The group’s president, Pedro Infante, explained on Wednesday during a working session that the commission will prepare a file with evidence and arguments organized chronologically with the sanctions promoted by the United States government against Venezuela, especially those imposed by the administration of Donald Trump (2017-2021), who confessed his crimes against Venezuela in a public speech.

Trump declared on June 11th, 2023, during an act in North Carolina, that when he finished his term, Venezuela “was about to collapse.” “We would have seized it and we would have gotten all that oil. But now we buy it from Venezuela, making a dictator rich,” he said.

Trump’s statements generated the repudiation of the Venezuelan authorities, the United Socialist Party and the people in general, who considered these statements his true intentions regarding Venezuela.

The commission will evaluate whether or not to propose legal action against Trump before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity and is studying the possibility of taking the case to the United Nations and the parliaments of the world.

Infante also announced that a list of citizens and organizations responsible for violating the national legal system will be presented as well.

The official denounced that the Constitution, the Penal Code, the Organic Law of Asset Forfeiture, the Law for the Protection of Assets, Rights and Interests of the Republic and its Entities Abroad, the Organic Law Against Organized Crime and Financing of Terrorism, and other regulations, were violated by natural and legal persons, so they must show their faces and they will be punished for treason and other crimes in accordance with the Constitution and the Penal Code.
