The
Executive Vice President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, highlighted the
capacity of the People to resist the economic war promoted by the United
States (USA) and its allies against the nation.
In an interview
for the program “Conversing with Correa”, hosted by former
Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa and broadcast on RT, Rodríguez specified that, despite
losses close to 642 billion dollars, Venezuela is “standing up
setting an example that yes you can be independent of the offices of
Washington, that you can preserve the sovereignty of a country, with dignity and with
historical morality”.
He indicated that “Venezuela
is marking a historic milestone (...) What the Venezuelan people have done is a
true miracle, the accumulated sacrifice of the country's workers.”
According to the Executive
Vice President, it has been hard work because the blockade
generated “social wounds in health, education, food”, despite this, the Latin American
nation is making headway in economic recovery and
strengthening productive activities.
He said that the foreign
policy of the United States and its main instrument is to implement
“illegal sanctions and economic war” on countries that do not align with
their interests, tools that translate into “crimes against humanity”,
because they are aimed at all people and that is “massive violation of human rights
”.
Rodríguez recalled
that there are at least 30 countries under illegal sanctions; such as Russia, which has
15,000 coercive measures. Meanwhile, Venezuela reached 10 years of
economic blockade, a situation that caused significant losses, but it was emphasized that
President Nicolás Maduro knew how to face these adversities through
various social programs.
He said that Venezuelan
territory has 5.48% times more oil reserves than
North America, so he reiterated the intentions of the United States and the United
Kingdom to seize part of the territories where there are significant natural riches.
“There is a
new world under construction” on the map of global geopolitics, Rodríguez said, highlighting a “new counterweight block
to the dollar.”
