Let
us not forget that Standard & Poor, Moody and Fitch rating
services are financed by the banks and therefore have no real
independence.
Part
2 - A pleasant "atmosphere" for the meeting
Last
Friday, a new list of sanctioned officials emerged from the U.S.
Treasury Department against Caracas. In this group, which is made up
of nearly 20 members of the government, including President Maduro,
came the warning: "Americans should be cautious in their
relations with the Venezuelan government," added the
statement from Washington.
It
demanded that they did not get involved in "transactions,
agreements, in a manner directly or indirectly" with the
officials named on the list of the treasury department under penalty
of fines of up to 10 million dollars and imprisonment for a maximum
30 years.
In
that atmosphere that was also burdened with the sanctions agreed by
the Council of the European Union bondholders met to arrange the
refinancing or restructuring of the Venezuelan debt in the White
Palace, a building located opposite Miraflores Palace which is the
seat of government in the capital city.
