The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) rejected this Wednesday the recent imposition of arbitrary unilateral coercive measures (MCU) by Canada against a group of Venezuelan State officials.

In a statement, the regional bloc noted that “these so-called sanctions are nothing more than a failed attempt to put pressure on the sister Bolivian nation, with the purpose of promoting destabilization and promoting a change of government by force.”

Below is the full text of the document:

The member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) reject the imposition of unilateral and arbitrary coercive measures on a group of Venezuelan State officials, announced by the Government of Canada.

Canada, like the United States government, persists in its policy of imposing measures on Venezuelan public officials, in the name of “democracy”. These types of actions that follow the Canadian government justify the disparaging treatment that political actors in the United States give to that country.

These so-called “sanctions” are nothing more than a failed attempt to pressure the sister Bolivarian nation, with the purpose of promoting destabilization and promoting a change of government by force, in clear violation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and International Law.

Venezuela is within its just right to build its own model without interference of any kind and to continue walking along the path of prosperity and well-being, no matter how uncomfortable it may be for the governments in Ottawa and Washington.

The Bolivarian Alliance rejects this new wave of illegal and arbitrary measures and demands respect for the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people.
