“We are committed to speeding up the vaccination process despite the fact that vaccine production worldwide is slower than what the pandemic is demanding, as you already know,” said the top official.
The executive vice president sent a message to the Venezuelan people, urging that this is time for unity, to always keep up a good spirit and courage in the face of difficulties, within the framework of the 200 years of the Battle of Carabobo.
“Nothing is going to stop us, and here we go on,” expressed Rodríguez. “There is no extortion that can break the spirit of the Venezuelan people, there is no criminal blockade that can destroy us in our efforts to be independent, in our efforts to protect the health and lives of Venezuelans,” she stressed.
Para la compra de vacunas, Venezuela ha exigido la liberación de al menos 300 millones $ de los casi 6 mil millones $ bloqueados por la imposición de SANCIONES criminales. Ni EEUU, ni el Reino Unido han liberado 1$. A pesar de ellos, avanzamos por otras vías con nuestros aliados.
