The first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, ruled out that the primaries of the extremist sector of the opposition announced this Monday materialize in reality.
«I said it and I repeat it; There will be no primaries here, that is a way to buy time, “he declared during his program Con el Mazo Dando, number 421, where he was accompanied by the President of the Republic Nicolás Maduro.
He noted that this process announced by the commission appointed by the parties that make up the so-called Unitary Platform of the Opposition dismissed the incorporation of other sectors of the Venezuelan right, which he maintained “are the ones that have the votes.”
It must be explained that they announced a schedule for a small sector of the opposition, because they decided to leave out those who have the votes because those who did not enter are those who have deputies, mayors, governors, “he explained.
Likewise, he added that another of the opposition sectors that were ruled out by extremism in this announced process is the trend represented by old leaders such as Eduardo Fernández.
Campaign with “mea culpa”
He stressed that the representatives of the extremist opposition who are campaigning for these primaries “are asking for forgiveness and pointing out failures, but none agrees to say, I failed in these 23 years and I am leaving.”
The deputy also referred to the recent statements by the opposition former governor of Miranda, Henrique Capriles Radonski against the comedian and candidate Benjamín Rausseo, known as the Count of Guácharo, whom he questioned for “not being present in the struggle of recent years.”
«I am sure that the Count will answer him (…). I do not get into those fights, because it is not my intention, nor am I going to get involved, I promise, but at least one saw the Count working, right, in their shows, in their things, “he said.
