The president in charge of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, led this Monday a Meeting with the Victims of Hate and Violence in the country, and confirmed her commitment to justice in each of the causes, following the enactment of the Law on Amnesty and Democratic Coexistence.

“We have known each other for a long time because we have been very close to each of the causes; I am also going to speak as a victim of pointfixism and I hear the pain that a mother can feel when losing a child (...) because there, too, it must be said that in the violence of 2014, 2017, State security officials died precisely fighting violent demonstrations,” Rodríguez recalled from the Miraflores Palace, in Caracas.

He said that, during these violent demonstrations, the extreme right used practically war devices “and there we lost officials of the Venezuelan State, the son of Mrs. Zoraida, Captain Bracho of the National Guard, is an example of so many others who lost their lives.”

Another example used by the president in charge was that of Orlando Figuera, who described it as one of “the most terrible expressions of hate crimes (...) and if we review the history of Venezuela, we will realize that in political violence there have been several factors triggering it”, such as the social and political exclusion “of those who have had projects to surrender national sovereignty”.
