The working class of the state of Táchira took a step forward in the defense of the nation by installing and formally swearing in the Regional Council for Peace and Sovereignty of the workers’ sector.
The event, held in the auditorium of the Casa Sindical, brought together Workers’ Productive Councils, prevention delegates, farmers, fishermen and unions, to consolidate the stability and productive project of the country.
Diógenes Gámez, president of the Bolivarian Socialist Workers’ Central, highlighted that the swearing-in follows the guidelines of the “worker president and the legacy of Commander Chávez, unifying efforts for independence, for sovereignty and peace from Táchira, where the homeland begins and ends.”
The member of the General Staff of the Working Class at the national level, José Mora Sigüaraña, expressed his satisfaction at seeing the organic work of the sector on the hottest border in Latin America aimed at reinforcing the issue of peace.
“The workers of Tachira are worthy heirs of the libertarian flags that claim the historical legacy of sustaining peace, because this town is glorious, historical, we are not a threat, but we are hope,” said Mora.
He called on adversaries to join the dialogue and debate the project that defends “peace, harmony, and productivity.”
For his part, José Braca, from the Bolivarian Union of Workers, transmitted a message of tranquility and security to the working class, ensuring that Venezuela is prepared for defense. “The worker has to be calm and sure that we have a president of the Republic who has his boots on well,” he said.
Braca warned those who underestimate the people’s capacity to respond, “here we are not going to have our sovereignty touched, because the worker is already willing to defend our homeland. Make no mistake because the effort is joint, involving militiamen, the army, communes, communal councils and peasants.
Organization and consolidation of teams
William Parada, director of Policy and Citizen Participation of the Táchira governorate, explained that the installation of the Council is part of an organizational strategy at the territorial level to defend independence.
Parada announced that the next phase is to consolidate more than 130 teams of Workers for Peace Councils in different municipalities, parishes and companies. The initiative seeks to guarantee the security and stability of each worker, despite external threats.
In this installation, the commitment of strategic sectors such as Corpoelec, Cantv, Hidrosuroeste, IVT, and Coimta, together with private companies, was demonstrated.
“We are meeting the different unions of private companies, public companies, different institutions, which assume the role of defense and construction of a country,” concluded Parada.
