Tarek Willian Saab: February 27 leaves us with a great commitment to maintain the unity of the Venezuelan people

Tarek Willian Saab: El 27F nos deja un gran compromiso por mantener la unidad del pueblo venezolano

The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, said this Monday that the lesson that “El Caracazo” was able to leave on February 27, 1989, “is the awakening of the conscience of the people who lived through a horrifying past, of violation of human rights and massacres, where there were no perpetrators and impunity reigned.”

This was announced during an interview on the 360º program broadcast by Venezuelan Television, and stressed that today, 34 years after that barbarism against the people of Venezuela, it is up to the Revolutionary Government to “maintain the historical memory, never forget and continue with the commitment to correct errors, preserve the unity of the people and move forward.”

The attorney general considered that El Caracazo was a double massacre without sanction, “there was atrocious impunity, because at the judicial level no one was charged, no one was accused, there were no detainees by the government that violated the human rights of the town”.

He remembered Carlos Andrés Pérez when he reached his second term as president, he authorized the mobilization of four thousand Army soldiers who were thrown into the streets to murder people.

“Unofficially, there were more than two thousand deaths, people died in Petare, on January 23, in the streets of Caracas, it was terrible to see images of children in the streets killed by shots from Fal,” Saab commented, while assuring that this massacre had a first and last name, Carlos Andrés Pérez and many other members of his government who went unpunished.

He stressed that it was Hugo Chávez, who with his humanist character achieved a great change in the country, by proposing the Constituent Assembly and creating a new Constitution, which truly defended the human and civil rights of the population.

Saab mentioned that the 1961 Constitution had been violated since the arrival of Rómulo Betancourt to the presidency, where the slogan “shoot first and find out later” was promoted and a true state terrorism was implemented.

He assured that for El Caracazo to be provoked, 65 percent of the population lived in critical poverty and the Government of Carlos Andrés Pérez came to impose a package with the increase in the price of gasoline by more than 30 percent and the increase to double or triple urban transport.

Saab emphasized that human rights violations in the country have currently decreased by 40 percent, thanks to judicial action and sanctions applied by the Public Ministry and the courts of the Nation. “A thousand 695 people have been charged with human rights violations, 860 officials have been deprived of their liberty and almost 400 have been sentenced.”
