The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, stressed that the legitimate national government, which he leads, has made an effort to dialogue with all sectors of Venezuelan society but that, “in a particular way” there has been an effort to “dialogue with the political sector (opposition) dependent on the United States government… that responds to the directives of the US government; that at some time was called guaidosista; now it is no longer guaidosista, now it is called the PU (Unitary Platform)», he said. and he said that for “long months” talks have been held to “rescue part of the billions of dollars” that with the unilateral coercive measures illegally imposed from Washington, kidnapped the assets of Venezuela and now the negotiations continue “at a new level … a new point”.
“Venezuela has very advanced levels of social, economic, political, cultural dialogue,” said the president and the president referred during the transmission of the La Hora de la Salsa program, which he hosted this Thursday in the company of the first combatant Cilia Flores and the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez.
The president pointed out the silent work between Venezuelans, with the mediation of the Kingdom of Norway to reach the agreement that will recover the resources and welcomed the prudent efforts of Oslo for the development of the negotiations.
The Head of State also thanked the work of the Government of Mexico of “President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Foreign Minister (of Mexico Marcelo) Ebrard, for the positive and prudent diplomacy that has supported and serves as the basis for these dialogues to be resumed in a new level; a new point of dialogue », he pointed out.
He referred to how a large part of those billions that will be rescued will be used for the recovery of the deteriorated national infrastructure, both due to the recent climatic phenomena that affect the country, as well as the blockade that prevents the normal functioning of the State and the maintenance of the services in the country.
A new point of dialogue with extremists
The president explained that the negotiation work between Venezuelans; With the mediation of international guarantors, it took the dialogue to “a new level… a new point in terms of recovering the sequestered resources to invest them in the people of Venezuela; then we will see what other issues can be discussed with this sector of the opposition,” he said.
He considered “an exaggeration of the international media; press agencies» point out that the dialogues are resumed, because «Venezuela has always had a dialogue, it is not that the dialogue is resumed; is that we are going to dialogue with the extremist opposition sector that tried to carry out a coup in Venezuela and failed, and we (the Venezuelan State) are extending our hand (to that extremist sector) as a bridge of salvation so that they return to democracy, to the Constitution,” Maduro said, noting that the Venezuelan people and the world should be aware of this situation.
“We are negotiating with a sector that sought military intervention in Venezuela; who called on the government of Donald Trump (former US president) to invade us,” he said.
“I have said, peace is our method, it is our port as the Liberator Simón Bolívar said, and we are going to seek peace through the paths of dialogue… of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,” he explained.
Rodríguez: Sensatez of Venezuela achieves dialogue in peace
President Maduro explained that the continuation of the dialogue is good news and said that the head of the delegation of the Venezuelan State is the president of Parliament, Jorge Rodríguez, who has gone through all the processes to reach peace by consensus, even with the most violent sectors.
Rodríguez said that beyond the reservations to which he is obliged as a negotiator in the dialogue mechanism, he must “emphasize fundamentally; the first of them that approximately four or five months ago we (the Venezuelan State and the PU) have been having discreet, secret and constructive meetings.
The president of Parliament explained that the coup agenda of the sector that is now negotiating could have “very serious consequences… against the peace of Venezuela” but that “fortunately the good sense and the ability of the people to defend themselves and resist any attempt to get out of the cause democratic and constitutional that Venezuela has, leads us to this process of talks… in peace,” he said.
He explained how world leaders celebrate that the dialogue is peaceful between Venezuelans, not like in other countries that are immersed in painful armed conflicts between countries or between compatriots.
He explained that it is proposed that the dialogues that are based in the Mexican capital be held within the framework of the memorandum of understanding “that was signed in August 2021”, which began with “a social agreement on the division of social issues”, because Venezuela has sufficient resources to meet the needs in social terms, but they are kidnapped and blocked by the siege through a new generation war that tried to isolate the country.
Rodríguez explained that the agreement provides for meeting the needs of the country in terms of “Health, Education, Electricity, water; attend to the recent tragedies due to the rains and climatic emergency, feeding the people of Venezuela, and I think it is a good agreement,” said the head of Parliament.
“It will allow us to recover resources that were illegally blocked in accounts abroad and will directly reach the attention of the Venezuelan population,” explained the deputy.
