The member states of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) rejected the unilateral, arbitrary and illegal coercive measures announced by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) against a new list of Venezuelan citizens.

In a statement released on November 28, they describe this interventionist action as evidence that the U.S. government is going through a serious phase of denial in the face of the unobjectionable democratic and popular victory of President Nicolás Maduro, on July 28, 2024.

“The multidimensional aggression against the Venezuelan people has included more than 950 unilateral coercive extortive measures since 2017, including those announced on November 27. However, Venezuelans have resisted every attack and have demonstrated their firm determination to defend the sovereignty and independence of the nation,” the statement said.

He recalled that in 2019, the then U.S. government followed an erratic, interventionist path outside of international law, which led to a resounding geopolitical defeat.

“Permanent imperialist aggressions against Venezuela have always been and will be reversed by the people of Simon Bolivar to strengthen their independence, dignity and self-determination,” he said.

The Bolivarian Alliance rejects this new wave of alleged arbitrary sanctions, demands respect for the sovereignty of the free peoples of Our America and the Caribbean and reaffirms all its solidarity with the Bolivarian people and Government of Venezuela.
