Given the dispossession of Venezuelan assets, he recalled that the Asset Forfeiture Law was recently approved in the National Assembly, and that the draft Law for the Protection of Assets of Rights and Interests of the Republic and its Entities abroad is in consultation. ; another legal instrument to recover assets in the hands of corruption.

Salary
When asked about the recent adjustments to the minimum vital income of the country’s workers, Cabello stressed that President Nicolás Maduro has a “particular language with workers.”

In addition, he recalled that in Venezuela for 10 years the Adeco-Copeyan governments did not increase the minimum wage because the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would not let them.
Xenophobia against Venezuelan migrants

CNE opposition primaries
Diosdado Cabello stressed that the opposition knows that Venezuela’s electoral system is the safest in the world.

Territorialization of the Jpsuv
This week there was continuity to a day of territorialization of the JPSUV with the participation of more than 200,000 young people, so that each street and community has a minimum structure of the youth of the party.
