Venezuela stands up for the justice on whom the US had offered reward

There is only so much left with Venezuela to get hold of and with the United States’s continuous interference in its affairs, the country is suffering even more. But this time the South American country has spoken up.

America had offered $ 5million bounty as a reward for information leading to the arrest of the head of Venezuela’s high court, accusing the judge of taking bribes. The US secretary of state has accused Maikel Moreno, a close political ally of socialist President Nicolás Maduro, of receiving bribes in over 20 criminal and civil court cases

In retaliation, Venezuela on Wednesday blasted a $5 million US reward offer for information leading to the arrest of the country's Supreme Court president. The foreign ministry in a statement said that the US "disrespects the Supreme Court of Justice, in the person of its president, Maikel Moreno, through false accusations and the offer of rewards in the style of the cowboys and the wild and far west."

The Supreme Court president has been in the blacklist of the treasury department since 2017.The Supreme Court, known for its proximity to President Nicolas Maduro  in 2017 neutralized the country's only opposition-controlled branch of government, the National Assembly, declaring it in contempt and nullifying its decisions. Opposition leader, Juan Guaido, backed by the US, had declared himself acting president 18-months ago and since then the US imposed sanctions after sanctions on Venezuela in order to fully oust Maduro.

Since the time Venezuelan crisis had interested the Donald Trump administration, the already struggling population began a more miserable lifestyle. The only thing that had interested Trump for politics and power but the lives of Venezuelan population were at stake.  Nearly five million people have left the country, according to the migration group IOM -- nearly a fifth of its entire population. The ruling party’s drive to keep holding on the power and Trump’s efforts of sabotaging the economy has had a heavy toll on the people. 

Even if the US wants its interests to be served, it will have to impose its decisions based on the future of the people in Venezuela and only then can they strive for balance and personal gains.
