The Venezuelan ambassador to France, Michel Mujica, denounced this Wednesday that the crusade of European countries against the Venezuelan people disowns International Law and the UN Charter.
In an interview with the Prensa Latina press agency, the diplomat regretted that some European governments play the aggressiveness unleashed by the United States against the South American nation, a hostile policy that includes economic sanctions with a severe impact on the population.
They lie when they say that it only affects the government, because it is the Venezuelan people who suffer the consequences of crazy behavior, difficult to imagine in these times, as he warned.
According to the diplomat, the theft of 31 tons of gold deposited in the Bank of England, validated by the British High Court, and the sanctions of the European Union (EU) to political figures, including opponents, is just the last chapter of the campaign to impose a regime change.
They intend with the pressures to compel Venezuelans to accept Juan Guaidó, the self-proclaimed president, who is nothing more than a puppet without support and credibility within the population, as he said.
Mujica insisted that Guaidó is not even accepted in broad sectors of the opposition, which is easy to understand when taking into account his undemocratic behaviors, by linking up with drug traffickers and mercenaries and participating in unsuccessful destabilization actions.
For the Venezuelan ambassador to France, the objectives of Washington’s attacks, sometimes accompanied by the complicit silence of the EU and others with its direct participation, seek to destroy sovereignty and the economy and close the doors of dialogue with the willing opposition to respect democratic rules and the Constitution.
Repeated decisions that transgress International Law and the UN Charter could sooner or later become a boomerang for those who with all intention forget that countries can coexist in peace despite their political differences, he stressed to Prensa Latina.
In that sense, he specified that in the case of the theft of Venezuelan gold, voices within the United Kingdom have warned that such conduct could generate distrust in those interested in investing in the British financial system, ‘because, who will guarantees them that will not happen the same?».
Mujica affirmed that Venezuela resists the crusade, which is particularly reprehensible in the current context of the pandemic caused by Covid-19.
«We have heard calls from the United Nations to ease sanctions and prevent those affected from seeing limited efforts to control it, but in the case of my country, the opposite is true, as the aggressions multiply», he said.
