The USA and Europe, like modern pirates, stole Venezuelan assets deposited in their banks to the amount of 238 million Euros. The USA and Canada insist that the 2018 re-election of Nicolás Maduro, monitored by numerous international observers including a number of Canadians, was fraudulent, despite all evidence to the contrary. Its sole purpose is to promote the ouster of President Maduro’s government. Canada has added to the US sanctions and set up the ad-hoc Lima Group, composed some of the most corrupt and violent governments of the region. The USA has ignored the appeal of the UN Secretary General, Antonio Gutierres and that of Pope Francis to cease economic sanctions during the pandemic. It is three times more costly for Venezuela to buy medical equipment because the financial and transportation barriers are great. In the midst of a world pandemic, impeding the purchase of medical supplies makes the blockade particularly cruel.
Between 20, it caused the deaths of 40,000 Venezuelans due to the lack of medicines. It contravenes the most fundamental international laws that preserve world peace. However the USA’s most lethal weapon against Venezuela has been the illegal economic blockade that has impeded the sale of its oil, the country’s main source of revenue, and prevented it from importing food and, most importantly, medicines. Canada has not expressed any sympathy or condemnation of this blatant terrorism. Eight invaders died and the combined forces of the military and citizenry have captured 91. The invasion ended in a clear debacle for Guaidó and the USA. Then in May 2020 there was a botched military invasion planned by Guaidó who signed an actual license–to-kill-contract with mercenaries and narcotraffic gangsters, led by two ex-US Green Berets. In April 2020 the USA implemented a naval blockade with the Southern Command fleet to harass ships on the Venezuelan coast under the unproven excuse of Venezuelan drug trade. 2019, an invasion from Colombia under the guise of a false “humanitarian” aid was thwarted. The USA, Canada and other allies immediately recognized him as such on the false pretext that the election of President Maduro was invalid. In January 2019, the USA promoted an “alternative” president for the country in the figure of an obscure National Assembly deputy, Juan Guiadó, trained by the CIA, who “declared” himself president.
It is no covert operation because top USA officials have openly stated they wish to depose President Maduro, even with military intervention, as if they had a right to do so. It has carried out street violence, sabotage, targeted assassinations, coups attempts, the failed assassination attempt by drones of President Maduro and a devastating cyber attack that left the country entirely without electricity for 5 days.
It is impossible to analyze the Venezuelan situation without taking into account the illegal economic unilateral coercive measures – ill named sanctions- that constitute an economic war that the USA, Canada and European allies have imposed on the country since 2014.įor 21 years the USA has backed the opposition led by the extremist right wing elite that had previously ruled Venezuela. How have these positive statistics come about when for years the mainstream media, USA, Canada and other allies and have been heralding the imminent collapse of the country? A “humanitarian” crisis and dysfunctional government have been continuously announced supposedly due to the “socialist” policies of vilified President Nicolás Maduro. Venezuela has the lowest percentage of confirmed coronavirus deaths per population in the region (0.4%) and the highest ratio of testing, 31,561 tests per million people, more than any other country in the region. As of May 27 th 2020, in Venezuela, there have been 1,245 coronavirus cases (44 cases per million inhabitants) and only 11 deaths.
