Venezuela has the capacity to grow even under the worst conditions, said Jesús Fária, the president of the Standing Committee on Economy, Finance and National Development, member of the National Assembly (AN), said this Wednesday, March 12.

In the Primera Página program, broadcast by Globovision, he emphasized that “we have demonstrated that under the worst conditions, the economy is capable of growth. The economy and oil production began to grow before Chevron arrived, within the framework of licenses granted by the imperial government of the United States and we are ready again.”

In that regard, he pointed out that despite the fact that Venezuela presents complex situations, nothing “can stop the country. That the conditions will be more complex and more difficult? Well, without a doubt, is that this will cause any immediate effect? Of course they can, but they can't stop the country anymore.”

Faria ratified that these sanctions are intended to interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela, as well as to overthrow the Bolivarian Government.

“We have to reiterate our complaint in relation to this situation, a historic demand that these imperial sanctions are absolutely immoral because they affect nations, not only Venezuela, but anyone who applies them and whose purpose is to interfere in the internal affairs of our country,” he said.

He pointed out that “in our case, to generate maximum pressure, as they themselves have stated, to overthrow a government that has been elected by the Venezuelan people, that is absolutely unacceptable and unacceptable and outside international law.”

The deputy stated that the United States, due to its interventionist policy, tries to place puppet governments, based on its interests, and sanctions are one way of doing so. “The United States and each of those governments, with their imperialist zeal and their interventionist policy, are trying to place puppet governments according to their interests and is in a way of doing so,” he added.

“This thing about sanctions and licenses is something out of the times, we're talking about colonies, the colonial system disintegrated in the middle of the 20th century and we stopped being a colony 200 years ago,” he said.

He added that this measure was “the third turn taken by the Donald Trump administration, in a week saying that it was going to eliminate sanctions, not even sanctions but special cases such as Chevron. But then establishing it again, the sanction as such.”

Faria also pointed out that the intention of these measures is to affect Venezuela and the flow of foreign exchange.

“Well, that's the purpose, to affect Venezuela, to affect the flow of foreign exchange. Of course this is an oil economy and if you can't sell it freely either, that's going to affect foreign exchange flow and tax revenue, that's the purpose,” he said.
