The deputy to the National Assembly (AN), Julio Chávez, pointed out that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) must justify the origin of the funds they receive for their work.
In this sense, he said that “if the funds they receive are auditable and transparent, there will be no problem.”
In an interview with VTV, he explained that the Draft Law for the Inspection, Regularization, Action and Financing of NGOs, Its objective is to regulate the exercise of these entities in the country, under national laws and statutes.
Similarly, the bill seeks to make the actions of NGOs more transparent and respond to the interests of the Venezuelan people.
In this regard, he said that it is essential that NGOs justify the exercise of their functions, because there are some that have been operating to generate destabilization inside and outside the country.
The parliamentarian said that the project of Law of Inspection, Regularization and Performance of the NGOs It will go to a first discussion within the National Assembly, and then it will tour the country to debate it and receive the contributions of the people, especially the border states, where some NGOs do not carry out social work, but work to destabilize the border
Complaint
Likewise, Chávez denounced that the NGO SIPAS, a Colombian foundation, does intelligence work to capture Venezuelan migration on the borders shared by Colombia and Venezuela, to incorporate it into destabilization tasks.
He specified that the NGOs identified in Colombian territory during the government of Iván Duque do not carry out any social work on the border, “they have been acting against the economy in the border area, because these groups are not interested in the government of Petro and Maduro can advance in the integration process”.
He assured that many of these NGOs operated with the privatization of immigration services for Venezuelans, by demanding large sums of money to process passports and carry out other immigration procedures.
The parliamentarian, a member of the Special Commission to Investigate Crimes against Venezuelan Migrants Abroad, added that another of the plans of these destabilizing NGOs was to apply a certain methodology in Venezuelan prisons, to generate campaigns on human rights violations in those spaces.
He recalled that in 2019 some NGOs took advantage of the migration issue and stole the resources that were sent to help Venezuelan migrants. “The actions of these NGOs must be investigated because they threaten the peace of the country.”
