00:00Venezuela rejected the illegitimate action of the Argentinean federal judge Ariel Lijo
00:05against the government of Nicaragua in a lawfare operation to attack the legitimate and sovereign
00:10government.
00:11Through a communique, the Venezuelan government pointed out this ridiculous action, based
00:16on falsehoods of agents aligned to Western hegemonism and anti-Sandinista opposition
00:22sectors, shows Argentina's use of its judicial system as an instrument of intervention.
00:27Such aggression responds to a systematic strategy that seeks to undermine the sovereignty
00:32of independent states and justify the imposition of unilateral coercive measures in the name
00:38of alleged humanitarian rights.
00:41The text also highlighted the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects the use of universal
00:46jurisdiction for political purposes, a manoeuvre that violates the fundamental principles of
00:52sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of states, guaranteed by international
00:58law.
00:59Venezuela concluded the document by stating,
01:01We reiterate our unwavering solidarity with the people and government of Nicaragua, led
01:07by President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, in their struggle for the
01:11defence of sovereignty, social justice and self-determination of the peoples.
01:16We raise our voice together with the free nations of the world to reject any attempt
01:21of intervention disguised as legitimate.
