He Zulia state governorManuel Rosales, reiterated that he is against the so-called trade sanctions imposed against Venezuela by the United States and its satellite states.
“Even though it has a political cost, we have expressed with a clear and strong voice that it is time to suspend the country’s trade sanctions that end up ruining industry, commerce and the agricultural sector,” said the regional president on Thursday at the installation ceremony of the 79th Annual Assembly of Fedecámaras.
In his speech before the plenary session of Venezuelan businessmen, Rosales maintained that “these measures end up harming the productive forces. Also to communities and people. They liquidate the opportunities, employment and dreams of the Venezuelan family”.

It is time to put an end to those sanctions that suffocate people, without providing any political solution to Venezuela.
