Caracas, November 21 (RHC)-- The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) has repudiated the approval of a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that attempts to tighten the blockade against Venezuela.
In rejecting this legislation, which “they have had the abuse of calling the Bolivar Law,” the ALBA-TCP member states referred that this bill with infamous objectives, an example of grotesque interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign State, seeks to harm, once again, the welfare of millions of Venezuelan men and women.
In this sense, the organization stressed that the most vulnerable population is the one who is most affected, intensifying the impact of unilateral coercive measures.
“It seeks to hinder the country's economic recovery and impede Venezuela's economic relations and cooperation, adding to the more than 930 unilateral and extraterritorial coercive measures already applied against the Venezuelan people,” the bloc added.
Likewise, this legislative project represents “a clearly premeditated gross offense, which seeks to stain the name of the Liberator Simón Bolívar.”
At the same time, the organization recognizes that he is a fundamental and historical figure of Latin American independence, who gave his entire life to the freedom and happiness of the peoples of the South and who was profoundly anti-imperialist.
Demanding respect for the Charter of the United Nations and the norms of International Law, ALBA-TCP called on the sister nations of Latin America and the Caribbean and the international community as a whole to condemn this illegal act in violation of national sovereignty.
It should be noted that the Bolivarian organization urges respect “for the will of the free, independent and sovereign peoples, proud of the emancipating deeds of their independence leaders and warned, more than 200 years ago by Simón Bolívar himself, that the United States would try to ‘plague America with miseries in the name of freedom’”.
The Alliance stressed that this attempt from the U.S. “will be a new failure of the imperial pretensions to subdue the brotherly Bolivarian people and its legitimate Government.”
