The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, highlighted the work being done by the Bolivarian Government, led by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, to ensure that the country is a territory free of drug crops and transit for drug trafficking.

From his Con El Mazo Dando program, in his 535 broadcast this Wednesday, July 16, he highlighted the recent seizure of 3,075 kilos of cocaine that were being transported in a submarine belonging to drug trafficking gangs, which he intended to cross Venezuelan waters.

“Yesterday a submarine, they were carrying a large amount of drugs, we followed them and we caught four Colombians with 3,075 kilos of cocaine (...) We have the trace of the vessel, the information arrived and we followed up,” he explained and highlighted that the fierce fight waged by the Venezuelan authorities against drug trafficking has resulted in the number of drugs seized in six months compared to what was recorded in all of 2024.

“Venezuela has a fight to the death against drug trafficking! (...) Before the end of June, we had confiscated more than last year,” he exalted, while questioning the American rhetoric that seeks to hide the ineffectiveness of that country in the fight against trafficking in narcotic substances.

“What is the main place where drug trafficking money is laundered in the world? United States! Banks in the United States (USA). We are here if we give a blow to drug trafficking, but who in this world has seen a drug trafficking cartel being seized in the United States? No, not even in the movies! In movies, everything always explodes so you don't find anything and they put explosive paint on ships that shoot them and it explodes,” he said.

He condemned the silence of media controlled by extremist media operators regarding Venezuela's achievements in the fight against drug trafficking and did not hesitate to point out the links of its journalists and owners with Colombian drug cartels.

“Longliners who charge for drug trafficking dare not say what I said, which was 3,075 kilograms of cocaine; the headline of them is: 'They grabbed four Colombians with a supposed stash of drugs', they don't dare to say because that 's where the talk is,” he said.

He stated that the Bolivarian Government, after the expulsion of Venezuela from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) mission, has far surpassed this body, which has been questioned for facilitating the transit of drugs.

“We here have seized more drugs than the DEA, I don't know what they're going to do to include their Fake News, but here we have seized more drugs than the DEA, especially Álvaro Uribe's drug,” he said.

The Mazo is perseverance and teamwork!

On the other hand, he drew attention to a growing international campaign of attacks on the program With the Mazo Dando by media linked to the right and extreme right in the world.

“They are planning something,” he warned and warned that these actions seek to delegitimize the truths that are made visible from this information and opinion space.

“Telling the truth in El Mazo is what martyrs the program's detractors and makes them worried because the truth is being told, and here it's very easy because I don't invent anything, I just put what they say on the bulletin board,” he said.

He recalled that this space was born as an initiative of President Maduro to wage the communication battle that had been promoted by the media of the global right against the Bolivarian Revolution after the physical departure of Supreme Commander Hugo Chávez.

In this regard, he highlighted the work of all those who make up the Con El Mazo Dando team and emphasized that this trench will continue its work of telling the truth with the language of the People.

“This program is perseverance, teamwork, that is, what no one said before in our way, don't expect me to say what they are in their own way, no, you have been looking for a way to communicate with the people and there we have teacher Hugo Chávez,” he remarked.

The opposition called for the sanctions!

The Sectorial Vice President of Politics, Citizen Security and Peace referred to the unilateral coercive measures that the United States and its European allies have illegally imposed against Venezuela to seek a social explosion and recalled that these were requested by the Venezuelan opposition leadership.

In this regard, he denounced that as part of the onslaught of this anti-Venezuelan policy, the U.S. government is currently promoting a campaign of criminalization and persecution of Venezuelan migrants, which has led to the execution of the atrocious policy of child abduction.

“A child cannot be separated from their parents, but the United States does it on purpose to cause harm to the country, to our children and young people, and all of Venezuela must be clear about who asked for it (...) it wasn't the Government. No! The whole country must be clear that the opposition was the one who called for sanctions,” he said.

He reiterated that Venezuela requires respect for Venezuelan migrants and that they be returned to the country without conditions.

“We ask that they give us our people and our children that we are going to receive them with love and hand them over to their parents. Let them give us the families they have separated there,” he stressed.

Ecclesiastical hierarchy continues to conspire!

Meanwhile, he also referred to the role assumed by the ecclesiastical hierarchy that has turned its back on the People in promoting the conspiratorial agenda of opposition extremism.

“That ecclesiastical hierarchy continues to conspire just the same, they are not going to stop conspiring,” he said and reported that evidence of these actions on the part of the clergy is the actions of Cardinal Baltazar Porras, who is managing a meeting between the fugitive Edmundo González and the Vatican's Undersecretary of State, Cardinal Prieto Parolín.

He deplored that this sector of the church is dedicated to these activities and maintains a complicit silence in the face of atrocities committed against Venezuelan migrants by right-wing governments in the continent.

“ They don't say anything about Venezuelan children kidnapped in the United States... they are immoral, absolutely immoral, shameless scoundrels, they are not really priests, they are adecos with cassocks and they have run out of AD,” he criticized.

On 28J we are going to celebrate!

Cabello highlighted the importance of the upcoming municipal elections on July 27, when the First Popular Youth Consultation will also be held.

“The idea is that we vote for both and express our political position and about the popular government,” he explained while expressing confidence in the triumph of the revolutionary forces “that we are going for victory in the 335 mayors”.

In view of this, he confirmed that Venezuelans will have reason to celebrate the day after the elections and the Popular Consultation, which also coincides with one year since the victory of President Maduro in the presidential elections, the birth of Commander Chávez and a possible sentence against former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe for the atrocious crimes committed by his government in alliance with paramilitarism and drug trafficking.

“Venezuela and the world will have reasons to celebrate July 28: we celebrate the victory of the elections of mayors and councilors and the Popular Consultation, the first year of President Maduro's administration, we celebrate the birthday of Commander Hugo Chávez and now we are going to celebrate the conviction of Mataraife,” he said.

European Parliament a mobster's nest...

The Minister for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace also criticized the European Parliament, which he described as a mobster's nest, for its intention to point out alleged money laundering to Venezuela, while silencing the flagrant offer made to drug trafficking by the far-right Javier Milei with a law to facilitate the entry of capital without oversight.

“The European Parliament is not the European Union, but a collegial body formed by the political waste of the countries, the mobsters are called candidates for that parliament, from there they constitute their mafias and they say that Venezuela is at risk of money laundering (...), but they don't say anything about Milei and her proposal to receive funds in the Argentine financial system regardless of their origin or origin,” he criticized.

He emphasized the determination to combat illegal activities and emphasized that the Bolivarian Government “has no intention of laundering money from anyone because that has not been a State policy.”
