During a meeting with the victims of hate and violence of the extreme right in the country, this Monday the president in charge of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, ratified her commitment to peaceful coexistence to end the hatred promoted by some political sectors.
From the Miraflores Palace, Rodríguez recalled what Commander Hugo Chávez meant to the country in the face of these expressions of hate, stressing that with the arrival of the Bolivarian Revolution there was inclusion, and it also meant “bringing vast sectors of Venezuelan society, the poorest, to bring them to the table and to be recognized.”
However, he stressed that the “germ of hatred, class hatred, racism, discrimination against the different, against the different”, inherited from the point-fixist governments, remained, which is why the Law for Peaceful Coexistence against Expressions of Hate and Intolerance was created.
The president in charge recalled the military aggression of last January 3 by the United States (USA). “When I had to assume this responsibility for such a complex and unprecedented situation (...) the first thing I thought of was the program of coexistence, of democratic coexistence for peace, in which hatred led us to this, because such was the hatred of a class in this country, of an economic and political class, such was the hatred against Venezuelan and Venezuelan sectors, that he came to ask for foreign intervention what could not be solved in national politics, they asked for it with missiles, with bombs,” he criticized.
He reiterated that “what politics could not resolve, a nuclear military power in this hemisphere was asked to come and solve it in the country, and I thought, the first thing to cure is hate,” he emphasized, recalling that “there is a human group of diverse people who are on the program of democratic coexistence to see how we heal hate, those expressions of intolerance, of not recognizing the different, the one who thinks differently, the one who has a different creed, the one who has a different sexual expression.”
