Caracas, August 8 (RHC)-- The Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has decided not to send its delegation to the dialogue meetings scheduled for this Thursday and Friday, August 8th and 9th, in Barbados.  

Jorge Rodriguez, the Minister for Communications and Information made the announcement on his Twitter account, ahead of an official statement issued by the Venezuelan government.  The text explains that the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro decided not to send his delegation this time after the serious and brutal aggression by the Donald Trump administration.

"We Venezuelans have noted with deep indignation that the head of the opposition delegation, Juan Guaido, celebrates, promotes and supports these harmful actions against the sovereignty of our country and of the most elementary human rights of its inhabitants." 

The official statement also explains that from now on, the government will review "the mechanisms of that process so that its continuation is really effective and harmonious with the interests of our people."

Venezuela has been subjected to an illegal blockade that prevents economic, commercial and financial activities that impact on the purchase of food, medicines and the payment of international liabilities, threatening the free trade of nations.
