The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, denounced this Thursday that the United States government (USA) seeks to impose a colonial model, through the Office of Control of Foreign Assets (OFAC).
In statements broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión, the Venezuelan head of state described as “unacceptable” the constant sanctions issued by OFAC against Venezuela.
«A kind of world dictatorship is established. They (USA) are trying to establish a colonial model. Venezuela denounces the colonial model of OFAC, an unacceptable model, because if you produce something, and sell it to another company, what you expect is that they pay you,” stressed the National President.
In this sense, he recalled that the US has applied more than 900 sanctions against the country in the last nine years, and promotes an opinion matrix that the economic effects are the product of the management of the sanctioned governments, and of coercive measures. .
“The US applies the sanctions and applies that the result of its sanctions is the fault of the sanctioned governments,” he stressed at the inauguration of the Expo Gobierno 2023.
During the work day – held at the Teresa Carreño Theater -, the Venezuelan president urged the international community to denounce the colony model that OFAC seeks to impose.
«Venezuela respects itself and does not accept colonial models on its gas and oil industry, on its economy and on our country. We’ll get through it!” she concluded.
In order to deal with the blockade, President Maduro stressed that the Anti-Blockade Law was created, which was approved by the National Assembly (AN), in order to confront “the model of imperialist aggression.”
“Our policies are policies to confront aggression, the most brutal war ever experienced, and we have reinvented ourselves on the basis of our deep roots, and we will continue to reinvent ourselves,” he said.
