The Secretary of the National Council for Sovereignty and Peace, Jorge Rodríguez, announced that this Saturday, September 20, the sector councils of fishermen and fishermen for sovereignty and peace are installed in all Venezuelan coasts, as part of a national strategy to strengthen the fishing sector and defend maritime sovereignty before imperial threats.
“We are going to distribute, from the National Secretariat, from Margarita to the Zulia state, for all our marine coasts,” he said during the installation of the State Council for the sovereignty and peace of the La Guaira state.
Rodríguez warned that the fishing activity faces a real threat product of imperial campaigns that seek to destabilize “one of the sectors that has grown the most in Venezuela since President Hugo Chávez eliminated predatory fishing practices.”
He also denounced that the fishermen of Venezuela and the Caribbean are being the target of fascist aggressions and reaffirmed the need to meet fishermen in the region who have always defended the Caribbean as a peace zone.
“There is nothing more illegal than what has been tried against Venezuela, there is nothing further from the international legal order, nothing farther from the truth that must prevail among international relations,” he said.
As part of the day, three work tables will be formed to develop concrete initiatives that strengthen the sector. Among the issues to be addressed, he highlighted the role of social networks that provide elements of freedom and communication to overcome the censorship that empires manage on digital platforms.
“A videíto recorded from the fishing vessel, from the ship, where it is said that we are producers and fishermen, that drug traffickers are others that live in Miami, in New York, and La Plata handle it in the US financial system. Here what we are are workers of the sea,” Rodriguez said.
