The Italian political world was with him. On 26 May this year, in fact, some Members of the Democratic Party, including Senator Anna Finocchiaro, have signed an urgent interpellation of solidarity with the victims of the entrepreneurs of Italian origin expropriation in Venezuela. Claudio Micheloni, lead author of the motion, denounced the expropriation of 76 companies working in the hydrocarbons sector, "many of which are owned by the Italian-Venezuelan." Nearby

Today they came to confiscate the trucks "), which denounced an expropriation took place" without be able to defend ourselves through the competent authorities. " In the letter - and indirectly to the other 14 companies owned by Italian-Venezuelan citizens - respond promptly to our Ambassador Luigi Maccotta. The diplomat explained the initiatives activated by the Italian Government to raise awareness among local authorities (Ministry of Energy, Petroleum Company, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Parliamentary Friendship Group Italo-Venezuelan), and explained how they had been pointed out the damage and distress that you were to create within the community. Remarked, however, that a law to nationalize falls within the sphere of state sovereignty. The Console
