Supreme Court criticizes US sanctions on Venezuela – News

Date:

Venezuela’s Supreme Court is labeling the US government’s decision to impose economic sanctions against 16 government officials and magistrates who validated the controversial re-election of Nicolás Maduro in the July 28 presidential election as “interference in internal affairs”.


In a note, the president of the court, Garislia Rodríguez, defined the “coercive, unilateral, illegal and illegal” measures as “a persistent practice that conflicts with universally accepted principles of international law.”


The magistrate denounced the US initiative as part of “systematic external threats that seek to weaken Venezuelan institutions and democracy in a new form of colonialism in the current global forms.”


Criticism of Washington’s decision also came from the National Electoral Council (Cne), which said the sanctions sought to “intimidate a group” of Venezuelan public officials – including Cne’s rector Rosalba Gil Pacheco and his secretary Antonio José Menez Rodríguez – were attracted. Size.
