The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, held the current president of Chile, Gabriel Boric, responsible for the victory of the Pinochetist José Antonio Kast in the ballot last Sunday in the South American country.

“For all this, we must thank the current president. He is responsible then. When you want to govern in lukewarmth, when you don't want to understand who elected you, if you don't want to govern for the elites, these things happen. But hey, the Chilean people will have the opportunity when they have elections again,” said Cabello.

During the weekly press conference of the red awning, he recalled that Kast's parents “participated in an atrocious coup against the president legitimately elected in Chile by the people. And after that coup d'etat, they committed some of the most terrible massacres you can imagine against a people (...) so imagine what the next president has in his blood”.

He said that, according to real stories, during the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship, opponents were thrown “even into a stadium and shot there. And before they were shot, they were tortured. Víctor Jara, for example (...) Entire families disappeared, families separated”.

Cabello recalled that, then, “many who left Chile came to Venezuela and we received them as lovingly as we Venezuelans are. They lovingly made their lives here in Venezuela, they joined the People of Venezuela.”
