Caracas: The responses of the Venezuelan government to the threats from the United States (USA) marked the panorama of this nation in the week ending today, Prensa Latina publishes.
Days ago the president, Nicolás Maduro, warned that the northern nation and Colombia have been planning actions to assassinate him for a long time.
During his appearance in a television interview with the Minister of Culture, Ernesto Villegas, the president exposed some of the plans prepared in Washington and Bogotá to attack him and high officials of the Bolivarian Government, he warned that these threats are not a game and it is necessary be attentive.
For his part, the Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, described the government of Donald Trump as the main obstacle to world peace.
Arreaza spoke after the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, stated that Venezuela is negotiating the purchase of “deadly weapons from Iran”, for which the State Department could intensify sanctions against the Persian nation.
‘(…) The main threat to world peace is the United States: it dropped atomic bombs against the civilian population, used napalm in Vietnam, invaded Iraq based on lies, coordinates on the ground with terrorist groups, etc. . More than a century promoting wars and death, “wrote the head of Venezuelan diplomacy on Twitter.
Following Pompeo’s statements, Maduro affirmed that they will study the possibility of buying missiles and weapons from Iran and instructed Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino to evaluate Iranian short, medium and long-range missiles, to reinforce air and ground defense systems. .
Similarly, during the course of this week, the Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, denounced that the White House uses accusations of alleged drug trafficking actions as a pretext to justify an invasion against the South American nation.
‘To initiate a military attack, Donald Trump’s war apparatus needs to present Venezuela as a drug trafficking center that threatens continental security. Repeat the script of the invasion of Panama in 1989. The propaganda machine is activated to erase the historical reality, “said the diplomat.
Moncada warned about the attempts to link the Venezuelan State with drug trafficking and particularly with the Cartel de los Soles, as a result of the seizure of a drug shipment made in the Caribbean Sea by the North American coast guard.
‘It is the lie in the service of war. The media is an accomplice in a crime against humanity. Let’s understand how they operate! ‘
Faced with such a situation, the operational strategic commander of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Ceofanb), Remigio Ceballos, reiterated that these forces will defend the country in case of any attack or invasion.
