This Thursday, January 08, at night, the Sectorial Vice President for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, during a tour of the streets of Caracas and the state of Miranda, stressed that Venezuela is in peace.
He argued that Venezuela is at peace, “and one of the fundamental reasons that Venezuela is at peace, and peace is guaranteed, is that the Venezuelan State has a monopoly on weapons.”
In this regard, on a broadcast of Venezolana de Televisión, he highlighted that he was meeting a group of officials from the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) and the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN).
“We all met here by chance in this square in O'Leary Square, first to inform the world that Venezuela is in peace,” he emphasized.
He stressed that Venezuelans “have been slowly reassembling ourselves after the attack that was carried out against our people against the peace of the country and that ended with the kidnapping of brother President Nicolás Maduro and our dear companion Cilia Flores.”
He also stated that “the weapons are in the possession of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces and the State security forces. Having the position of arms has allowed us control so that no group or anyone can claim acts of violence other than those caused on January 3 in the early morning by the United States government.”
The also Minister of People's Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace, asserted that “that tranquility that today our people, despite the proximity of that attack, has to do with the fact that the State has a monopoly on arms in Venezuela and we are guarantors of the country's tranquility thanks to the fact that we have that possibility.”
“You know that there are other countries where people have weapons at home and they go to a school and do a massacre, they go to a movie theater and commit a massacre, here in Venezuela the Venezuelan State has a monopoly on weapons and we have it guaranteed,” he said.
He also stressed the importance of the unity of the entire People, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) and the police forces to overcome the consequences of the criminal attack by the United States against Venezuelan territory, which led to the kidnapping of the Constitutional President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and his wife, the first Combatant, deputy Cilia Flores.
