The sectoral vice-president of Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, assured that the Great National Pilgrimage, convened by the president in charge of the Republic, Delcy R. Rodríguez, completed its first phase successfully because it was the great demonstration of a people that demands a Venezuela free of sanctions.

“The pilgrimage was an extraordinary day all over Venezuela; from Amazonas to Caracas, from Zulia to Caracas and from Táchira to Caracas (...) a great demonstration across the country of a people who want a Venezuela that can breathe and fly free, without sanctions,” said Cabello during his Con El Mazo Dando program No. 569.

He also stressed that the “pilgrimage was not just an act of faith, it was a demonstration of the moral strength that this People has. While some people bet on hate, we find ourselves on the street, embraced in hope and in popular organization. The success we saw is the clear response of a Venezuela that wants to continue following the path of tranquility and sovereignty.”

He appreciated that during this great call, all sectors were heard in “assemblies, meetings, where contributions were made to be incorporated into a document by the country”.

He reaffirmed that this is part of continuing to strengthen us as a country internally. “ We are doing it and we will continue to do it, united (...) for Venezuela it will be the best times of many years; good things are coming for Venezuela, without a doubt,” he said.

He stressed that now the Great Pilgrimage is going to the second phase. “We are going to do a phase now by sector, starting with the productive sector, the women's sector, and with other little things that we are adding to listen to people, to listen to our people, our people are very wise and have extraordinary wisdom,” she said.

At the same time, he dismissed personal allegations that seek to divert attention from the success of the national mobilization. “He says I hate him,” he said, pointing out that while the right wing is taking refuge in technological excuses not to admit its lack of support, the People are still mobilized in peace and with people of flesh and blood.

Far right insists on defending drug traffickers and murderers

The Minister of Popular Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace also questioned the sectors of the Venezuelan extreme right, who at the time criticized the Amnesty Law, but insist that it had to protect drug traffickers and murderers.

“They are demanding drug traffickers, and they are right because we have told them here; that part of the money to finance conspiracies against Venezuela comes from drug trafficking. That's why they're complaining, a bit of vagrant mayors who lent their territory to traffic drugs and murderers,” he said.

He also called on these sectors to be coherent, since after the enactment of the Amnesty Law, what he was doing was criticizing it. “The Amnesty Act is over and now they say, where is the amnesty law so good as it was? They have to be consistent, please, even if it's once in your life (...) You can't be talking back and forth every day, that shows a lack of seriousness,” he said.

He pointed out that those same sectors do the same with the Magna Carta, since for them it is good one day, but not the next. “It's good for inventing pods that aren't in it and they hold on to the Constitution, but when they tell them, no, you have to comply with the Constitution, they come and say 'I don't believe in that Constitution'”.

For this reason, he reaffirmed that it is not explained how these sectors criticized it when the Amnesty Law was enacted, now that it is finished they are asking for it again. In turn, he stated that there are no political prisoners in Venezuela.

Respect for minorities yes, but they can never be imposed on majorities

Cabello highlighted his absolute respect for minorities, but minorities cannot impose themselves on majorities, highlighting the actions of the opposition in the National Assembly (AN) and in the face of the call for the renewal of a new National Electoral Council (CNE) for elections.

“In the AN 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.

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

Likewise, he argued that currently the right wing questions that there should be a plural Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) or any other office, “and when they seized (the National Assembly) in 2015 and appointed their Supreme Court in exile, who did they ask?”

For this reason, he affirmed that what is established in the Constitution will be enforced, but “we are going to apply it in all its Articles, such as the 350 that speaks of betrayal of the Fatherland,” he added.

We are going to recover the gold held abroad and the company CITGO

The revolutionary leader reaffirmed that the Bolivarian Government will make every possible effort to recover ownership of Venezuelan assets, assets and companies abroad.

“That's coming (...) we're going to recover the gold held abroad and the company CITGO,” he said.

He also revealed that sectors of extremism had offered to “help” to recover Venezuelan gold in the Bank of England in exchange for hiding the responsibilities for embezzlement and embezzlement that derive from the audit carried out on the Venezuelan company located in the United States.

Regarding the relationship between the sectors of the extreme right and the theft of CITGO, he said that “no one can steal with impunity, it is always discovered and things will come out”.

Longliners from the far right are on sale

Cabello assured that the longliners of the Venezuelan extreme right are tariffs that are now on sale, to see if someone names them and buys them some of the lies they sell about Venezuela.

“Those journalists, if they have a price and right now they are cheap, on offer, 3x2, pay three and take five, you know them,” he said, referring to the fact that the longliners no longer know what to invent and that is why they tried to impose that the matrix that the mobilization of the pilgrimage was false.

In addition, he stressed that in their desperation, longliners write to see if he names them in his program. “I'm not going to name them, if I'm not naming them for something it will be, you're eliminated; because also when I name them they charge,” he said.

He specified that longliners even mess with cooperating patriots, to see if they appear in El Mazo. In addition, it was emphasized that while these sectors are trying to impose matrices against Venezuela, here a people took to the streets to demand that sanctions against the country be lifted.

The false flag operation over Venezuela's alleged attack against Guyana is absurd

The Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela also described it as “strange” and “absurd” to report an alleged Venezuelan attack just as the State is taking legal and diplomatic action before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague in defense of the territory of Guiana Essequiba.

In addition, he assured that this false flag operation on the border with Guyana is linking with the people of María Corina Machado.

“ That's square with María Corina Machado's people here in Venezuela,” he denounced, stressing that this narrative seeks to hinder the defense of Venezuelan territory.

For this reason, he emphasized that “you have to be very stupid to believe that we, from Venezuela, are going to do something like that the same day we go to that place. What a chimbo they are!” , he asserted.
