The US and several other countries are trying to provoke a humanitarian disaster in Venezuela that could amount to an attempted genocide
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the US and the European Union refused to lift sanctions that blocked Caracas’ access to its own funds in foreign accounts. Venezuela was thus prevented from acquiring a vaccine against the deadly virus that has killed 1.84 million people worldwide.
“We demanded to be given the money to buy the vaccine through the World Health Organisation. They refused”, – the president of the Bolivarian Republic, Nicolas Maduro, said on Venezolana de Television.
He stressed that the money was actually stolen by the governments of the United States, Britain, Spain and Portugal.
“Vaccines are sold to those who can buy it. Those who don’t have the money are doomed to die”, – Maduro lamented. – “Vaccines should not be distributed under the rules of wild capitalism.”
