The Venezuelan Foreign Minister Carlos Faria On the afternoon of September 24, he participated in the 77th General Assembly of the United Nations, where he read a letter from President Nicolás Maduro denouncing the “economic war”, the “theft” and the “sanctions” of which his father has been a victim. administration by the United States and European countries.
“They accuse us of being a dictatorship,” says part of the letter read by Faría in New York, which also points out the aggressions against the country «in multiple ways. All manuals have been applied to Venezuela to destabilize its democracy. The United States has promoted assassination attempts, conspiracy and have even invented a fictitious parallel government that bordered on the ridiculous.
The last time that the Venezuelan president was in person at the UN General Assembly was on September 26, 2018. In the following participations of Venezuela, he was covered by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and former Foreign Minister Samuel Moncada, while in 2021 he sent a video to the assembly.
According to Maduro, 913 sanctions have been applied to Venezuela that, “in short, prevent my people from buying and selling what they need (…) This translates into suffering, deprivation and systematic aggressions that restrict the life and systematic rights of my country”.
In addition, it is highlighted that the “economic war” has left losses in the order of 150,000 million dollars in recent years, which has also prevented the purchase of medical supplies to deal with the covid-19 pandemic.
In the letter they also refer to the gold reserves deposited in the Bank of England, which for Maduro “are kidnapped”, as well as the “theft” of Citgo Petroleum Corporation.
Maduro and migration
Part of the letter from the ruler Nicolás Maduro, and read by Foreign Minister Carlos Faría, refers to Venezuelan migration, which he asserted is “induced” by “acts of piracy” against the country, which “has left deep wounds in society ».
“Nothing is said about the 60% of the Venezuelan population that emigrated and returned fleeing the ill-treatment they are subjected to in other countries of the world (…) We are the only country in the world that has a repatriation policy through the state Conviasa, which is sanctioned, ”continues the letter.
This statement has been part of Maduro’s speech in recent weeks, which also called for a review of accounts of donations made to help Venezuelan migration.

He also accused the countries of starting a campaign of aporophobia, xenophobia and racism, which especially affects Venezuelans inside and outside the country. “Our people have not given up, quite the contrary, they have built their path for social peace, economic recovery.”
According to the letter, Venezuela has 30 million cultivable hectares and 70% of what the country consumes in agri-food is being produced. For this reason, they ratified their willingness to want to “be useful” as members of OPEC to guarantee energy solutions.
in favor of Russia
Another of the issues raised by Maduro in his letter is the “path of diplomatic dialogue”, and not precisely the negotiation that he held with sectors of the Venezuelan opposition under the auspices of the Mexican government and the mediation of the Kingdom of Norway.
Maduro referred instead to Russia’s war against Ukraine. According to the president, “an escalation of war in no part of the world is in no one’s interest” and, therefore, they endorse Mexico’s proposal for a commission to facilitate dialogue between these countries.
He also rejected the sanctions and blockades against the Russian Federation, as well as against Iran, Nicaragua and Cuba; while he requested the return to Argentina of the island of Las Malvinas/Falklands, currently under the command of the United Kingdom. “Let’s change what has to be changed, and have the courage to face new challenges.”
