The Minister for DefenseVladimir Padrino López, said Saturday that the United States seeks to impose a narrative to “assault” the country, after the supposed sending of US military troops to the Caribbean “to combat drug trafficking.”
«The problem is a narrative that you want to impose to attack Venezuela. That is, building lies that a truth is being made, ”said the minister in a video posted on his Instagram.
Padrino López indicated that the United States has a “great communicational apparatus to spread its lie and Build false positives«.
“It is a battle between truth and lies, but the media apparatus of imperialism is so great that it manages to make lies become ‘truths.”
“Whoever wants to make a lie, manufactures it and nothing happens, because there is no law, there is no rule of international law, we are approaches to international law,” he added.
The Minister for Defense questioned whether the United States will not deploy troops in the Pacific.
«Are they not going to deploy through the Pacific where almost 90 % of the drug for the United States comes out? That is, the problem is the Caribbean? Is the theme Venezuela? Are the posters then in Venezuela? Are Coca crops in Venezuela? ”He questioned.
Venezuela free of drugs
On Thursday, the Minister of Interior and Justice of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, said that The authorities are deployed in the waters of the countryafter being consulted for his response to the sending of military troops by the United States in the Caribbean to combat drug trafficking.
He also said that The Venezuelan territory is free of drug production And he denied that it is a distribution step, while accusing the drug control administration (DEA) of being the “only drug cartel that operates in the light around the world” and that “it depends directly on the United States government, call what the president is called.”
«We are deployed throughout the Caribbean that corresponds to us, in our sea, Venezuelan territory property; Last night we grabbed some boats that carried fuel, ”he said.
He said that when the DEA moves “it is to ensure the transport of drugs for them.”
«Now, the answer is this, to be considered a poster, it must produce, process and move it. The United Nations speaks very clearly and says that in Venezuela there is no production of any drugs, it is a production -free territory, there are no laboratories, there is no drug processing anywhere in Venezuela and that report says that Venezuela is not transit, ”he said.
Cabello added that “the only drug poster operates in the light around the world is DEA and depends directly on the United States government, call it as the president of the United States.”
On the other hand, it should be remembered that the Venezuelan authorities have reiterated their alert against any aggression.
