“We cannot repeat the society of accomplices, the same one of the Fourth Republic that has transmuted into the extremist, terrorist right, we do have a tough campaign against corruption, no matter who falls,” said President Nicolás Maduro, in reference to the recent corruption plot involving the former mayor of Maracaibo, Rafael Ramírez.
In the Zona Digital segment of the program Con Maduro + edition 64, the head of state revealed that “that mayor used the money that was collected in taxes from the town of Maracaibo and gave 50 thousand dollars to Juan Pablo Guanipa, declared by his own brother Pedro Guanipa. They had a list of the extinct terrorist group Primero Justicia, one of the lines of corruption,” he said while revealing that there is another line that is “Julio Borges denounced by themselves (Henrique Capriles and Tomás Guanipa), his corruption from Spain.” .
Maduro maintained that the only way for them to access power is by forming economic groups to steal “and as a society of accomplices they will not see any of them with the evidence in their hands as the corrupt people of Maracaibo have been convicted and confessed through testimonies, no one has come out to condemn,” he emphasized.
The president insisted that Juan Pablo Guanipa is one of the “most fascist elements, with the most hatred and violence; and more cowardly than is known on the right, in addition to moral decadence.”
He noted that there are things that are not known: “I am not going to say them, because I should not say it, but the moral decadence recognized by his own brother Pedro (Guanipa) will be terrible when it is known, because it must be in the file.”
He recalled in that sense that if “those people came to govern they would destroy the foundations of our country.”
Citgo theft
Regarding the arrest of more than 350 people, parties, NGOs involved in the Citgo theft, he maintained that the National Assembly “is playing a stellar role and deputy Pedro Infante delivered a report to the attorney general’s office” for investigation.
“I hope all those involved pay and go to justice for this brazen theft led by Juan Guaidó, María Corina Machado, Leopoldo López and the band of corrupt opposition members,” of a company that costs more than 11 billion dollars and that It belongs to the people, Maduro expressed.
