PCV denounces British court ruling that endorses the theft of Venezuelan gold by Guaidó

In a statement issued on June 29th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) stresses out:

„The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) expresses its energetic repudiation of the recent judgment of the High Court of London in favor of the administration of the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) illegitimately appointed by Juan Guaidó with regard to the custody of the gold property of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, deposited in the Bank of England.

The British justice system takes a step further in the violation of international law and the usurpation in the administration of economic resources owned by the Venezuelan nation, employing the unlawful pretext of recognizing false government authorities other than those resulting from the election processes established by the Venezuelan Constitution and laws.

 
From the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) we reiterate our condemnation of the unilateral coercive measures applied against Venezuela by U.S. imperialism and its European allies, within the framework of the fierce international and national dispute for the control of oil revenues.

The Venezuelan people, fundamentally the working class and the popular strata, are the ones who suffer the direct consequences of these aggressions, since the Government is trying to manage the crisis in order to protect the interests of the capitalist groups from the negative impacts of these illegal sanctions.

We demand the immediate lifting of the unilateral coercive measures maintained against the country, and we insist for legal action against Juan Guaidó and all those who have been in charge of stimulating these illegal actions against the Venezuelan people.

We call on the Government and the Venezuelan State so that instead of directing the repressive apparatus of the public force and the justice system to intimidate and criminalize the legitimate struggles of the working class for their right to a fair wage, they direct their energies in bringing justice and prosecuting those responsible for stimulating sanctions and the usurpation of wealth owned by the Republic.

Enough of impunity! Jail for the corrupt and traitors to the Homeland!“
