Caracas, June 18, 2024.- The Government of Nicaragua, a member country of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), denounced the colonialist and imperialist policies of the United States against Venezuela and the peoples of the region.

In a press release, the Nicaraguan Executive warned that the U.S. Government continues to plunder the resources of the people, “and in this case, the resources of our Venezuelan brothers with the illegal and illicit seizure of the Petroleum Company, CITGO”.

“We condemn once again these absurd outrages that reflect an invariable American behavior that has done, and continues to do, so much harm to the world and the community,” the press release reads.

The President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, and his Vice President Rosario Murillo, on behalf of the Nicaraguan people, sent Venezuela a fraternal message of solidarity.

This week, the U.S. administration, with the support of the Venezuelan right wing, seized CITGO Company.

Meanwhile, the Vice President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, affirmed that this robbery was “orchestrated by the Government of the United States, Leopoldo López, Juan Guaidó, Julio Borges and the neo-fascist class of surnames, which is why Venezuela will not recognize any type of fraudulent operation”.
