Venezuela Rejects Guyana’s Statements on Essequibo Referendum
The Venezuelan government rejected on Tuesday the statements made by Guyana against the consultative referendum on Essequibo Guyana to be held on December 3.
Through a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry pointed out that Guyana’s position on the popular consultation responds to foreign interests and is loaded with “a deep contempt for the Venezuelan people, its Bolivarian history, and it’s right to express itself, in a democratic manner, on matters of special national transcendence.”
Venezuelan government “categorically rejects the infamous and offensive statements of the Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.” They were “drafted by the law firm employed by ExxonMobil, a company that has corrupted the Latin American and Caribbean values of this nation and has bought the Guyanese political class, dragging it into erratic actions, contrary to public international law.”
Venezuela denounced that there is a marked commercial and economic interest mediating in the neighboring country, and that the objective is to appropriate the energy resources and try to threaten the peace and stability of Venezuela.
Venezuela urged the Guyanese government to desist from “its unilateral and subordinated actions to transnational capital,” as well as to “resolve the territorial controversy, as agreed with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, just before the birth of Guyana as an independent nation.”
