"The world must know that there is no legal security in London or in the Bank of England", said the Venezuelan President

Caracas, August 4 (RHC)-- The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, qualified as robbery and piracy the retention of the gold of the South American country deposited in the vaults in the Bank of England, specifically in the United Kingdom.

"The gold that is in the vaults in England belongs to the Central Bank of Venezuela", referred the dignitary, who added that he will continue protesting against abuses, sanctions, kidnapping and theft of Venezuelan assets abroad.

"The world must know that there is no legal security in London or in the Bank of England, because at any time, any country can have its international reserves stolen. There is no respect for the Law!", denounced the President.

Likewise, while stressing that the gold belongs to all Venezuelans, the Venezuelan Head of State said that "we are going to continue fighting.  We will not stand idly by. We will continue protesting to recover the country's assets".

Last July 29, the Supreme Court of London denied the Venezuelan State access to the 32 tons of gold that are being held in the Bank of England, after the announcement was confirmed, the Bolivarian Government rejected the measure.

In this regard, the Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, described such attitude as unusual on the part of the British Court, "which, is subjected, subordinated, gagged to the decisions of the British crown, decisions that do not correspond to any judicial control."

After the decision of the British Court, Rodriguez added that "the Central Bank of Venezuela fixed its position and will go to all the corresponding legal instances."

"Someday the moment of truth will come, and that wealth, those goods, that gold, those airplanes, that belong to the Venezuelan State we will recover it," added President Maduro alluding to the United States (U.S.) claim of appropriating a Venezuelan airplane retained on Argentine soil.

"Venezuela raises its protest and asks the Argentine people for all their support to recover an airplane that belongs to a Venezuelan company and pretends to be stolen, after being hijacked for two months", denounced the president.

The Venezuelan president indicated that it is a cargo plane that fulfilled "a fundamental function in the life and humanitarian attention of Venezuela."
