Caracas, March 2 (RHC)-- Delcy Rodríguez, vice president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, criticized the statement of what she called "third-rank bureaucrats of CARICOM," who behind the backs of Heads of Government of this organization lend themselves to attacking Venezuela, but have not denounced the illegal exploitation of a territory in dispute in International Law.
In a message on her Telegram channel, Rodríguez criticized the position of certain representatives of the CARICOM organization (Caribbean Community), who lend their voice to the provocative and unjustified statements of the president of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, and endorse the plan of the United States Southern Command to attack the Bolivarian Republic.
The vice president and the Venezuelan government reject the interference in this territorial controversy, of those who do not intend to serve as facilitators of a peaceful solution, but to ignite a climate of war and confrontation in the region.
In this sense, she recalled the role that Latin American countries must play in the prevention of armed conflicts and the confrontation of the voracious interests of transnational companies such as Exxon Mobil: "The Caribbean countries are called by history to play a constructive role in this territorial dispossession artificially created by ancient empires."
Delcy Rodriguez said that these nations are still in time to prevent Latin America and the Caribbean, one of the few zones of peace in the world, from becoming a territory of conflict to legitimize the theft and manipulation of these corporations and of malicious and lackey politicians like Ali.
Venezuela assures that despite the interference of a group of bureaucrats from CARICOM -- not the entire organization, made up of friendly countries -- and the misrepresentations of the president of Guyana, it will not renounce its historical rights over the Essequibo, and will continue all legal and diplomatic actions that are necessary to defend its sovereignty.
Also today, the Government communicated its rejection of the misrepresentations of Irfaan Ali, who, while allowing illegal concessions for the exploitation of energy resources in waters that are in international dispute, allows himself the luxury of spreading lies about the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, whose units have never violated Guyanese maritime territory.
The Bolivarian Republic will continue to denounce the territorial dispossession that is intended to be carried out in order to benefit corporations and allow invasions of the sovereign territory of Venezuela.
