The Venezuelan government categorically condemned and rejected this Thursday the stigmatization and criminalization campaign launched against the Venezuelan people by the government of the United States of America.
In a statement released by Chancellor Yván Gil on social media, the Venezuelan state notes that this campaign is expressed «in a new attack that restricts the issuance and validity of visas for Venezuelan citizens, without any justification and with obvious political and intimidation purposes.»
Likewise, the statement says that «this operation is being promoted by the current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, an official marked by his well-known hatred of the Venezuelan people.»
«He has made systematic aggression his foreign policy, with the support of the Venezuelan far right wing,» denounces the document.
Likewise, it manifests that «the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela reiterates its unwavering commitment to defending the rights and interests of Venezuelans anywhere in the world.»
In this regard, Venezuela «faced with this new wave of attacks, reaffirms its maximum travel alert to the United States of America, warning that that country does not currently guarantee the minimum conditions of respect, dignified treatment, or legality for our citizens.»
Finally, it emphasizes that «what happened is not an isolated incident, but rather a new demonstration of the visceral hatred against the Venezuelan people that inspires those who currently conduct Washington’s foreign policy.»
