The Observer Network reported on the 22nd that because of a case of 2 billion gold ownership disputes, the Bank of England was once caught in a transnational dispute, but with the recent judgment of the British Supreme Court, the case involving 2 billion gold was finally concluded, and the gold owners could not retrieve the gold stored in the UK, but the British government also exposed its ambitions.
This case, which spans nearly a year, was once in a dilemma because of who is the "legitimate president" of Venezuela, and if you want to determine the ownership of gold through the "law", you need the British Supreme Court to show its attitude on the issue of "who is the president". However, the United Kingdom has clearly referred to Guaido in Venezuela as the country's "president", and the choice of the British court is actually very simple.
Venezuelan President Maduro has wanted to get the gold back more than once, but the Bank of England has denied the legitimacy of the Maduro government's recovery of gold on the grounds that the presidency is not legal. Now the judgment of the British court directly from the "British law" determines that the opposition Guaido is the "legitimate president" of Venezuela, which means that in the eyes of the British, even if the gold can be taken, only Guaido can come forward.
It is worth mentioning that Guaido, the leader of the opposition, is actually a spokesman supported by Western countries. He accused Venezuela of having an "inside story" in Venezuela's presidential election, using it to attack Maduro's re-election as a conspiracy. Guaido then established himself as the "legitimate president" of the country in the name of ensuring the interests of the people of the country, and his self-reliance was also supported by European countries and the United States.
However, the European Union later reversed itself, no longer recognizing Guaido's "legal status", and completely abandoned Guaido. Apparently, britain, which has left the European Union, is not willing to follow the example of the European Union and abandon Guaido, after all, there is still a lot of gold stored in British banks.
The British try to protect Guaido, in fact, is very easy to understand. First, once Guaido's status is denied, then the Maduro government in Venezuela is the legitimate owner of gold, and there is no reason for the United Kingdom to prevent the country from retrieving its own gold, after all, the Venezuelan government has clearly stated that this gold will be paid to international institutions to buy a covid-19 vaccine that guarantees national immunity.
Second, the United States has not changed its tune. Even after Biden took office, the United States did not change its attitude, strengthening various sanctions while always planning to overthrow the Maduro regime. The United Kingdom also hopes to strengthen cooperation between the United Kingdom and the United States through Biden, so that the two countries are on the same front, so that their lives outside the European Union are better, and it is naturally impossible for them not to support guaido in the case of the United States supporting Guaido.
Third, the British actually understand very well that only by supporting Guaido can we ensure that the gold remains in Britain and can we "legally possess" it. Due to the situation in Venezuela, Guaido, a "president" who has never been in power, can be said to have no strong foundation, some are only the support of Western countries, once Guaido brings these funds back to China, it is equivalent to self-investment net, maduro government will recover all these funds.
For the British, acknowledging that Guaido is the master of gold without any loss, and can continue to use these Venezuelan reserves of gold, it has to be said that the British have made a good calculation. Guaido proved to be also very discerning, and after the British Supreme Court ruled that he was the owner of the gold, he directly put forward the demand that the gold continue to be trusted in the United Kingdom, saying that this move was to prevent the Maduro government from "stealing" assets belonging to the people.
In fact, in the final analysis, the British are doing this all for the sake of profit today, without the benefits of gold, without the support of the United States for Guaido, the United Kingdom can not do this for the opposition leader of another country, after all, this will also hurt the British "credibility".
