In November 23 operations worth US$39 million for the purchase of food abroad were blocked by US sanctions


The Executive Secretary of the National Council of Human Rights, Larry Devoe, said Monday that the financial blockade imposed by the United States against Venezuela "is still directly affecting international payments, which Venezuela usually makes to obtain goods and services".

"For example, in November of 2017, 23 operations in the international financial system valued at US$39 million for the purchase of food and basic supplies by Venezuela were blocked", explained the Attorney.

Devoe, has asked for the financial and economic persecution affecting the Venezuelan people to cease. "The main obstacle for Venezuela is the sanctions. This issue cannot continue to be ignored if you really want to contribute to the solution of the crisis in our country", he concluded.
