The head of the Venezuelan government delegation for dialogue with sectors of the opposition, Jorge Rodríguez, pointed out that with the signing of the agreement in Mexico, the extremist sector of the opposition recognizes the negative effect that the sanctions imposed by the United States have had on the population. and Europe.
“With this agreement, for the first time, this extremist sector of the Venezuelan opposition recognizes the existence of sanctions and the existence of frozen money that belongs to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,” he said during his participation in the press conference offered by President Nicolás Maduro to national and international media from the Miraflores Palace.
The also president of the National Assembly, noted that, contrary to what some media outlets and spokespersons for this faction of the opposition point out, that the management of the more than 3,000 million frozen dollars will correspond to the United Nations, the social projects will be under the rectory of the Venezuelan ministerial authorities who prepared the investment proposal with their technicians.
“Despite the creation of a United Nations fund because it was the financial mechanism that was devised to address this situation, the truth is that all the administration of these funds will be based on the laws of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, on the Constitution , and the governing bodies will be the Ministry of Popular Power for Health, the Ministry of Popular Power for Electricity, and the Ministry of Popular Power for Internal Relations and Justice, which are the ones that have carried out this plan with their technicians,” he specified. .
Recognition of the institutionality
He stressed that another of the achievements obtained based on the normalization of political life in the country, is that with this agreement the guaidosista sector of the opposition offers its recognition of the Government led by President Nicolás Maduro.
“It is a recognition by this sector that you have identified very well from the Venezuelan opposition, from this fraction of the Venezuelan opposition to recognize that in Venezuela there is only one Government, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela presided over by Nicolás Maduro, because the heading of the document says ‘among the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,’” he pointed out, while stressing that this sector recognizes itself as a fraction of the Venezuelan opposition.
“Then there is something very interesting that they do not recognize themselves as the Venezuelan opposition, that is, the way Mr. Borrell names him, the way some foreign media agencies name him is not the way they call themselves, because they could have requested that It will be signed between the Government and the opposition, but they know that they are not the only opposition in Venezuela and that is why it is signed between the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and a portion of the opposition called the Unitary Platform of Venezuela”, he indicated.
Investment for the people
Rodríguez detailed the scope of this agreement signed between the Government and the extremist opposition for the benefit of the population, where priority is given to investment in health, education and services.
“We are going to fully recover 2,300 schools throughout the national territory, we are going to comply with the total immunization plan for all our boys and girls, we are going to obtain medicines for the care of 60,000 cancer patients, treatment for HIV- AIDS, we are going to recover the entire radiotherapy system nationwide, we are going to recover 11 blood banks, we are going to recover maternity and child hospitals, we are going to increase electricity generation by 465 MV, we are going to recover transmission and electricity generation”, he explained.
He maintained that this agreement seeks to remedy the wounds that the sanctions caused against the social fabric, for which he was confident that this document “opens up a possibility of recovery based on the attention that has been provided by Venezuelan Government technicians.”
