Anti-Blockade Law will confront US criminal aggression against Venezuela

The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, informed the Venezuelan people on Tuesday that the draft of the Anti-Blockade Law for National Development and the Guarantee of Human Rights delivered to the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), will confront the persecution and criminal aggression of USA against Venezuela.

The National President announced a summary of the damages caused by an asymmetric attack, designed by the hegemonic power of the United States “to suffocate and devastate Venezuela”, said the Head of State.

Likewise, he exhorted the ANC constituents to debate this proposed Law in order to offer the National Executive the tools to overcome the obstacles imposed by the imperial persecution policies.

In this regard, he added that “the criminal imperial blockade has attacked the heart of the Bolivarian socialist project of justice and protection. All our indicators have been affected”, he pointed out.

President Maduro stressed that the Anti-Blockade Law will remedy the situation, through resistance and national unity, with productive work: “It will be an instrument to shield the 17 productive engines designed to relaunch the economy, to create the new productive model of the country”, said the Head of State.

“The law will allow the State to continue advancing in the 2025 Homeland Plan, bequeathed by Chávez as the supreme guide to build the new homeland, and will be in effect for as long as the blockade lasts”, said Maduro Moros.

The Anti-Blockade Law is expected to promote the immediate recovery of the country during the next quarter: October, November and December 2020.

President Maduro emphasized that in 2015 Barack Obama signed the imperial decree that declared Venezuela an “unusual and extraordinary threat”, with which all US presidents have covered themselves with an alleged “legality” to apply unilateral sanctions that are in violation of international and humanitarian law.

In this sense, he called on Venezuelans not to be misled about the upcoming presidential elections in the US next November, where Joe Biden and current President Donald Trump are competing.
