The response of 68 civilians opposing the lifting of sanctions against Venezuela by Joe Biden

Antonio Jose Ledesma Dias Venezuela did not give the regime any chance and before a letter was sent by 25 people to US President Joseph Robinet Biden, they demanded the lifting of sanctions. Issued a letter with 68 signaturesIn which he insists “The misfortunes experienced in Venezuela precede the imposition of sanctions, and therefore easing the pressure on tyranny is only guaranteed if it persists with those who pretend to resist it for years and settle for junk food. Tyrants come forward for their political survival”.

68 signatories based on concerns of a “compulsory duty” to the US presidentRisks faced by American companies, one of the most criminal regimes in human history: The Venezuelan dictatorship has been rooted in the Western Hemisphere for 23 years, collaborating with Russia, Cuba, Iran and drug traffickers and drug dealers. – Guerrilla groups”.

In response to calls for sanctions to be more flexible, Ledesma warned: “The coherent demands of some factors were aimed at turning American companies into subsidiaries to massacre hundreds of civilians, and they took to the streets demanding freedom and imprisoning more than 300 Venezuelans without trial.”.

The demand for Joe Biden was emphasized: “Do not allow the country that protects human rights in the world to become complicit in these crimes because there will be no effective description or adequate paid campaign that can obscure this reality. We encourage you not to succumb to pressure and not to succumb to it.”.

This is what he describes as obstacles.Is the most relevant and effective mechanism in the world today“, An example of how very different governments and companies come together”The genocide perpetrated by Vladimir Putin against the people of Ukraine must be severely punishedAnd how, thanks to those restrictions imposed on the Madurista regime, its funding capacity was low, preventing it from implementing its expansion plans.

Failed condition

68 The signatories insist, “In Venezuela, unlike in the United States, all are subject to the rule of law, as well as to countries that maintain monarchies, the true king is law.” We are not dependent on laws or the rule of law, but on the capricious mentality of the tyrants Hugo Chavez and now Nicolas Maduro.”.

They promise without hesitation. “We are no longer a state of law, but a drug-state, therefore, failed and illegal at the same time. The crisis is that there is no legal guarantee, no separation of powers, but an exemption from the blatant punishment that guarantees the mafias to continue to commit robberies, trafficking and murder. The urgent ‘permission’ to uplift the Venezuelan people was represented by Maduro and his allies in power.

What has the oil crisis got to do with sanctions? Hugo Chavez “laid off more than 22,000 PDVSA workers and technicians, broke up the Merchant Marine, and dismantled our refineries in the country and ours in Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. It has been exporting large quantities of crude oil to members of the Sao Paulo forum. That is why there is not enough petrol. ”

One of the key questions is whether food and drug imports are allowed due to sanctions.. “Another big lie. Manufacturers and traders are subject to a precarious environment in which they fall prey to the treacherous competition that facilitates governance by transforming the country into an independent port or free zone without limited trade and fiscal policies.”.

“The truth is that in 2000, Chavez arbitrarily imposed a land law that led to all sorts of attacks and expropriations of farmland, occupying millions of hectares, dairy farms, slaughterhouses, poultry, pigs and processing companies. Drug imports were never banned.

They insist “The indecent policies of price control and transaction control dismantled the country’s productive apparatus. The fall in GDP is brutal, more than 75%, current inflation is over 600%, wages are very poor, poverty includes more than 94% of the population, while more than 7 million Venezuelans are deported today. Not because of sanctions, but because of the theft of money earmarked for improving the electricity system, hospitals, waterways, communication lines, schools and universities, and the consequences of a protracted humanitarian tragedy.

They remember Pitana. “In serious American companies, fraudsters who were rich from food imports, over-invoicing and over-pricing are, in many cases, prosecuted for being perishable goods. Theft is huge, and it is estimated to have surpassed $ 600 billion”.

What do you demand?

There are signatories to Letesma’s letter Nine requests What they are doing to US President Joe Biden: first it “Personal sanctions against poachers of public property and those responsible for crimes against humanity in Venezuela are being maintained and deepened, especially as the EU encourages you against the massacre of Vladimir Putin against the Ukrainian people.”.

“Maintain a drug prevention fence. Maintain rewards for capturing drug lords who usurp public power in Venezuela. Investigations into the deportations of those responsible for extraordinary frauds such as Alex Chop continue. That support will be provided to the trial phase initiated by the International Criminal Court. Civil and military political prisoners must be released”.

And the last three requests: “Maintain and expand security for Venezuelan assets such as real estate, gold, finance capital and CIDCO. Investigate those involved in illegal bondage schemes based on Lyonine guidelines. With the support of the international community, which is committed to democratic principles and values, make sure that the credible threat of the removal of the institutions that hijack it is a reality that is unthinkable in holding truly free elections in Venezuela.”, They conclude.
