The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejected this Wednesday
the statement issued by the United States Department of State (USA) regarding the
recent deactivation of five conspiracies led by the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), to destabilize
the country and sow acts of violence.
In an official statement, released by Foreign Minister
Yván Gil, the Bolivarian Government stated that the United States “has lost its moral compass”
by “condemning Venezuela for taking actions within the framework of the Constitution and
laws to preserve peace, while arresting
truly peaceful demonstrators against the genocide in Gaza and seeking to curtail their freedom of expression.”
Below is the full text of the document:
The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
categorically rejects the State Department's cynical statement regarding the recent deactivation of terrorist operations that sought to destabilize
the country and sow acts of violence.
The Government of the United States of America has lost its moral
compass. On the one hand, it seeks to condemn Venezuela for taking actions within
the framework of the Constitution and laws to preserve peace, while on
the other hand, it arrests truly peaceful demonstrators against the genocide in
Gaza and seeks to curtail their freedom of expression. With such a lack of coherence, it is
not surprising that Washington advocates on behalf of the architects of the frustrated
terrorist operations in Venezuela and that it even provides them with its complicit position.
Defending these destabilizing actions encourages
violence and threatens the normal development of the 2024 electoral process.
However, the decisive action taken by the Attorney General's Office, by the
competent authorities, as well as the democratic conviction
of the Venezuelan people, are and will be the sufficient guarantee of our
electoral process, which, despite threats, obvious interventionism and imperialist
blackmail, will take place in the country with the full exercise of its sovereignty and with guarantees of peace.
