On the night of this Wednesday, January 7th, in his Con El Mazo Dando program, the general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, highlighted his complaint regarding the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, who is in the United States as a prisoner of war.

“The President has been kidnapped and is a prisoner of war,” he emphasized while explaining the actions that the Venezuelan State has promoted to continue administrative continuity and institutional stability.

“President Nicolás Maduro has not fallen ill, he has not asked for permission (...) the president has been kidnapped and is in the condition of a prisoner of war in a cell in New York (...)”, he said and praised the dignity and courage that the national president has demonstrated during this kidnapping.

“The dignity with which he attended his indictment hearing, the firm answers, the smile always in adversity, the messages he sent us that we interpreted them (...) There is no real accusation against President Nicolás Maduro, not a single one, they are inventions,” he said.
