These statements joined Gustavo Bolívardirector of Social Prosperity, who supported the position of his colleagues and reaffirmed his commitment to the transformation of the country. “I sympathize with France and Susana in this difficult position.

My family has been attacked , my children have been subject to accusations, although they have never had contracts with the State or jobs in the government.
