This Wednesday during the broadcast of Con El Mazo Dando program number 573, Diosdado Cabello Rondón analyzed the political behavior of various figures who have left the ranks of Chavism to approach opposition sectors.

The leader pointed out that this phenomenon, although it generates indignation in the militancy, makes it possible to clarify ideological positions and strengthen the revolutionary structure from within, consolidating a more cohesive block faithful to the legacy of Commander Hugo Chávez.

“There have been cases about liberal Chavism. They have found in María Corina Machado, alias La Sayona, the candidates they did not find in Chavism. They claimed to be Chavistas and ended up supporting María Corina,” he emphasized.

In this regard, he recalled that, in the face of the teachings of Commander Chávez, this behavior is unacceptable for those who maintain the revolutionary commitment, specifically mentioning individuals who have betrayed their previous political trajectory by aligning themselves with the opposition leadership.

Delving into these cases, he explained: “Those of us who somehow pass by the Red Flag are outraged. (Gabriel) Puerta Aponte is looking after María Corina, to name one. Don't be surprised that (Oscar) Figuera comes out too, Rodrigo Cabezas; people, all these processes serve to strengthen the internal.”

He stressed that these political definitions are necessary to purify the ranks and separate those who never really shared the essence of the Bolivarian Revolution from those who remain loyal to the socialist project and reiterated that this type of movement ends up being an exercise of political transparency that benefits the party.

He stressed that the PSUV continues to focus on its organizational deployment and on the consolidation of a collective consciousness that transcends the individualities and conjunctural interests of those who decide to leave.
