Caracas — The National Electoral Council (CNE) will certify the signatures gathered against interventionist decree of the United States government, calling Venezuela “an unusual and extraordinary threat” to the security and foreign policy of the United States. Such decree violates free determination of peoples, and that the principles of justice and international law, established in the Charter of the United Nations.
The signatures will support the document demanding the repeal of the interfering decree, which will be delivered by the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to his US counterpart Barack Obama during the Summit of the Americas, to be held on 10-11 April in Panama.
“We’re going to ask the Electoral Branch to certify the signatures,” Jorge Rodriguez said in an interview with Telesur. Rodriguez heads of the petition campaign.
Venezuela is not a threat, we are hope, Jorge Rodriguez insists.
So far more than 6,200,000 signatures have been collected in Venezuela, which are added to those that peoples of the world have stamped against the imperial decree.
The audit and certification of signatures –he stressed– is a requirement of the Venezuelan president to ensure that there is “no doubtful situation.”
“We’re going to attend (the Summit of the Americas) because it is the will of the people of Venezuela, it is the will of the peoples of the world who love freedom,” Rodriguez said, stressing that desire for peace, stability, sovereignty and self-determination is also reflected on social networks such as Twitter.
In that regard, he stressed that an hour after the launch of the fourth global mass-Tweet Campaign against the meddling decree, the Tweet Campaign was among the top trends on Twitter worldwide. In Venezuela, the Campaign ranks first.
Since the beginning of the Campaign on March 18, over 4,600,000 messages have been tweeted with the label #ObamaDerogaElDecretoYa (ObamaRepealTheExecutiveDecree).
They are messages of peace and, at the same time, messages of utmost firmness,” stressed the chief of Campaign.
Rodriguez reported that an activity will be held in Venezuela before the signatures are presented at the Summit of the Americas.
It is not the first time the United States has attacked in such way the countries that are on its target list, whose results have been countless cases of violation of human rights: 72 countries around the world have been invaded by the United States, who has several decades pursuing a policy of interference in the internal politics of 19 foreign countries, with the sole purpose of destabilizing and punish governments that are not compliant to US wishes or where there are natural resources of interest to the American nation.
He recalled that among the countries of the continent that have been intervened by the Unites States are Mexico (1836, 1846, 1913, 1914, 1918, 1923, resulting in the seizure of two thirds of its territory); Nicaragua (1856, 1857, 1894, 1899, 1907, 1910, 1912, 1933, 1981, 1990); Chile (1891 and 1973, that year General Augusto Pinochet headed a coup d’etat against the government); Panama (1895, 1901, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1958, 1964 and 1989); among others.
