This resolution on Venezuela insists on the manipulation and concealment of facts and on buttressing US’s interventionist strategy.

For more than two decades, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has been the target of US interference and aggression, examples of which are the orchestration of coups d'état, the creation of puppet 'institutions', the continuing campaign of disinformation or the imposition of a cruel economic blockade, aimed at affecting the rights and living conditions of the Venezuelan people.

This is the path that some political forces in this Parliament continue to insist on, already looking forward to interfering in the 2024 elections in Venezuela.

We recall that the European Parliament and the European Union are not exempt from the obligation to comply with the principles of International Law, such as respect for the sovereignty and independence of States, namely the right of the Venezuelan people to decide on their future, free from external interference.

We stand in solidarity with the determination of the Venezuelan people in defence of the right to decide on their path of development and social progress, in defence of the Bolivarian Revolution.
