Bolivarian Government rejects US persecution against Motta Domínguez and Eustoquio Lugo

This Wednesday the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejected the US Government’s policy of aggression and judicial persecution against Venezuelan officials or former officials, for which they use injury and pretend to damage the image of State institutions.

Through a communique issued by the Chancellory of the Republic, it is assured that the White House justifies new attacks against the Venezuelan people.

“Once again, like cowboys of the 21st century, they resort to the strategy of offering rewards for the detention of public servants”, rejects the official text.

The answer is given after the US Government attacked former Minister Luis Motta Domínguez and former Vice Minister Eustoquio Lugo without any basis, placing a sum of money for revealing the location of these Venezuelan citizens.

However, the statement ensures that the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela is proud of the men and women who, despite the threats, slander and intimidation, remain firm in the defense of both their personal integrity, as well as the Republic and its democratic institutions.

Following, the full communique 

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its firm rejection of the policy of the United States Government of unleashing judicial persecution against officials or former officials of the Bolivarian Government based on injury. They thus intend to damage the image of the State institutions, to justify new attacks against the Venezuelan people.

Once again, like 21st century cowboys, they resort to the strategy of offering rewards for the arrest of public servants. In this case they attack, without any basis, former Minister Luis Motta Domínguez and former Vice Minister Eustoquio Lugo, in another of their infamous acts of aggression against the Venezuelan State.

The Bolivarian Government of Venezuela is proud of the men and women who, despite threats, slander, and intimidation, remain firm in the defense of both their personal integrity and the Republic and its democratic institutions.

By appealing to lies and pretending to prosecute political and economic aggression against Venezuela, the ruling elite of the United States has failed time and again and is destined to fail a million times, by crashing against the courage and dignity of a people free, heir to the noblest struggles and causes, ready to give everything to defend his homeland”.
