Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez rejected statements made by ExxonMobil President Alistair Routledge regarding Guyana’s alignment with the United States on security matters.
“Venezuela rejects the threatening statements of ExxonMobil’s president, Alistair Routledge. This energy multinational not only usurps Guyana’s sovereignty but also influences the highest authorities of that country, encourages the illegitimate route of the International Court of Justice to the detriment of the Geneva Agreement,” she said.
“It also seeks to shelter its illicit operations in a sea pending delimitation, under the warlike mantle of the United States in complicity with Guyana,” Rodriguez asserted.
“Venezuela will not rest in defending the Essequibo and will assert its rights under all circumstances,” she added, warning that the multinational company’s aspirations violate international law and the Argyle Agreements reached in St. Vincent & the Grenadines.

Parliament rejects European Union resolution
The National Assembly (NA) repudiated on Thursday the resolution of the European Parliament, issued on Wednesday, on the presidential elections to be held in Venezuela this year, as established by the Constitution.
Specifically, the European Parliament affirmed that it will not recognize “the elections or the electoral results” of this year in Venezuela without the presence of the right-wing María Corina Machado, who is disqualified for a 15-year term.
The text of the non-binding resolution also stated that the European Union “should not consider sending any electoral observation mission to Venezuela” if certain conditions are not met.
This refusal should be maintained “until María Corina Machado is allowed to participate in the elections”.
In view of this situation, through a communiqué -issued by the president of the NA, Jorge Rodríguez-, the National Assembly qualified the decision of the European Parliament as “a gross interference in our internal affairs and disrespect to what is enshrined in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela”.
The Venezuelan parliament assured that this action represents a new escalation of aggression against the peace and political stability of the country, “pretending to revive the supremacist and colonialist character, decayed and diminished in Europe and the world”.
