Through a press release, he stated that, “These instances must regain calm and not promote, with belligerent speeches, the imposition of issues and actions out of time and alien to the current moment.”
“It is not about leaving or being dragged by anger, but about promoting an environment of consultation, dialogue and agreement to face the serious challenges facing the country,” he pointed out in the document.
Vargas Maldonado added that, as the opposition and broad social sectors have expressed it, there are no reasons to subject the nation to a process of Constitutional reformwhen the population suffers the ravages of a terrible famine and worrying deterioration in its quality of life.

Vargas Maldonado rejected any manifestation contrary to the search for quick and efficient solutions to the current problems and the challenges facing the country that are consequences of external factors such as the pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as internal issues such as carelessness in countryside and education, among other vital services.
