Deputy Nicolás Maduro Guerra assured yesterday that they will start a global campaign to make it known that his father, President Nicolás Maduro, “is a decent man, he is a hard-working man, he is a hard-working man. What he has done all his life is to pursue a more just world, a more humane world.”
The parliamentarian, who did not offer further details of the campaign, at the same time, indicated that they will continue fighting for justice through legal means.
“We are going to fight the legal battle because in the end that battle proves us right. If it is for the right, we are right,” he said in a video published yesterday on his social networks.
This Friday, President Maduro denounced through his lawyer Barry Pollack that the United States violates his right to defense by trying to prevent the Venezuelan Government from paying the law firm’s fees.
This week, according to what was reported by Pollack, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (Ofac) denied the license to pay with funds from the Government of Venezuela the defense expenses of the president kidnapped on January 3 in Caracas, after the US military incursion, and taken to New York.
In this regard, the lawyer said before Judge Alvin Hellerstein that Ofac interferes with the right to defense, established in the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, and Maduro’s right to due process.
Maduro Guerra highlighted that the country is overcoming the situation thanks to the fact that the high political command team that governed with him is at the forefront.
