The president of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, denounced this Tuesday a dirty campaign, promoted by the right-wing pre-candidate Maria Corina Machado after the videos broadcast on social networks where you can see “producers” discarding their crops alleging impediments to market them.

In this sense, he recalled the “handbook” of María Corina Machado, who was an accomplice in the violent acts that have occurred in the country in recent years, as well as the call to the United States (USA) to invade Venezuela.
“It is the same file, they are dirty campaigns that seek political benefit, or electoral benefit. We must denounce, we have been very lukewarm with those who have called for invasions, attacks against the President of the Republic, we have to be more energetic, harsh in the treatment of those people who call for destruction and death”, he added.
The statements of the President of Parliament are given two days later that two people were arrested for throwing vegetables in the states of Mérida and Trujillo.

“It is a miserable strategy, because when one observes they are products of good quality. What peasant dares to throw away his harvest, it is a ignorance of our worthy peasants. It is clear that someone bought the crops to put on a show, to boycott food and take advantage of the electoral campaign, ”he stressed.
