CARACAS, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Latin American Parliament (Parlatino) condemned on Friday the acts of espionage allegedly perpetrated by the U.S. government over a decade against the Venezuelan national oil company, PDVSA.

Parlatino President Angel Rodriguez told the press that all the deputies of Venezuela's Great Patriotic Pole coalition of social movements condemned such acts revealed by Edward Snowden, a former operative of U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).

"Nobody will believe any American spokesman who says the espionage against PDVSA was not for dark reasons, such as seeking commercial secrets," said the Venezuelan parliamentarian.

Venezuela's TV channel TeleSUR has recently reported that the NSA allegedly spied on the PDVSA and many of its staff up until 2010.
