Deputy Saúl Ortega, a member of the Permanent Commission on Foreign Policy of the National Assembly (AN), affirmed that the process of dialogue with the opposition promoted by the Bolivarian Government must be based on a country agenda.
The parliamentarian expressed in the “Al Aire” program, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión, that “conversations with the opposition have to be framed on a country agenda. It cannot be a council for nothing, and in which all the representative voices of the nation are present, hence the need to expand the dialogue table with different spokespersons”.
He recalled that in the opposition “there are pseudo-leaders who have nothing to say to the country and are responsible, in addition to having requested the sanctions that have done so much damage to the people, therefore they are not qualified to build the other counterpart, more in a dialogue process, which is what the country requires”.
In this sense, Ortega added that in the opposition camp there are political formations that have representation in the powers of the State, such as the National Assembly through the deputies and more recently the governors elected in the last November elections, who also have the right to participate in a dialogue process with the Bolivarian Government.
In this sense, the parliamentarian maintained that the US government applies sanctions that contradict the international order, but the international context has changed “new forces are proposing a multipolar world.”
On the other hand, Ortega indicated that the Commission’s legislative agenda is addressing the follow-up of approved laws and through enabling means, “we have to continue in that direction.”
