Venezuela issued a statement this Thursday condemning the new unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States against the Government of Nicaragua. This was announced by the Chancellor of the Republic, Yván Gil, through his account on the social network X.
In the statement, Venezuela expresses that the sanctions seek to try to subdue a nation in its unwavering anti-imperialist struggle. It condemns the permanent campaign of the United States and its Western allies to “break the iron anti-imperialist and patriotic will of the Government of Nicaragua.”
The recent sanctions affect two mining companies that operate in that country and the Training Center of the Russian Ministry of the Interior, located in the city of Managua. As for the mining companies, they are Compañía Minera Internacional (COMINTSA) and Capital Mining Investment Nicaragua (Capital Mining), which were sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury ( OFAC ).
Below is the full text of the statement:
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its deepest rejection of the new aggressions perpetrated by the Government of the United States against the people and Government of Nicaragua, by imposing this day, unilateral coercive measures against two mining companies that operate in Nicaraguan territory, as well as against the Training Center of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation located in the city of Managua.
The Venezuelan Government denounces the permanent campaign of the United States and its Western allies, which seeks in every possible way to break the iron anti-imperialist and patriotic will of the Government of Nicaragua, which defends the sacred right of its people to advance in Peace and Stability in the noble construction of a better, more just and humanitarian present.
Venezuela urges the international community to condemn these retrograde and interfering actions that seek to harm the inalienable and sacred right to free economic activity and self-determination of the people, reiterating its message of solidarity and brotherhood with the heroic Sandinista people and their government.
