- Venezuela Rejects Guyanese Statements About the Organized Law of the Esequibo
The Government of Venezuela rejected on Thursday the communiqué issued by Guyana on the promulgation of the Organic Law for the Defense of Guayana Esequiba, which was approved by the National Assembly.
In a statement, shared by Foreign Minister Yván Gil in his social network account X, the Government stressed that “the approval of the aforementioned law is a sovereign act, which is the sole responsibility of Venezuelans and its objective is to defend and preserve the unquestionable rights of Venezuela over the territory of Guayana Esequiba under the aegis of international law and the Geneva Agreement of 1966”.
He stated that the Geneva Agreement is the only valid instrument for resolving “amicably, practically and satisfactorily the territorial dispute between our two countries, as recorded in the Argyle Agreement of 14 December 2023”.
“Venezuela reiterates that it does not recognize the judicial mechanism as a means of resolving the territorial dispute with Guyana, inasmuch as it excludes the nature and object of the aforementioned Geneva Agreement, and denounces the dangerous maneuver designed by the ExxonMobil supported by the US Southern Command. and the Central American Intelligence Agency (CIA), in order to appropriate energy resources that are in a pending sea to delimit with our country, while illegally administering our territory,” he says in the text.

The President Nicolas Maduro Rejects Milei’s Request for Sanctions
President Nicolas Maduro rejected the intentions of Argentine President Javier Milei to promote international sanctions against Venezuela.
The Bolivarian leader pointed out that Zionism, which he equated to the new fascism, came to power with Milei’s rise to office.
“Milei says he will lead a crusade to have Venezuela sanctioned, surrounded, and beaten. From Caracas’ neighborhoods, I say to Milei, ‘You and how many others? Milei, look at yourself in Bolsonaro’s mirror. Look at yourself in Macri’s mirror. Anyone who messes with Venezuela, dries up,” he asserted.
Previously, during an interview broadcast by CNN on March 30, the far-right Argentine politician stated that he would have no problem adopting diplomatic sanctions against Venezuela, adding that he would even be willing to convince other countries to do the same.
During the latest edition of the Maduro Podcast, the Bolivarian leader also remembered Diego Maradona, an Argentine footballer known for his progressive political stances and support for Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, and other peoples assaulted by imperialism.
“I have a theory about Maradona’s death. I believe they killed Maradona… I spoke to him on his birthday before his death and I said, ‘Diego, come to Venezuela. We’ll take care of you. I’m worried about you,” Maduro said.
