Kiev/ Ikraine in Arabic/ So Maduro has responded to put Obama on the eve of sanctions against seven officials in the Venezuelan government. Washington explains that such measures are necessary because in a Latin American country violates human rights, persecuted political opponents of the regime, does not follow the principles of freedom of speech and Assembly, and against the protesters force is applied.

“Today, President Barack Obama has taken the most aggressive, unfair and malicious step out of all that were ever taken by the United States against Venezuela, the land of Bolivar,” said President Barack Obama in address to the nation.

Obama announced the introduction of a state of emergency in relation to Venezuela to ensure that sanctions could be enforced through presidential decrees without changes in legislation.

Maduro also said that the introduction of sanctions “imperialist threat”, and the path chosen by the President of the United States, is “hopeless”, “by failure”.

At the same time, as pointed out by observers, sanctions are not intended to affect the energy sector of the Venezuelan economy, which is already experiencing huge problems because of cheap oil.
