– Do you support the 1966 Geneva Agreement as the only valid legal instrument to reach a practical and satisfactory solution for Venezuela and Guyana regarding the controversy over the territory of Guayana Esequiba?
– Do you agree with Venezuela’s historical position of not recognizing the Jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice to resolve the territorial controversy over Guayana Esequiba?
– Do you agree to oppose, by all legal means, Guyana’s claim to unilaterally, illegally and in violation of international law, dispose of a sea pending delimitation?
– Do you agree with the creation of the Guayana Esequiba state and the development of an accelerated plan for comprehensive care for the current and future population of that territory that includes, among others, the granting of Venezuelan citizenship and identity card, in accordance with the Agreement of Geneva and international law, consequently incorporating said state on the map of Venezuelan territory?
