The National Assembly of Venezuela roundly condemns the “insolent expressions of the Exxon Mobil Government in Guyana.” This was made known by the legislative branch through an official statement.
In the letter, the National Assembly denounces that the Guyana government’s statements are “riddled with lies.” They also accuse them of “double standards, rudeness, inaccuracies, manipulation, hypocrisy and false victimization.”
In the communiqué is explained that “the objective of this is to discredit the legitimate actions undertaken by our Legislative Branch in the call for a Consultative Referendum. A constitutional mechanism approved unanimously last Thursday, September 21 in ordinary session, to reaffirm the defense of the Essequibo Territory that by right and history belongs to us.”
Following, the full Communiqué:
“The National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela strongly rejects and repudiates the insolent declaration of the Government of the transnational oil company Exxon Mobil in Guyana, in an argument full of lies, double standards, rudeness, inaccuracies, manipulation, hypocrisy and false victimization, which attempts to question legitimate decisions and actions undertaken by our Legislative Branch in the call for a Consultative Referendum, a constitutional mechanism approved unanimously last Thursday, September 21 in an ordinary session, to reaffirm the defense of the Essequibo Territory that by right and history belongs to us.
Venezuela is a country with more than 200 years of independence, sovereignty, self-determination and without tutelage of any kind, which does not accept, under any circumstances, questions or accusations by any country or foreign force about the sovereign decisions assumed by our institutions legitimately. constituted.
It is regrettable that today, the Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana behaves like a franchise of the North American oil transnational Exxon Mobil, whose interests are essentially the appropriation of the existing oil in this territory, which is still pending resolution of the controversy. putting peace in the region at risk. Today the United States of America, the United Kingdom from the COMMONWEALTH, and that infamous caricature of the Ministry of Colonies called the OAS, seek to internationally legitimize immoral, illegal, legally manipulated actions, which have been deliberately presented to install them as acceptable in the world to perpetrate. a new and aberrant theft of territory, of oil resources and to shamelessly try to impose plunder, colonization and domination.
The National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, together with the Head of State, constitutional president Nicolás Maduro Moros, and our People will continue to exercise in full sovereignty the constitutional mandates entrusted to defend and preserve our sacred soil of Guayana Essequibo, so that it is guaranteed what by right and history belongs to us.
THE SUN OF VENEZUELA IS BORN IN THE ESEQUIBO!”
