The president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, warned this Friday that the use of Venezuelan assets abroad by a sector of the opposition, violates the agreements reached last October in Barbados at the negotiating table for the peace dialogues together with the so-called Unitary Platform, where groups from the country’s opposition sectors converge:
“If it were to happen, as has happened in the past, that they continue getting their hands on Venezuelan assets, those who are sweeping Ali Baba’s caves are violating the Barbados agreements that express that the parties are agreeing to recover these assets, and not for private individuals to appropriate, not for Guaidó to continue playing paddle in Miami, but to be invested in the social security of the Venezuelan people, in education, and the country’s infrastructure.
“That is a signed agreement. If you continue getting your hands on money that does not belong to you, you are not only violating the law, not only are you committing the crime of theft, violating a Catholic commandment, but also violating the Barbados agreements that state that cannot be touched those assets on that the parties are agreeing to recover,” said the president of the Parliament.
