Maduro asks Colombia to unite the two armies

The leader of the Chavista regime put the union between the two countries on the table, so that “no one dares touch their sovereignty” and “apply Bolivar’s dictum of permanent union and shared happiness.”

In his opinion “The greatest guarantee of peace and stability is unity. It is for this reason that I am launching today a Gran-Colombian appeal to the Colombian people, to their social movements, to their political forces and to their military. “I call on you for a perfect union with Venezuela so that no one seeks to touch the sovereignty of our countries and to exercise the rule of Bolivar, that of permanent union,” he said.

Maduro maintains that despite all the damage that North American imperialism is trying to wreak against the homeland of Bolivar and Chávez, Venezuela “becomes a blessing of life and an unwavering will to fight for our society.”

Complaint to the UN

Foreign Minister Yván Gil issued a statement Thursday evening and wrote on his Telegram account that the government of Venezuela requested an urgent meeting before the United Nations (UN) Security Council due to military threats from the United States.

“Venezuela has denounced before the UN Security Council an open and criminal aggression by American imperialism, which threatens our country with the colonial intention of appropriating the oil and resources that belong to the Venezuelan people; “These actions blatantly violate the United Nations Charter, constitute a crime of aggression and seek to forcibly subjugate a sovereign nation that will never surrender,” Gil said.

He also stated that the United States “he does not hide his ambition” to appropriate Venezuelan oilHowever, he assured that Venezuela is united “and standing, defending its independence, its dignity and its inalienable right to decide its own destiny, with the truth, historical reason and the resistance of a people who will continue to advance in perpetual victory.”

For these reasons, he noted that “we have requested an urgent meeting of the Security Council to restore international law and uphold the Charter of the United Nations.”

Oil

Delcy Rodríguez, for her part, said that the oil industry maintains its crude oil export operations. “Normally”.

According to a statement released by Rodríguez, “tankers linked to PDVSA operations continue to sail with full insurance, technical support and operational guarantees.” The tankers are escorted by Venezuelan planes.

He also mentioned the threat made this Tuesday evening by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, in which he ordered “total blockade of sanctioned ships” who enter and leave Venezuela.

In addition, he recalled that the Venezuelan oil industry has been subjected to unilateral coercive measures, sabotage and cyberattacks, but that these have not “succeeded in shaking the operational capacity or determination of PDVSA personnel, who enjoy the unitary and total support of the Venezuelan people.”

Venezuela ratifies to the international community “its commitment to the defense of the energy sovereignty of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the respect of its legitimate commercial commitments and the protection of its maritime operations, always acting in accordance with the Constitution.”

The Supreme Court

On the other hand, the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) of Venezuela also issued an official statement on Wednesday on behalf of the judiciary, in which it expresses its strongest rejection of the recent statements and threats made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

The highest court called the US government’s position ‘reckless and serious’ on December 16, denouncing the attempt to claim ownership of Venezuela’s oil, land and mineral wealth. Likewise, the TSJ warned against the intention to impose a naval military blockade, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the National Constitution and international law.
