The Minister of Communication and Information, Miguel Ángel Pérez Pirela, was in charge of denouncing the news as fake.
The Minister of Communication and Information, Miguel Ángel Pérez Pirela, denied this Tuesday the shipment of crude oil to Israel, after several media outlets disseminated the information citing Bloomberg in the midst of a context in which the country has given signs of opening to foreign capital for the sale of crude oil.
On Telegram, the minister shared an image with the Bloomberg headline with a red sign that says “fake”, without delving into details.
According to Bloomberg, the shipment was being transported by the Israeli conglomerate Bazan Group and was the first shipment “in years” from Venezuela to this country, with which relations were broken in 2009, for setting up a Zionist state, today under the scrutiny of the international community for committing a genocide in Palestine that does not stop.
Bloomberg, in addition to not indicating a source in its fake news, tried to support its note on the assumption that “Israel does not announce where it obtains its crude oil.”
