According to Requesens, in First Justice – which acknowledged as his political home – for a few years “the differences became existential, thinking differently is pointed out as betrayal, it is judged on the contrary as an enemy.” He also thanked the support of his militants during the five years he was imprisoned.
For his part, the economist and former deputy José Guerra said in a video that “it is arbitrariness and authoritarian management of the party” the expulsion of Capriles, Requesens and four other leaders of that party, since the rules of the organization were not followed to make this type of decisions.
Guerra, which is part of the Board of the National Directorate, said that the document has no signature and “usurp” the acronym of the party. He stressed that to date a sanction of the Disciplinary Court of PJ is not known where the expulsion of these six people is official.
“Let’s do our best so that this game survives this situation so serious that they are living, tell me for that, but not for expulsion, not to have the guillotine in your hand, to take your head from several colleagues who have been in the fight for so many years,” the former deputy asked.
