00:00The Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a communique on Tuesday,
00:04categorically rejecting the approval by the United States House of Representatives of a
00:08bill that complements existing sanctions by prohibiting the US from contracting with any
00:14person that has business operations with the Venezuelan Bolivarian government.
00:19The official statement denounces that the bill, in a shameless manner, has been given the acronym
00:25of Bolívar in an offense against the greatest genius of the American history, who dedicated
00:30his life to defeat imperialism and colonialism, anti-values contained in this new criminal attack.
00:37The foreign ministry communique follows by stating,
00:40This instrument seeks to impede the relationship and economic cooperation between Venezuela and
00:45the United States in different fields of action, in clear violation of the United Nations Charter,
00:51requested by the fascist right wing of the family surnames, adding to the more than 930 unilateral
00:58and extraterritorial coercive measures against the Venezuelan people and the US business system
01:03itself. The statement also stresses that this new onslaught will be assured of failure,
01:10like all the ridiculous adventures to which they have subjected the US government,
01:14including the outlandish support for Juan Guaidó in 2019.
01:19To close, the Venezuelan Authority urges the United Nations bodies in charge of human rights,
01:24as well as the international community, especially the Latin American and Caribbean community,
01:29to condemn this illegal act and violation of national sovereignty, which will once again
01:35fail in its attempt to crush the Bolivarian people, who will continue defeating every aggression and
01:40giving lessons to the world of their gallantry to advance in the path of prosperity, built together
01:47with the revolutionary government.
01:57In the same context, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela, Iván Gil, responded on his
02:01social media telegram to the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, about the July 28th elections,
02:08where the people choose Nicolás Maduro as president of Venezuela and the government of the US doesn't
02:13want to recognize. He stated,
02:16the only place you don't come back from is ridiculed, goes the popular saying. However,
02:22Blinken, a confessed enemy of Venezuela, insists on doing it again, now with a Guaidó 2.0,
02:29supported by fascists and terrorists subordinated to the battered US policy. He also expressed,
02:35in the last days of his government, he should dedicate himself to reflecting on his failures,
02:41getting rid of the imperial and colonial complexes, and go write the memoirs
02:46of how the Bolivarian revolution made him bite the dust of defeat, just like his predecessors.
02:52Never fails the literary plan of yet another Secretary of State, who went down,
02:57along with his puppets, trying to reverse the Venezuelan democracy.
