Venezuelan Parliament investigates the theft of public funds

The president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, denounced the systematic robbery of the Venezuelan people by the radical Venezuelan opposition led by former deputies and ordered an investigation into the theft of Venezuela’s money in recent days: “In January 2021, this National Assembly set up a special commission to investigate the terrible crimes against the republic perpetrated by the boards of directors who have orchestrated all kinds of aggressions”, he said in his swearing-in speech after being re-elected.

For this, he ordered this Special Commission coordinated by Deputy José Brito to incorporate in seven days the crimes that were perpetrated two days ago by the also former deputy Juan Guaidó and his aides: “It is the biggest operation of theft, of embezzlement against the people of Venezuela, because it is at the expense of the people of Venezuela”, Rodriguez said.

The president of the National Assembly detailed that some 382 million dollars were stolen between 2020 and 2021, broken down into 366 million dollars for doctors and health personnel, 8 million dollars to the National Assembly and 23 million dollars for Security and Defence of Democracy and other uses. In total it was given $332 million, he said, of which $290 million was spent and $49 million remained in accounts deposited in the United States.

Bolivarian government rejects further US interference

Venezuela rejected on Wednesday the new US interference that aims to recognise authorities emanating from state bodies whose mandate expired more than a year ago and which have usurped the international representation of the country in some capitals.

In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry called this position an interventionist attempt by the United States to “recognise supposed authorities, in clear violation of international law, the Constitution and the democratic order” of the country.

According to the foreign ministry, “the State Department intends to legitimise with a communiqué the functioning of a transnational criminal group already infamous for its role in the theft and squandering of the resources of all Venezuelans”, in reference to authorities without a legal mandate.
