The Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Relations of Venezuela, Yván Gil, published on his social networks an official communiqué from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, rejecting the recent illegitimate imposition of unilateral coercive measures by the outgoing Government of the United States (US), against Venezuelan officials, who work for the well-being of the country.
Following, the full text of the communiqué:
“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, in the strongest terms, the most recent illegitimate imposition of unilateral coercive measures by the outgoing government of the United States against the Venezuelan people, and in particular, against a group of patriots who, from their positions, have dedicated themselves to safeguarding peace, stability, economic recovery and national unity in the face of fascist violence designed, financed and promoted from Washington, against the democratic will of the Venezuelan people.
The measures announced today are a desperate act by a decadent and erratic government, which seeks to hide its resounding electoral failure and the serious social crisis in which it leaves the country, with a new aggression against the noble Venezuelan people. These measures do not promote democracy in Venezuela, but rather seek to give a last breath to a dispersed and discredited fascist group that has no roots in the Venezuelan population, in order to prolong its failed policy of regime change.
Four months after the great popular victory, the Bolivarian Government reaffirms its unwavering commitment to continue consolidating its participatory and leading democratic model, and strengthening its economy in the midst of constant unpunished attacks.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, faithful to its historical tradition of struggle and sovereignty, reiterates in the face of any attack that the people of Bolívar and Chávez can never be defeated and that their triumphant path towards the consolidation of peace and political, economic and social stability is irreversible.”
