The Sectorial Vice President for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, said that it is of fundamental importance for Venezuela to “collect all the good things that have existed in this country and discard the bad ones”, referring to the Amnesty Law.

On this subject, he asserted that in response to the proposal of the Amnesty Law by the president in charge of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, “in Chavismo there were people who didn't like it, maybe some in this room who identify with the Revolution, didn't like it.”

Despite this measure, Cabello maintained that many of them (who benefited from the Amnesty Act), “as my friend 'police' said, are thinking again of burning the country.”

“The President took the lead and presented it, it was approved and executed to take a step forward in the recognition and peace of this country,” he stressed in the state of Mérida, at the headquarters of the Foundation for the Development of Science and Technology (FUNDACITE) in the entity, where the Meeting for a Venezuela in Peace and Free of Sanctions is being held.

Cabello recalled that the opposition member Leopoldo López twice benefited from an amnesty measure by Commander Hugo Chávez, “to say something, well.”

“In truth they (extremism) don't want elections, they don't want to come to power, no, because governing is very difficult, those who have exercised government functions know that it's very difficult,” he said.

For this reason, he stressed that for the extreme right, politics “has become a business, it is a hammer all over the world, under the figure that he is a political persecuted person in Venezuela or that he is an exile (...) many of them are persecuted by the Condominium Board where they lived, because no one knows them”.

“It's a terrible narrative against our own country,” he said.
