The president of the National Assembly (AN), deputy Jorge Rodríguez, stated during the ordinary session this Tuesday that “our revolution is to end Yankee domination and not a revolution to live hanging on the gringos’ balls,” referring that since the North American empire has existed, two types of revolutions have occurred in different countries of the world.
This statement was made by the highest representative of Popular Power in response to the intervention of the Democratic Action deputy, Rubén Limas, who flatteringly referred to Rómulo Betancourt as one of the leaders of democracy in the country.
Rodríguez stated that he was absolutely certain about what happened in October 1945, “and you, Deputy Limas, refer to our revolution with the rudeness that characterizes you, I am not going to respond as the Liberator would say to Mr. Irvin, “you don’t know. “It deserves a response from us.”
“The revolution that you represent, Deputy Limas, and it is demonstrated by history that it was made to hand over the oil industry to the gringos, do not talk about the oil industry, because they gave our industry to the gringos (…) The soil of Lagunillas is It sank because of so much oil that the gringo companies took out here (…) There are two types of revolutions: the one of the Lambesuelas, which was theirs, and that of the revolutionaries who expelled the gringos from this land, which is ours,” he asserted.
In this regard, Rodríguez was emphatic in pointing out that talking about Rómulo de Betancourt is denying the more than 7 thousand Venezuelans who were tortured, disappeared, murdered and thrown into the sea in a “macabre and brutal” attempt to end any left-wing dissidence. .
“Thousands of Venezuelan militants of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) were arrested, tortured, disappeared and murdered (…) When you go to throw balls it wouldn’t be a bad idea to read the book”black file“by José Vicente Rangel, where it is pointed out and demonstrated that it was in the government of Rómulo Betancourt and his Minister of the Interior, Carlos Andrés Pérez who began the process of kidnappings, disappearances and torture of Venezuelans for their political ideologies,” he stated. Rodriguez.
The parliamentarian also remembered Livia Gouverneur who was murdered during the government of Rómulo Betancourt. “Remember Che Masaer who was also murdered in the Betancourt government, Professor Alberto Lovera was also murdered in the Raúl Leoni government but was already persecuted since the Betancourt government, remember the soldiers tortured and murdered, remember Fabricio Ojeda” .
