The president of the Venezuelan Parliamentary Group of the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (GPVPL), Ángel Luis Rodríguez Gamboa, expressed his total rejection of the decision of the High Court of London to keep the Venezuelan gold deposited in the Bank of England.
He urged the Latin-Caribbean community to express their discomfort and repudiation of what can be described as “colonial piracy with new-style corsairs.”
In the opinion of the parliamentarian, the opinion of the London Superior Court, what it intends is to deprive the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela of an asset as important as gold.
“Venezuelan assets deposited in the British bank continue to belong to Venezuelans. We support the steps taken by the Central Bank of Venezuela to recover our wealth and we are sure that Justice will prevail,” said Rodríguez.
He pointed out that it is a “great nonsense” to recognize the extremist and radical opponents who have done so much damage to Venezuela. “The opposition destroys everything it touches, proof of this is Citgo and the destruction of the Colombo Venezolana Monómeros company.”

“It seems like a compromise by extremist sectors to affect Venezuela, because there is no legal justification for keeping this Venezuelan aircraft on Argentine soil,” Rodríguez said.
He maintains that the measure against the Emtrasur aircraft is an absurd decision on the part of Argentina, with which it is also violating international civil aviation regulations and aeronautical law.
