The first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, recommended businessmen and artists practice their profession and not join conspirators, since this type of activity generates severe criminal and judicial sanctions.
“They get involved on their own, so when you hear them declaring in the media and getting involved in things they shouldn’t, you say: My God, why don’t people dedicate themselves to their work. For example, if you are a businessman, dedicate yourself to your companies, but don’t get involved in conspiring because they will step on your fingers,” the Bolivarian leader warned this Wednesday during broadcast 506 of the program Con El Mazo Dando.
He also recognized that Venezuela is a country where political dissidence is allowed, artists and their expressions of protest are respected, but that is different from participating in a conspiracy for a coup d’état.
Magalli Meda attacks the ecclesiastical hierarchy
On the other hand, Cabello considered it necessary for the authorities to investigate why Magalli Meda attacks the ecclesiastical hierarchy and accuses them of “taking care of their own interests.”
On the billboard of his program he read a publication made by Meda in which he lambasts the ecclesiastical hierarchy and blames them for not “taking action” and speaks of the “inaction of the men of God.”
“What fight must he have had with the ecclesiastical hierarchy? What could he have asked them to do and they refused? Could it be that he asked them to put on uniforms and take up arms? “We will have to investigate what happened there,” he said.
