Caracas/
In a special session of the National Assembly, controlled by the ruling party, held on the occasion of the anniversary, Representative Diosdado Cabello, the second-in-command of the Chavista movement, said he hoped that when the hundred years were completed “there will be a revolutionary” or “a revolutionary as president of this country,” while The opponents – he stressed – “will never rule the nation again.”
“They will not rule this country by hook or by crook,” said the first vice president of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela, who stressed that the ruling party is “obligated to win” so that the nation can “remain free and sovereign.” “And independent.”
“They will not rule this country either by hook or by crook,” Cabello said.
Cabello, who invited citizens to the session to fill the empty seats of deputies from “certain sectors of the opposition,” urged anti-Chavismos to measure their “foolishness” and the “disease of hatred.”
“Gentlemen of the opposition, every time you confronted us with violence, we defeated you,” the lawmaker said, denouncing the existence of alleged plans to attempt to “assassinate” the current head of state, Nicolas Maduro, who will assume the presidency of the country. He is seeking re-election for a second time in the presidential elections scheduled for July 28.
In this sense, he warned that “if something happened to Nicholas,” they would go after “every single one” of those responsible.
On the other hand, Cabello asked the ruling party to maintain unity and add more people to Chavismo, where “the future of the country lies.”
He added: “Anyone here who claims to be a revolutionary cannot have a specific agenda, and here there is a collective agenda led today by Nicolas Maduro Moros, our presidential candidate.”
On April 11, 2002, as part of a strike called by the business union and widespread citizen protests, Hugo Chávez was removed from power for almost two days.
During that period, businessman Pedro Carmona assumed the presidency, until the army and thousands of Chavez sympathizers succeeded, who took to the streets of Caracas and other cities demanding his return to power.
