The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry on Monday denounced the decision of a UK court that prevents the country from recovering its own international reserves, which would help mitigate the impacts generated by the illegal blockade.
“This decision violates the norms of international public law, the Venezuelan constitutional order and British law, and represents a serious risk to the investments that the international community has entrusted to the UK financial system”, the ministry said.
“The British government is resorting to a fraudulent political set-up, in complicity with extremist factors in Venezuelan politics, led by the impostor Juan Guaidó, with the perverse aim of blatantly stealing the gold of Venezuelans and seizing the international reserves of the Venezuelan state, as part of the anti-legal framework directed from Washington to dispossess the resources that are the property of our people”, the statement emphasised.
