Statement from the Organization of Politically Persecuted Venezuelans in Exile (Veppex) Regarding the Revocation of Oil Agreements Between the United States and Venezuela
The Organization of Politically Persecuted Venezuelans in Exile (Veppex) expresses its deep satisfaction with the decision made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, regarding the oil agreements that had been signed with Venezuela.
President Trump states, among other things, that Nicolás Maduro has not kept his word regarding the migration issue and internal electoral transparency. This should be a reminder that any negotiation involving the Miraflores Palace does not represent a real commitment, as their criminal nature makes them completely untrustworthy.
Furthermore, at Veppex, we welcome this new policy toward the Venezuelan tyranny, which aligns with the first administration of the President and aims to stop financing that bloody regime responsible for multiple human rights violations and indirect interference in other countries. As Trump emphasizes in his statement, criminals were sent by Nicolás Maduro’s own regime.
Finally, based on the President’s statements, we once again demand that the revocation of TPS for Venezuelans be reconsidered and that only those who have committed crimes or have direct ties to the regime be located and deported.
José Antonio Colina
President of Veppex
In God We Trust.
