Venezuela is strongly prepared to confront any onslaught against the country by the United States Empire

Caracas, Feb 12 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela is strongly prepared to confront any onslaught against the country by the United States Empire, said chancellor Nicolas Maduro.

At the end of a coordination meeting with Argentine representative the Head of Foreign Affairs recalled that Venezuela is an independent and sovereign state that has been sighted in the crosshairs of "the powerful opponent and enemy clan governing the United States."

He added that the US government "has not given up nor will give up trying to destabilize our country and return us to the position of oil dependent colony."

Questioned about the new campaign against the country, this time by the transnational company Exxon Mobil, Maduro indicated that it is because in the past few years Venezuela has recovered its national interests.

He added that through nine years of battle of the Bolivarian government "we have formed a people who are conscientious and alert, are not intimidated and that never again will be intimidated."

"If some sector abroad intends to maintain a campaign against Venezuela, our truth will always shine through because we have a democratic country, free, on the road to social equality, building a higher society than we had before," he stressed.

Regarding reactions to the Exxon Mobil action he further added that we are in the presence of two worlds: "one of the treacherous opposition" and the ones who believe in dignity, sovereignty and independence, that will be maintained at all costs.

Maduro also noted the importance of the current process of economic independence that differs from the situation years ago when the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank forced their recipe on the new governments.
