The president in charge of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, stated this Monday that in the face of difficulties we always stand up. He stressed that the Venezuelan people are clear about the importance of caring for the peace and independence of Venezuela.
“The lessons that life leaves us are knowing that in the face of difficulties we always stand up, never stay on the ground, always standing with joy, with hope, with love for our people,” he expressed.
From the state of Sucre, during an event with the communes and social movements where she evaluated strategies towards the Popular Consultation on March 8, the president in charge pointed out that Venezuela has demonstrated that Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy, political and diplomatic dialogue, is the space to resolve differences.
“In a world where violence and war are sown, may Venezuela demonstrate and send messages to other peoples that diplomatic face-to-face, that face-to-face in political dialogue is the only thing that serves our boys, our girls, our men, our women, to be certain that we are on the right path, to be certain that Venezuela has the means to relate to the countries of the planet peacefully in the form of cooperation, in the form of friendship,” he added.
In this sense, Rodríguez called on the people of Sucre to defend the peace of the country, after the disturbance caused by the military attacks on January 3. “With that same independence inspiration, with that same spirit of greatness of our liberators, I call on you to take care of Venezuela, to take care of peace, to take care of tranquility, to take care of independence, to take care of sovereignty.”
“In Sucre, fortunately, thank God no bombs or missiles fell, but the Venezuelan people who suffered that aggression on January 3 know where we come from, they know the importance of caring for the peace of Venezuela, they know the importance of caring for the independence of Venezuela (…) If a people knows about independence, it is the people of Sucre; if a people knows about freedom, it knows about greatness, it is the people of Sucre,” he said.
Insists on lifting the blockade and sanctions against the country
On the other hand, the head of state in charge reiterated her call to President Donald Trump to lift the sanctions and blockade against Venezuela. “We have told President Trump that he considers us his friends, his partners (…) We have told him that we celebrate and salute that consideration, but as a united people the blockade against Venezuela must end, the sanctions against Venezuela must be lifted, the people of Venezuela and Venezuela deserve it (…) Enough of the blockade, enough of that stateless class that asked for sanctions, that asked for bombing, that asked for invasion,” he asserted.
«Venezuela must take a step forward in a new spirituality of reunion, of democratic coexistence, of inheritance of forever turning the page of hatred and extremism. No more hatred, no more intolerance. And the Venezuelan people, I am sure, will know how to educate that type of extremist politics that has led Venezuela to situations of great danger, great risk and suffering, those who every day when they asked for sanctions did not think about the education of our children, did not think about the health of our people. They didn’t think about food, about housing. They did not think about the infrastructure of services for our people. The time has come to heal,” reflected the president in charge.
