  • Several members of Ecuador's Assembly rejected a US law that would sanction countries in the hemisphere while they debate a resolution plan of solidarity with Venezuela.



    Monday, representatives of the Asamblea Nacional (Parliament) of Ecuador raised their voices against the interjection of the United States in the continent and rejected the sanctions that the northern hemisphere country had imposed arbitrarily against Venezuela.

    During the 308th plenary session of the Parliament, that was held this monday, the representatives discussed the Plan of Resolution of solidarity before the sanctions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

    With this action, the assembly of PAIS Alliance responded to the opposition legislators defending the law of no intervention from the West, after the words of the legislator Luis Fernando Torres, who suggested to the government bench to read and interpret the law of sanctions from the United States.

    "In Latin America we do not have to think in English and we do not have to receive explinations of the translation of the North American laws of those legislators," said Diego Vintimilla of the PAIS Alliance.

    "It is one thing to penalize an accused in international instances and it is another thing to use those human rights to penalize a country like Venezuela," announced the assemblyman.
