“The Party is persecuted, but with the other standard, the escape of characters who have muddied the institutionality of the government and also of the Party is allowed. Should the party remain neutral?he added.

Both the censorship of Chávez and that of Senmache, once debated within the party, occurred because the Party had its own statement”he asserted.
