Venezuela denounces before the international community the attempt of the Government of the United States (USA) to consummate a coup d’état against the Constitutional and Democratic Government of President Nicolás Maduro, “by promoting ignorance of the legitimate and democratic institutions of the Venezuelan State.”

The complaint was made by the National Government through a statement issued Sunday by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, where he recalled that in recent days spokesmen of the US government “have unleashed a series of hostile actions based on false assumptions that seek to manipulate the truth, with the purpose of breaking Venezuela’s institutional stability and peace. ”

Since the beginning of this 2019, the Secretary of State of the United States, Mike Pompeo has not ceased his attacks against Venezuela and at least five interventionist declarations have been made against the National Government.

One of them was on January 2 when he threatened to “act” against Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, after holding a bilateral meeting with the new Brazilian chancellor, Ernesto Araújo.

The complete text:

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela once again denounces to the international community the attempt of the Government of the United States to consummate a coup d’état against the Constitutional and Democratic Government of President Nicolás Maduro, by promoting ignorance of legitimate institutions and democratic institutions of the Venezuelan State.

In recent days, spokesmen for the US government have unleashed a series of hostile actions based on false assumptions that seek to manipulate the truth, with the purpose of breaking Venezuela’s institutional stability and peace. Not satisfied with pretending to grant selective validity to the institutions of the Venezuelan Public Power, it also resorts to the tutelage of subordinated governments of the region and orders them to deepen their siege and blockade against the Venezuelan people.

This behavior that violates international law is not new at all. Declassified documents, testimonies of officials and journalistic investigations, have shown how, since 2002, the US administrations have dedicated themselves to promoting, supporting and financing violent actions outside the Constitution and Venezuelan laws, in order to generate a change of government by force, which would allow them to regain control over the energy and mineral resources that belong exclusively to the people of Venezuela and thus truncate the march of the Bolivarian Revolution.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its repudiation and reiterates its denunciation of this new phase of the interventionist plan and complies with reminding the ruling supremacist elite in the United States that there is no valid imperialist action, given the libertarian will of the sovereign and independent Venezuelan people .
