The Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruiz, stated that the former president of the United States Donald Trump, by declaring that with the collapse of Venezuela he intended to take control of the country’s oil, is assuming responsibility for all the actions of his government against the South American nation.
“Although various spokesmen who were in the Trump government assumed that they were going to cause pain and anguish to the civilian population, they said so openly, now the one who assumes responsibility for all these actions by all those hitmen is precisely Donald Trump, by assuming that was trying to seize Venezuelan oil and that is why they had the goal of causing the collapse of the State,” Ruiz told exclusively. Last News.
– Seen from the perspective of the induced collapse of the national economy, can these actions be considered crimes against humanity against Venezuela?
-In that sense, yes. There is a relationship there, not only him (Donald Trump) but all those who have participated in this policy against the civilian population with a systematic attack that began with the government of (Barak) Obama, precisely when it began with the declaration of Venezuela as a unusual and extraordinary threat and then the sanctions directed against the civilian population begin to prevent money from entering the State that can be used in favor of children, adolescents, women and all social programs.
-The Ombudsman added that numerous victims of the civilian population have been counted due to the actions of the US government. “All of this has been denounced by the Venezuelan State, not only in the United Nations and in the UN Human Rights Council, but also also before the International Criminal Court. We are waiting for the pronouncement of the ICC Prosecutor’s Office on the responsibility of the US rulers in the application of unilateral coercive measures against Venezuela ”, he sentenced.
