This Sunday, April 19, the president of the National Assembly (AN), Deputy Jorge Rodríguez, emphasized that Venezuela must be able to participate in any economic activity and in all international scenarios “without the traps, without the chains of sanctions.”

“We have come a long way in these 100 days of government, of the president in charge. Just having lifted 14 sanctions, you can already tell that 'Venezuela is sounding or', you can already tell that the economy is becoming more dynamic,” he highlighted in Puerto Ayacucho, in the state of Amazonas, on the occasion of the Great Pilgrimage United for a Venezuela without Sanctions and in Peace.

In that regard, he said that “imagine if with the national union, we managed to lift all sanctions, that all foreign companies come, and all economic activities are carried out, so that our people recover prosperity.”

He assured that the objective is to strengthen social investment, as well as to significantly improve the salaries and incomes of the People.

Rodríguez said that April 19, “is the perfect day for the beginning of the pilgrimage across the country. We are in the perfect place (...) our Father (Bolivar) protects us, on the banks of the Orinoco River”.
