The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, through an official statement, categorically rejected its inclusion in the list of “high risk” countries published by the European Union.

The letter, which was published by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, specifies that “What does represent a real risk is the inability of the European Union itself to protect its interests, its economy and even its dignity”.

Below is the full text of the statement:

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects its inclusion in the ridiculous list of “high-risk” countries published by the European Union. What does represent a real risk is the European Union's own inability to protect its interests, its economy and even its dignity.

Today, an anachronistic bureaucracy, aged and disconnected from its people, intends to protect Venezuela, when it cannot even govern its own space coherently. They have banks laundering money in their own capitals, officials who look the other way, and tax havens that operate with total impunity within their borders or under their protection.

Venezuela, on the other hand, is a growing economy, with political stability and with institutions that respond to its people, not to financial interests or to current lobbies. We have faced blockades, sanctions, attempts at isolation, and here we are: stronger, firmer, and without double standards.

What bothers Europe's decrepit elite is not the risk, but the truth: that there are countries in the South that no longer bow their heads, that do not accept tutoring, and that are not willing to enter the lists of the obedient.

Caracas, June 10, 2025.
