Venezuela’s deposed Deputy, María Corina Machado, described as “unacceptable” and an act of “high treason” the silence of the Venezuelan Government at the statements issued by Guyanese Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud, who referred to the presence of Venezuelan navy officers at the Essequibo region as “encroachment.”
The Venezuelan Opposition Leader noted that proposing a committee for Maritime Delimitation at the Venezuelan Atlantic front was an act of high treason, considering that the Essequibo is in dispute. “Guyana intends to separate the territorial dispute from the delimitation of water and sub-water areas. This new move adds to a claim for an extension of the continental platform filed with the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf of the United Nations (UN), both of which threaten Venezuela’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Machado remarked in a press release.
On Wednesday, July 16, Robert Persaud stated that the presence of Venezuelan officers at the Essequibo meant delays in oil exploration and production at Stabroek and Pomeroon blocks. The senior official explained that the situation has precluded authorities from granting environmental permits to Esso, although operations continue.
Stabroek and Pomeroon were adjudicated by Guyana in 1899, “in breach of Section Five of the Geneva Convention, and ignoring the legitimate rights of Venezuela concerning the Atlantic front,” Machado underlined. (El Universal)
