On Thursday, Jorge Rodriguez, the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, rejected the statements of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that conditioned the relief of unilateral sanctions on the political authorization of opposition politicians.
“We will never accept that anyone interferes in matters that only concern Venezuela,” he said, referring to the agreements reached between the administration of President Nicolas Maduro and the political opposition, which are related to the 2024 presidential elections.
“We are not going to accept interference of any kind. They are trying to impose actions that are not supported by the electoral political agreement,” Rodriguez said and warned that he could reveal details of the conversations with the opposition if necessary to dismantle any interventionist maneuver carried out from abroad.
“We cannot reveal some conversations unless we are forced to. If the lie persists, however, we will reveal details of the conversations we have had.” He said.

Partial Easing of US Sanctions Against Venezuela
Following the announcement on Wednesday of the temporary relief of sanctions imposed by the United States on the Venezuelan energy industry, President Nicolás Maduro said the country is entering the oil and gas market with renewed strength.
It has to do with the issuance of four general licenses to suspend certain sanctions imposed on selected sectors. This comes in response to the electoral roadmap agreed between the Venezuelan government and a sector of the opposition in Barbados.
“Venezuela, with these agreements and these decisions that have been taken, enters with strength again the oil and gas market in a progressive manner,” Maduro said in a speech.
The president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, who heads the Venezuelan delegation in the negotiations, informed that the licenses granted refer to activities of production and sale of oil and gas for and from Venezuela, to the mining sector, especially gold, to the trading of bonds, as well as to commercial licenses of Venezuelan companies in the U.S.
