Bolivarian Government Rejects U.S. Law to Deepen Aggression Against the Venezuelan People

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the new interventionist aggression undertaken by the ruling elite of the United States of America, this time by attempting to pass legislation ironically baptized as the Emergency Assistance, Democracy and Development Assistance for Venezuela Act, designed to deepen the attacks against the Venezuelan people and ignore our sovereignty and our internal constitutional order.

Behind this chain of euphemisms, an instrument is hidden that aims to accentuate the implementation of unilateral coercive measures, which are illegal, while violating the Charter of the United Nations, insofar as they undermine the human rights of more of 30 million Venezuelans. Additionally, in a delirium of imperial arrogance, the U.S. Congress intends, through this legislation, to arrogate to itself the right to punish countries that maintain commercial relations with Venezuela.

In short, this law seeks only the restoration of neo-liberalism in Venezuela and the plundering of its resources, for which it openly proposes an alleged regime of legal guardianship over Venezuela, in which even its sell-out political allies in the Venezuelan opposition would be bound by the opinions and "recommendations" of the U.S. government.

Far from solving the problem in their country of more than 50 million people living in conditions of poverty or reversing the serious violation of the human rights of more than 5,000 migrant families who have been separated so far this year, the U.S. Congress intends to waste its taxpayers' money to finance the destabilization of Venezuela and deliver resources to its satellite governments that are accomplices of its strategy.

In the face of this new aggression, the People and the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela remain firmly on the road of legality, peace and the heroic effort to build social justice, always ready to defend, in any scenario and in any modality, its Constitution and its participatory and protagonist democracy from illegal coercive measures and from acts of war and destabilization.

The dignity of the people of Bolivar will remain intact in the face of any supremacist attack, as well as their will to remain free, sovereign and to live in peace.
