The blatant theft of Citgo “began with Obama and his decree, then Donald Trump came with organized crime, but this License 42 of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is lost sight of in the content that violates the laws of Venezuela and private international law”, emphasized the Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez.
“There was nothing left on the planet that they have not violated with that license, and I want to remember on January 9, 2023, OFAC, in this network of blockade and violation against the country, issues a license where it recognizes the National Assembly of 2015” , said the Vice President from the Simón Bolívar Room, in the Miraflores Palace where she offered important information on the dispossession carried out by USA of the company citgo.
Given these actions, the Executive Vice President denounced that the Government of the United States gave the green light to start the process of auction court of citgoVenezuela’s main asset abroad.

This measure, which has been denounced by Venezuela as “a blatant robbery attempt” of Citgo, arises after the Court of Justice of Delaware authorize Venezuelan debt creditors to seize the Venezuelan company.
Faced with this new onslaught against the country, Vice President Decy Rodríguez stressed that “OFAC license 42 is lost sight of in its violative content, there was no rule left on the planet that has not been violated with this decision.”
No agreement will be recognized

He indicated that with “this new OFAC license, who can or cannot buy the country’s resources is authorized as a hit man.”
“It is incredible that this happens after an international conference was held in Colombia, where 20 countries denounced the blockade against Venezuela, they made fun of all those countries, they unanimously called for an end to the blockade, but there were “the little sheep” mocking ”, he added.
