Maduro warns people who ask for «aggressions» against the nation that justice will come to them «

Nicolás Maduro said Wednesday that «there is no threat in the world that intimidates» the country, and warned people who ask for «aggressions» against the nation that justice will come to them. «

In an act in Caracas transmitted by the Venezuelan state television channel (VTV), the leader of Chavismo said that no «threat» can intimidate «the will of the people of Venezuela to move towards their independence, towards their freedom and towards their maximum happiness.»

«That nobody is wrong with Venezuela, nobody, nobody is wrong with Venezuela, and the fascists who ask for aggressions against our country justice will come to them. (…) Venezuela is not attacking, Venezuela is not touched, Venezuela is respected, ”said Maduro.

This Wednesday, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced the end, as of March 1, of the licenses for the export of crude oil of the Caribbean country that were issued by their predecessor, Joe Biden, and that benefited the oil company Chevron, a measure that, according to Caracas, will cause «damage» to the American nation, to its population and companies.

Maduro, who did not mention this decision of Trump, said that Venezuela has recovered thanks to a «great effort.»

In addition, he said that «the economic recovery and the construction of a new model do not depend on anyone in this world», but, he added, on the citizens of the Caribbean country, which has taken their «own path.»

Chevron’s departure is an economic setback for Venezuela, since the American company had contributed to the reactivation of the oil production of the South American nation, which in January of this year first exceeded one million barrels per day (BPD) since June 2019.

Experts also foresee that the cessation of transnational operations affects the entry of foreign exchange of the oil nation, used, to a large extent, to contain the price of the dollar and inflation, since the vast majority of the goods – and some services – are quoted based on the US currency.

Trump, who said that «concessions that the corrupt Joe Biden granted to Nicolás Maduro» are reversed, criticized the Venezuelan «regime» for not having accelerated the deportation of the «violent criminals» that, according to him, Caracas sent to the US and that they should have been repatriated «at a fast pace.»

The Chavista administration «categorically» rejected this measure, which described as «harmful and inexplicable,» and said that Venezuela «will follow its path of integral economic recovery» with «the creative effort of all.»
