Venezuela rejects Ali’s interference on Essequibo dispute

Caracas, Oct 25 (Prensa Latina) Venezuelan Government strongly rejected on Wednesday Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali’s statement as the latter interfered in affairs of only absolute competence of Venezuelans.

Ali addressed in a meeting with political parties the consultative referendum called by the National Assembly-Parliament, to be held on December 3, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The press release reaffirmed the consecutive refusal of Ali to attend the dialogues called by Venezuela’s Government to sort out the territorial dispute of the Essequibo abided by the 1966 Geneva Agreement.

Likewise, Guyanese top authority persists in “his illegal, abusive and arbitrary behaviour” of counting on the sea, which is pending to be delimited, behaviour that threatens regional stability, nurtured by Guyana’s stubborn association with the interests of the US Southern Command, the press release referred.

The statement stated that the popular consultation in Venezuela responds to the full exercise of Bolivarian democracy, in compliance with the law and a view of guiding the actions of all organs of the Public Power in order to defend the principles enshrined in the Constitution and national laws.

Maduro’s Government urged again the Guyanese leadership for “setting aside of the interests of the Exxon Mobil Transnational and the U.S. Southern Command.

Venezuela’s head of State summoned Ali to sit down at the diplomatic negotiating table and comply with the obligations derived from the Geneva Agreement in order to reach “a practical and satisfactory solution for both sides.”
