In the same way, the deputy insisted on the urgency of immediately restarting the Mexican mechanism in favor of Venezuelans, “aware of how they have been used before by the dictatorship, that is why international accompaniment and strengthening unity are also key to achieve real solutions.
“For Venezuelans, time is counted in lives. An Agreement is urgently needed to attend to the emergency, do justice, re-institutionalize the country and have conditions for free and fair elections, with guarantees for all sectors. Our sole objective is to save Venezuela,” he said.
The unit is a daily build. The union is a duty of those who face the dictatorship.
