During an inspection of the operation of the Caujarito Water Treatment Plant, the Head of State explained that these resources are invested in water, health, education, housing, salaries, social protection
The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, denounced this Thursday that the economic blockade has led Venezuela to receive less than 10% of the income it received before the criminal sanctions. “These resources are invested in water, health, education, housing, wages, social protection.”
During a day dedicated to the balance of the rehabilitation and inauguration of works for the Venezuelan people, in the state of Miranda, the Head of State said that before Venezuela received 56 billion dollars annually, “now, in the year 2022, there were barely five billion, much less than 10%.”
“We are investing in everything, we are in a historic birth to maintain the path of living-living, to advance on top of the inequalities created by the imperial blockade.”
On the other hand, Maduro referred to the fugitive from justice Leopoldo Lópezwho camouflaged himself as a representative of an NGO to speak ill of Venezuela at the United Nations Human Rights Council.
During his speech, López – in addition to ignoring the advances in the field of human rights that has been implemented in the country -, asked that the more than 900 sanctions promoted by the United States government be maintained.
“Someday rats like Leopoldo López will be behind bars, they will pay sooner rather than later,” he concluded.
