The Minister of People's Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, on behalf of the Bolivarian Government, read an official statement this Thursday rejecting the United States' non-compliance with the pre-electoral agreements established on September 28 in Doha, Qatar.

Below is the full text of the statement: 

 The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela once again rejects the claim of the Government of the United States of America to monitor, protect, control and manipulate the Venezuelan oil industry through its illegal policy of imposing coercive measures and licenses, practices consistent with a colonialist vision that the free and sovereign people of Venezuela will never recognize and accept.

Yesterday, the Government of the United States consummated its policy of violating the commitments made under the facilitation of the State of Qatar, signed between Undersecretary of State Brian Nichols and the President of the National Assembly Jorge Rodríguez, on September 28 in Doha, which involved the complete elimination of illegal Unilateral Coercive Measures at the time of the convening of the constitutional presidential elections of 2024.

The United States is not hurting an independent Venezuela that has learned to overcome its aggressions, on the contrary, it hurts any attempt to normalize bilateral relations, to the international energy market that is seriously affected today by Washington's warmongering impulses, and above all, it hurts its own investments and interests in the Venezuelan oil industry.

By mere electoral calculations, once again the United States breaks its word and tries in vain, with economic pressure and violence from the minority political sectors of the extreme right that receive its support, to harm the Venezuelan electoral process on July 28.

200 years ago, men and women gave their lives to forge an independent homeland and for this reason, the future, prosperity and happiness of Venezuela depend solely on the collective efforts of its people and government.

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, on behalf of the workers, the business sector and all the living and productive forces of the nation, rejects imperialist aggression and reminds the entire world that with or without licenses, with or without illegal coercive measures, it is determined to be a free nation, which no force can stop while building its future of peace and prosperity.
