Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in India

“Friendship - Cooperation - Solidarity - Development”

VENEZUELA

Human Rights Defender, Social Development, Social Rights, Empowerment

Venezuela is the country with the LARGEST OIL RESERVE in the world and

has contributed to create the largest body of Sovereign and Economically

prosperous Latin American Countries ever, the Community of Latin America

and Caribbean States (CELAC).

It has a population of 30 million inhabitants and its Independence, 206 years

ago, signaled the start of the Independence movement of Latin America.

Venezuela at the top range in all of the social indicators recognized by the

United Nations, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the

Caribbean and other world renowned specialized agencies. In 18 years,

there have been many achievements that demonstrate progressive and

democratic development with utmost respect for human rights and

especially the right for every Venezuelan to express their political opinion,

where millions, before the Bolivarian Revolution, never had the chance.

In Venezuela the police and national guard do not carry lethal weapons and

the media is allowed to go and say whatever they want under an umbrella of

free speech. This booklet shows some of the most relevant facts that

corporate mass news agencies do not want to show you because it breaks

their "failed state" narrative and fake "dictatorship" agenda.

It is the wish of this Embassy that this small contribution can help Indian,

Asian and, hopefully, world public opinion to see the truth about Venezuela

and the democratic and constitutional government of President Maduro

many millions support in our country, its internationally recognized track of

highly improved social conditions in education, health, water access,

women's empowerment, nutrition, housing, impressive poverty reduction,

hunger elimination, minority rights, political participation, institutions for

equal rights for all, which undeniably makes the case for a stronger

democracy, well read and informed population, among the countries with

highest internet access, vibrant freedom of expression and freedom of

mass graves, extreme poverty, high mal nutrition, continuous countless

assassination of journalist and students, lack of basic workers rights,

discrimination of minorities, inexistence of public education, military

constitutions, States and governments penetrated by drug trafcking. Is

this not true? Are these social illnesses not present in some Latin-

American countries? So,the big question is, why do they pick on

Venezuela? Is it because of the OIL and other natural resources?

It was two months ago that the illegal paramilitary violence articially

staged to follow legal protests by opposition in Venezuela, with the

objective to create extreme violence, terror and death and blame the

government of Venezuela. This violence occurs after the opposition rallies

are over and is executed by well trained and well equipped paramilitary

forces that use all types of lethal weapon in criminal street destruction

such as burning of schools, hospitals, food transport units, food storage

buildings and other deadly operations such as targeting people with

home made bullets and burning them. (There are thousands of pictures

and videos taken by international corporate news agencies about this

violent crimes and terror that are never published because they represent

the evidence that the aggresition and dead people are caused by the

illegal and unconstitutional operations to overthrow a government)

The Venezuelan government has the constitutional duty to protect the lives

and rights of the millions of Venezuelans that do not want this violence, but

information (which anybody around the world can witness by simply clicking

any online Venezuelan TV channel, newspaper or webpage, or by going

there) and a strong State to defend national resources and territorial

integrity within the highest respect for human rights. All of this makes

Venezuela a country recognized by the United Nations as an exemplary

MODEL OF HUMAM RIGHTS DEVELOPMENT. All of these truths about

Venezuela, that they want to keep hiding, break down the fake information

and fabricated sanctions against our country, people and government.

Dialogue, peaceful resolution of conict, the need to respect Venezuela's

sovereignty and the prevalence of United Nations principle of Non

intervention in internal matters of other states, is the only basis for a

democratic and peaceful solution of political differences in Venezuela.

Every civilized and democratic government can only support this path and

not the systematic criminal violence instigated and promoted by violent

opposition with international funding, especially through the public budget

of the United States government.

It is the desire for CONTROL OF OIL RESOURCES and now, other strategic

metal compounds such as COLTAN and THORIUM, what is behind the

AGGRESSIONS and ATTACKS against Venezuelan, it's people and

government, presented in the form of staged "internal conict".

There are long-standing conicts and dramatic political and social horrors

in other Latin-American countries such as decades long internal conict,

been 29 ELECTORAL PROCESSES, more than ever before the Bolivarian

Revolution, and it is a clear demonstration of the democratic nature of

Venezuela.

Venezuela is Friendship, Cooperation, Solidarity and Development. That is

what we stand for and that is what we want to reiterate to all countries in the

international concert of Nations.

We want to offer oil as a way of cooperation as an alternative to oil as a tool for

domination. Let's work together for world stability, peace and prosperity. The

world will be a happier, more equal place if we work for the all the people of all

the countries.

Augusto Montiel

Ambassador

want to continue the democratic path of elections, it also has the duty to

protect public and private properties as well as the integrity of its institutions.

Any government around the world would do the same, especially the

governments of EEUU and Europe. Also, thousands of Venezuelans and the

government have been impacted by the campaign of social hatred and

discrimination against large sections of the Venezuelan society such as

people who want to send their children to school, work and support the

government.

The campaign of hatred reinforced by corporate news agencies and social

media must stop.

Venezuela's economy has also been sabotaged and affected by external

agencies and multinational companies in order to blame the government for

economic problems. We know just like in every other country that the economy

will pick up and conditions for economic growth will be there. Is that what

some international powers don't want?

It is for Venezuelans to solve their own political differences under the

international principles of non interference and non intervention.

There is an ELECTORAL PROCESS the 30th of July, the National Constituent

Assembly has been convened under legal and constitutional procedures and

on the 10th of December there are regional governors ELECTIONS
