The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela condemned
this Wednesday the decision of Argentine judge Federico Villena to consummate
the theft of the Venezuelan plane of the company Transporte Cargo del Sur
(EMTRASUR), hijacked since June 2022 at
Ezeiza airport, in Buenos Aires, calling the action “servile to imperial interests”.
In a statement, shared on the social network X by
Foreign Minister Yván Gil, the Bolivarian Government warned that “it will carry out all legal, diplomatic and political
measures to safeguard its rights.
In this regard, it alerts the international community, and especially
Latin American countries, that any illegal measure that allows
overflight and support to consummate this theft will be duly interpreted as
a hostile act, supporting vandalism against a sovereign country,” he emphasized.
Below is the full text of the document:
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
categorically rejects and condemns the decision, clearly subservient to imperial interests,
taken by Argentine federal judge Federico Villena, who attempts to consummate the
theft of the Venezuelan aircraft belonging to the company Transporte Cargo del
Sur (EMTRASUR), hijacked since June 2022 in the Argentine Republic.
With this illegal decision, the Argentine State submits to
the powers of U.S. imperialism and flagrantly violates the Convention
on International Civil Aviation, the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the Charter of
the United Nations, the Bilateral Agreement between the Argentine
Republic and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and other agreements
relating to International Air Navigation and Human Rights .
Venezuela has demonstrated, before all international legal
and political bodies, the legal and legitimate possession of the aforementioned
aircraft, dedicated to the transport of essential supplies in
our region. The conduct of pillage, piracy and vassalage of the Argentine justice system and
government transgress their own legislation and turn that
nation into a serious infringer of international law in commercial and aeronautical matters.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela shall carry out all legal, diplomatic and political
measures to safeguard its rights.
In this regard, it alerts the international community, and especially
Latin American countries, that any illegal measure that allows
overflight and support to consummate this theft will be duly interpreted as
a hostile act, supporting vandalism against a sovereign country.
