The Government of Venezuela rejected the “unusual” decision of the High Court of London in favor of the opponent Juan Guaidó on the gold deposited in England and called on the British Government to “rectify” and “not continue with this antics of pretending” that the antichavista is president of the country, said the executive vice president, Delcy Rodríguez.
“I call on the British Government, they have the opportunity to correct, (…) to resume a correct course attached to public international law (…) in relation to Venezuela, they have to rectify and this is the opportunity, it is the message that we give to the British Government not to continue with this antics of pretending that Juan Guaidó is president of a country “said Delcy Rodríguez, Vice President of Venezuela.
Judge Sara Cockerill, of the Commercial division of the British court, has considered, following a four-day trial that ended on July 18, that she cannot accept the sentences of the Venezuelan Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) that annulled the appointments of Guaidó to that board, as there is no legal basis in the United Kingdom to do so.
Rodríguez, through a telephone contact with the state channel VTVdenounced that all this “created fiction”, according to which Guaidó is president of the oil country, “it has been to dispossess Venezuela and the Venezuelan people of their heritage.”
“Politically, in Venezuela there will be justice, (…) here there will be justice for this criminal, extremist, fascist group, which has taken on the task of stealing the assets of the Venezuelan people,” he assured.
Rodríguez indicated that this “damage that they have caused” to the country “is very great”, in the midst, he continued, of a “criminal blockade and all this strategy to steal the assets” of the nation abroad.
In this sense, he anticipated that President Nicolás Maduro “has in his hands convincing evidence that will be shown in the coming days,” although he did not offer more details regarding it.
On the other hand, he indicated that central banks of other countries, without specifying which ones, “have communicated” with the BCV to “know the details of how this dispossession is intended to be carried out” and “how it is intended to dispossess Venezuela of its international reserves. ”.
“Basic rules of the investment system have been violated. No one is going to want to invest in the UK (…) nobody is going to want to put the gold, their gold, in the Bank of England because they can simply steal it, protected by a court, according to what the British Crown decides to do with those assets, with that heritage”, said.
He argued that the decision of the British court “is really subject, subservient, muzzled to the decisions of the British Crown.”
