Through her Telegram account, the vice-president said that “media company Reuters is lying about and joining a campaign” against the Bolivarian Republic.

She denounced that the “journalist who signed such a paid fallacy, quoting justice fugitive Rafael Ramírez, is tampering with the true data”.

Rodriguez clarified that Venezuela’s oil exports “registered a growth of 8,78% in the month of March”.

Venezuela demands rectification and a halt to hoaxes against its energy industry, she demanded.

“Nothing and no one will take us off our road to recovery!” she expressed.

In the publication accompanying the message, Reuters headlined: “Venezuela’s oil exports fell 11,5% in March: documents, data”.

Last Friday, President Nicolás Maduro revealed that the national oil production reached one million 80 thousand barrels per day, adding that “we are going for one million 100 thousand with our own efforts, while guaranteeing production”.
