Ahead of the presidential elections on July 28, the first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, assured the opposition that electoral processes are not won with polls, but with the vote of the people in the street.

“The opposition is lying to its people again, or are these bugs believing the poll story? You don't win elections with polls, you win with votes,” said Cabello during his Con El Mazo Dando program No. 482.

He referred to pollsters such as Luis Vicente León, who today insist on selling smoke pots because of the supposed advantage of the opposition over Chavism in the polls. “That guy gave (Henrique) Capriles the winner over (Hugo) Chávez, he gave it in his polls, but now, according to him it's the first time (that the opposition is first in the polls), he gave Capriles the winner, but he knew we were going to win, the pollsters are very vagrant,” he said.

For this reason, he stressed that while the opposition continues to believe in their polls, revolutionaries are preparing to surprise them. “The 1x10x7 that's nice and beautiful,” he said, highlighting the organization that the Revolution has to guarantee the victory of July 28.

“Surrender that you are surrounded, we are organizing like never before for this great victory,” he emphasized and stressed that the triumph of the Bolivarian Revolution will be splendid.

Also, faced with the possible scenarios of violence posed by the right wing to ignore the elections of July 28, he specified that revolutionaries and revolutionaries will remain alert to defend their votes.

“You are going to see Pueblo in the street and we are going to win overwhelmingly and we are not going to let ourselves be taken away by anyone, whoever goes out to hell with them, we are not the ones from 2015, 2016 (...) we are going to act and we have learned thanks to the clumsiness of the opposition (...) We are street, street, street and that day (July 28) with all the more reason”, he said.

The Far Right has no morals

Diosdado Cabello stressed that the extreme right has never had the moral to take responsibility for its words and actions, referring to the fact that this sector has always bet on the privatization of the country and disqualified the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) and the National Electoral Council (CNE), but now they want to deny it.

“ They have no word, they have no shame to assume their positions,” she said, referring to the fact that people like María Corina Machado “have been saying that she is going to privatize everything, education, 'someone pays for that, 'she says, that health must be privatized, if you ask her right now she says that she has never said that.”

He also questioned the fact that the participants in the electoral contest of the opposition sector had not presented any government plan.

“None of them have it, it's either because they either don't have it or it's unpresentable: They can't say it. Is it a lie that they are going to privatize things? That's not a lie, but they don't dare to say it openly,” he said.

As for the FANB, he indicated that the right wing “of course they are going to eliminate the Armed Forces, that's not new, we were cadets and there was a proposal, well not a proposal, it's a serious thing, to eliminate it to follow the example of Costa Rica.”

In addition, he recalled the large number of disqualifications against the men and women of the FANB that these sectors of the extreme right have made, who now want to come and say that they have never insulted them.

“This same right wing was told to the officers: they sold potatoes, they cleaned pocets, they tried to insult them and the People went out, the Army went out to the streets to meet the People and from there came the Civic-Military Union (...), but now they come in disguise to say: It's not okay, I've never and never insulted the Armed Forces,” she said, stressing that they have been able to talk about the military family when they have never known what it means.

He also specified that all attacks against the CNE are also carried out for the scenario of not recognizing the election results of July 28.

“ They don't have any kind of credibility and they don't mind lying all the time,” he said of the right.

The US behind the coup in Bolivia

The revolutionary leader denounced that the Government of the States is behind the coup d'etat in Bolivia against President Luis Arce, since they were unable to condemn him or even qualify the action as they should.

“ We have already seen that film here, while almost all countries, with some exceptions in the region, speak out condemning the attempted coup d'etat (...) The United States urged calm and moderation because of the 'situation' in Bolivia (...) the White House spokeswoman referred to the 'situation' in Bolivia, but did not use the designation of a coup d'etat, to my knowledge a few words. Who is behind the coup d'etat Bolivia? The United States, again, does not dare to condemn it because they are driving it, they have their hands in it,” he said.

He assured that the recurrent attacks against Bolivia are due to the fact that the North American empire wants to exercise its control, since this nation has the largest lithium reserves in the world.

“Bolivia has something called lithium, it's necessary, just as we have oil. The largest lithium reserves are in Bolivia and they need to have control of that,” he explained and recalled that in Venezuela they also did it with all the Presidents who tried to control oil; “here they knocked them down, everyone, the same thing happens there,” he said.

He stressed that the United States had achieved that control “in some way with the previous coup, until President Arce arrived and returned that and that cost him .”

Venezuela has rights to the Essequibo

Faced with the insolent statements of the Government of Canada on the subject of the Essequibo, Cabello emphasized that Venezuela has inalienable rights to that territory that has historically belonged to us.

“ We have inalienable rights to the Essequibo territory that neither threats from Canada nor anyone else will make us renounce,” Cabello said of the statement of the Canadian High Commissioner, Mark Berman, who urges Venezuela to respect international law on the issue of the Essequibo.

For this reason, he highlighted Venezuela's sovereignty in the face of this apparent threat. “It sounds like a threat from the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, who must take hold of this threat, fold it up and put it in his pocket because no one is going to threaten us,” he said.

My Homeland is Respected

The deputy to the National Assembly also emphasized that under no circumstance or argument does he accept that anyone speaks ill of the Homeland, referring to the statement released by Chile because of the pronouncement he made against the Head of State of Gabriel Boric.

“Even if you're right, I don't accept it. Our Homeland must be respected. In this regard, I am totally intransigent,” he stressed and pointed out that characters like Boric and Javier Milei, who meddle in internal affairs of Venezuela on orders from the United States, “are fakers that the accidents of history have put them there.”

“They get involved in Venezuelan affairs (...) You can call it whatever you call it, but if you mess with Venezuela I'm going to answer from wherever I am, I don't care, whoever you are,” he emphasized.

He also stressed that “it's not me who calls Boric a fool, his countrymen call him a fool and a whale, because he's a fool”.

“I'm not insulting anyone. They mess with Venezuela and I respond to them as a Venezuelan and as a patriot because I love my country,” he stressed.
