The president of the AN 2020 assured that all these laws “that have become obsolete” must comply with the provisions of article 130 of the Constitution, which establishes the “duty to honor and defend the country, its symbols and cultural values; safeguard and protect sovereignty, nationality, territorial integrity, self-determination and the interests of the Nation.
«The Organic Law of Political Parties, the Organic Law of the Electoral Power, of Electoral Processes and all these laws have the ultimate goal of caring for and protecting politics, yes, but also the ultimate goal of protecting and caring for our territory. There cannot be a politician who calls for invasions. There cannot be a policy that calls for planting bombs, that rejoices in the murder of humble men and women, no. “Let them dedicate themselves to something else,” Rodríguez stressed.
Among the proposed reforms, he mentioned, is the strengthening of the Electoral Power, including among the requirements to run for a popularly elected position compliance with constitutional article 130, eliminating the option to “keep one’s position” or the alleged duplicity of militancy and “selling” of cards.
«There must be an impeccable resume. “If you are corrupt, you cannot run for public office again (…) We will not allow a turncoat, a corrupt person, a fascist, to be a candidate ever again in Venezuela,” he stated.
He also questioned the number of parties duly registered with the CNE and that meet the requirements to maintain the organization. “Very few because the penalties are ridiculous.”
«There cannot be a Venezuelan who calls for foreign government invasions. That is unthinkable (…) If you do not recognize an electoral result then why participate? Do not participate If you do not recognize the electoral referee? Then don’t participate, you can’t be a candidate, neither that time nor the next,” Rodríguez insisted.
He also referred to the opposition leader María Corina Machado, whom he accused of “collaborating” with other governments for foreign interventions, and Edmundo González Urrutia, whom he accused of advocating “in an adventurous and psychotic way” the functions of the State.
«We send your child there, so that you feel like naming him whatever you want. “There they have their child,” Rodríguez said disparagingly.
