The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, accused the United States and Europe of opting for “economic suicide” in order to punish Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine.
“In Europe they are announcing an economic recession, because Europe and the United States have opted for economic suicide, trying to kill Russia,” said the minister, during a public act broadcast on Venezuelan state television.
Maduro predicted that “a great global recession is coming” at a time when Venezuela “breaks the world record for economic growth in the real economy, not oil,” which he said was more than 20% in the current quarter.
“We have to study the repercussions of the global recession on the economy of Latin America and Venezuela,” he stressed.
“Europe and the United States have decreed the economic and social suicide of their societies, of their economies, to harm, to finish off Russia,” said the Venezuelan president.
Maduro stressed that even “because of a Russophobic obsession, they prefer the energy crisis, the blackouts, the economic crisis, uncontrolled inflation than negotiating peace with Russia, giving ‘guarantees’ to Russia” to reach “a peace agreement, of harmony “. .
Maduro stressed that for this reason, in a “letter to humanity” recently sent to the UN, he joined the initiative launched by the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, to create an International Committee for Dialogue and Peace, within of the United Nations Security Council, to seek “a fair peace negotiation between Russia and Ukraine and for all humanity”.
“We must reactivate the mechanisms of diplomacy, dialogue, politics with a capital C and not allow the conflict to continue escalating from the military to the economic, from the economic to the social, from the social to the political, from the political to the military, and one day we will be involved in a great world war of a nuclear nature,” he explained.
The president of Venezuela exclaimed “Holy God! Don’t let this happen! Don’t let this happen!”
“Humanity cries out for peace, understanding, dialogue and diplomacy, and we, from Venezuela, as warriors that we are, cry out for dialogue, diplomacy and peace. Simple as that,” he said.
