The Venezuelan leader, who arrived in the Netherlands yesterday for that purpose, is defending the country's historical rights and the validity of the 1966 Geneva Agreement as the only legitimate mechanism to resolve this dispute.Delcy Rodriguez does not recognize the International Court of Justice, as Guyana is unilaterally attempting to do, and emphasizes that Venezuela is the only legitimate holder of the Esequibo territory.

He is accused of receiving around 76 million dollars in bribes related to the construction of the country's largest hydroelectric plant, Coca-Cola Sinclair.

There are allegations of a supposed agreement between Moreno and the pro-United States neoliberal government of Daniel Novoa, which would allegedly provide judicial guarantees in exchange for maintaining his political offensive against former president Rafael Correa, who promoted Moreno to the presidency only for Moreno, according to Correa, to later betray him and launch a witch hunt against him and the entire Correismo leadership.China - United StatesAnd China confirms President Trump's visit to meet with his counterpart Xi Jinping.
