The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the decision issued today by a Judge of the Washington State Court, in which ConocoPhillips is authorized to execute an arbitration award for up to USD 8.7 billion to the detriment of the assets of all Venezuelans and Venezuelans.
This unfair decision has been forged by violating the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela’s right to defense and in complicity with Venezuelan extremists including Juan Guaidó and José Ignacio Hernández who, usurping public functions, acted in collusion to favor ConocoPhillips in the case in point.
With this irritating and illegal decision, it is intended to consummate a step in the intricate plot of corruption that facilitates the delivery of Venezuelan assets to foreign powers, through procedural fraud where the legitimate representatives of Venezuela are prevented from fully and effectively defending the interests assets of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and PDVSA, through the imposition of unilateral coercive measures.
In this sense, we make a call to the international community about the obvious maneuvers with which they intend to justify the plunder and fraud against a sovereign nation. With this measure, the United States not only violates International Law, it also highlights the absence of guarantees and justice for any Nation.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will never renounce the legitimate defense of its rights and interests in the corresponding instances, and ratifies that it will continue actively with the legal actions against the stateless persons who participated in this fraud, with the firm commitment to preserve the patrimony of the Republic whose only owner is the Venezuelan people.
