The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, stated that the versions of an alleged negotiation between the extreme right wing María Corina Machado and the Bolivarian Government “are pure straw,” he said, pointing out that sectors of the opposition fabricate stories to generate expectations among their followers.

Cabello argued that these matrices are part of a repeated pattern: “They are straw trucks and trucks. They arrive, they tell their own story: that they met, that there were meetings. Pure straw. That's not rude, it's grass; it's your imagination at work.”

He recalled that in Venezuela there has been a permanent national dialogue since the arrival of Commander Hugo Chávez to the presidency, but clarified that this does not imply capitulation or fictitious agreements: “Chávez, coming out of a coup d'etat, called for dialogue. We know how to sit down and talk, but with them there is nothing on the table, and with her (Machado) less so”.

Cabello reiterated that there has been no meeting, in any country, between the president in charge Delcy Rodríguez and actors linked to Machado: “They make their story, tell it to them and begin to repeat it.”

The leader pointed out that the opposition cannot impose demands: “They are not in a position to do so. That's pure straw!”
