During an interview offered to the Razón de Estado program, broadcast by NTN24, the Venezuelan politician mentioned the offers made by the opposition.
He stressed that Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo González “they are offering a peaceful and inclusive transition” in Venezuela.
“With the arrival of Edmundo González and María Corina Machado to a transitional government, chaos will begin to be left behind. Chaos itself exists with Maduro, As long as Maduro occupies public powers, there will be no freedom and if there is no freedom, there is no peace in Venezuela”, he stated.
Furthermore, he considered that it is “inconceivable” that a political transition would occur that is not led by Machado and González.
“If Maduro wants to hand over power, recognizing the defeat he inflicted on the people of Venezuela, he has to do so. That does not imply impunity, because there will be no peace in Venezuela either and if there is no justice,” he indicated.
