The Venezuelan government rejected Monday the decision of the European Union (EU) to extend until May 14, 2024 the unilateral coercive measures against the Venezuelan people.

“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects the arrogant and unlawful decision of the European Union by means of which it extends until May 14, 2024, the illegal Unilateral Coercive Measures against the Venezuelan people, published today November 13, 2023,” the statement said.

Likewise, the communiqué refers that with this decision, the European Union reflects before the International Community the continuity of its policy of interference in the internal affairs of the nation.

By pointing out that these measures are degrading, harmful and unjust, the Government affirmed that they seek to punish Venezuelan citizens.

Meanwhile, it recalled the content of the United Nations Resolution approved last November 7, which states that the coercive measures are contrary to international law.

Likewise, he insists that such sanctions also contradict the norms and principles that govern peaceful relations between States.

“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reaffirms the solidity of its democracy and its institutions and will continue to demand the definitive cessation of such measures, whose consequences and negative impact affect the possibility of a constructive and respectful dialogue between States”, the text specifies.

Likewise, the Venezuelan Government urges the European Union to “avoid colonialist practices with Sovereign States such as Venezuela and instead create positive spaces for cooperation to effectively face common challenges and challenges”.

Brazil’s Bolsonaro Returns to Prison After Supreme Court Denies House Arrest

Brazil: Court bans Bolsonaro from running in elections until 2030

Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro left a hospital in Brasília on Thursday after spending more than a week admitted and returned to prison, after the Supreme Court denied his request for house arrest, an AFP journalist reported.

Bolsonaro, 70, departed the DF Star Hospital under a police motorcycle escort and was transferred back to a small room at a police facility, where he is serving a 27-year sentence for attempting to stage a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The nine-day hospitalization marked Bolsonaro’s first time outside custody since his imprisonment. His legal team had requested house arrest on health grounds following surgery last week for an inguinal hernia, arguing there was a “concrete risk of sudden deterioration” in his condition. He was also treated for recurring bouts of hiccups.

However, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes rejected the request, stating that, contrary to the defense’s claims, there had been no worsening of Bolsonaro’s health condition. The former right-wing leader was admitted to the hospital on December 24 and underwent surgery the following day.
