CARACAS, Aug 20 (NNN-Xinhua) — The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) on Friday condemned recent “terrorist attacks” against two Venezuelan facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement issued in Caracas, the bloc’s Secretary General Sacha Llorenti strongly denounced the attacks on a gas pipeline managed by Venezuela’s state-owned oil company PDVSA in eastern Venezuela, as well as a fire at a medicine warehouse in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We denounce and reject these terrorist actions that threaten the peace, stability and security of the Venezuelan people,” said Llorenti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The regional integration bloc also reaffirmed its “solidarity and support” for the Venezuelan people and government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venezuelan Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami condemned the July 16 attack on the pipeline as “part of the manual of sabotage perpetrated by the enemies of peace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said the fire at a Social Security Institute warehouse “was not an accident” but a “deliberate” act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded in 2004, the ALBA-TCP bloc currently groups 10 countries, with the aim of reducing Latin America’s reliance on Western aid by promoting intra-regional alliances and cooperation in key sectors such as energy and trade.\u00a0— NNN-XINHUA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
