Jorge Rodrguez, the head of the Chavista delegation, rejected this Wednesday the United States' announcement of the resumption of economic sanctions on Venezuela. He accused the U.S.
of "failing its word" regarding what was discussed in Doha. The official propaganda apparatus, which was awaiting Washington's announcement, deployed a vigorous campaign to present its version of what happened, with trending hashtags on social networks such as #VenezuelaSeRespetaYPunto or BidenLiftTheBlockadeNow. In addition, billboards were displayed blaming the opposition for the social and economic tragedy of these years. "The International Monetary Fund, which does not like us (neither do we love them), is projecting economic prosperity," said President Nicolás Maduro after the speech. The government apparatus deploys a propaganda operation to offer a sample of economic dynamism and announces the signing of new agreements with Repsol.
