The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, this Wednesday, May 6, stressed his absolute respect for minorities, but minorities cannot impose themselves on majorities.

“In the National Assembly there is a majority that is the result of elections in which many of them (extremists) said they would not participate. That was a little while ago, and they didn't participate and is that our fault?” , he stressed.

Cabello commented that those same people who refused to participate on that occasion, “are now calling to participate, be consistent, okay.”

The statement was made when referring to the statement made by the extremist opponent María Corina Machado regarding compliance with the regulations established in the National Constitution, to elect a new National Electoral Council (CNE).

“It's good that they want the Constitution (...) a lot of things are clarified. The Constitution? Of course, we are going to apply it, but in all its Articles, such as the 350 that talks about betrayal of the Fatherland,” he highlighted in his Con El Mazo Dando program, broadcast number 569.

In this context, Cabello argued that currently the extremist right is questioning whether there should be a plural Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) or any other office, “and when they seized in 2015 (the National Assembly) and appointed their Supreme Court in exile, who did they ask?”
