Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro today (22 Sep) demanded “all criminal sanctions against the Venezuelan economy and Venezuelan society applied by the United States and the governments of the European Union to be lifted.”
In a recorded address to the General Assembly’s General Debate, Maduro said, “we make this call with righteousness and morality on our side. And we make this call in the name of 30 million Venezuelan men and women.”
The Venezuelan President said, the United States has “tried to use international organizations and international law as a means to justify the fierce onslaught and the criminal attacks against the noble, peaceful, and democratic people of Venezuela."
He continued, “a fierce onslaught against the right to buy what our country needs, and against the right to sell what our country produces, especially the vast oil and mineral wealth that Venezuela’s soil provides, and which for decades has developed. They pursue our finances; they have retained and blocked access to the gold of our legitimate international reserves of the Venezuelan Central Bank in London."
Through a series of executive orders, the United States’ sanctions on Venezuela, among other things, block property of the Government of Venezuela and prohibit transactions with designated Venezuelan individuals and entities.
