The Government rejected the call, which aims to “research huge amounts of money, in addition to being a hostile event against our country.”
For the Executive, the conference only serves the commercial interests of some of its participants. He pointed out that in similar calls, resources have been obtained that have been administered opaquely and without any accountability.
“The Venezuelan Government once again denounces the politicization of the international organizations responsible for migration, as well as the manipulation and shameless disregard for scientific rigor in the handling of migrant figures, which constitutes an attack against the rights inherent to human mobility and moves these institutions away from the mandate that has been given to them within the United Nations,” the statement reads.
He urged the United Nations System and its countries “not to be fooled by a new plan of aggression against our country.” He demanded an end to the sanctions.
