The National Assembly (AN) authorized a 15-year extension for the oil companies Boquerón SA and Petroperijá SA and assured that the investments, which will extend until 2041, will improve the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Maduro was asked to avoid bloodshed
Deputy Luis Eduardo Martínez (Democratic Action intervened) urged Nicolás Maduro to bet on dialogue between the United States and Venezuela to reduce tensions, after President Donald Trump deployed, in mid-August, military teams in the Caribbean to fight drug trafficking; actions that Caracas considers really seek a regime change in the country.
During the session of the National Assembly (AN) this Thursday, November 20, Martínez insisted that Venezuela is right and that “it is also time to engage fully in dialogue.”
«Mr. Nicolás Maduro, today you have the immense responsibility of guaranteeing peace. “With you we are committed to dialogue, respect, safeguarding our principles and values, our independence and freedom, and sovereignty,” the parliamentarian persisted.
Luis Eduardo Martínez also asked Maduro to avoid “shedding the blood that fits in a hummingbird. Peace, peace, peace.
He insisted that the US argument to combat drug trafficking “is a false narrative” and that the military deployment “is a violation of the Charter of the United Nations”, as well as a direct intervention in the internal affairs of Venezuela, which “intends to pave the way to justify armed aggression.”
In this sense, he explained that in previous years, the dialogue, under the leadership of the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, “has achieved the cessation of conflict and greater governability. May dialogue, external and prompt, be the tool to preserve peace and guarantee national sovereignty«he exhorted.
The statements of parliamentarian Luis Martínez arose after presenting an assessment of the Meeting of Jurists in Defense of International Law within the framework of the Council for Sovereignty and Peace, which was held in recent days in the country. He stated that congressmen from dozens of countries condemned the actions of the United States in the Caribbean.
Martínez asserted that the parliamentarians who participated in the meeting of jurists opposed the situation between the United States and Venezuela leading to a war and called for defending the world order, “based on respect and peaceful coexistence, not on the law of the strongest.”
Maduro said he was willing to talk “face to face” with Trump, after the US president said: “It is possible that we will have some conversations with Maduro, we will see how they turn out.”
However, the Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, He denied that the ruling party is holding negotiations with the United States to seek political change in the country. He stated that “nothing can put the Maduro government at risk.”
To date, the US has annihilated more than 22 “drug boats” in the Caribbean and the Pacific. These operations have left more than 80 dead.
Extension for oil companies Boquerón and Petroperijá
