The president of the National Assembly and secretary of the National Council for Sovereignty and Peace, Jorge Rodríguez, stressed that while the extreme right has requested and applauded multiple external aggressions against Venezuela, the Bolivarian Government has worked to consolidate a new economic model to evade the siege and the imperial blockade.

During the installation of the Council's Media Chapter, Rodríguez recalled that extremist sectors celebrate the harassment and persecution of Venezuelan migrants in the United States (USA), applaud the kidnapping of more than 250 compatriots in a concentration camp in El Salvador and “actively request invasions, bombing, aggression against Venezuela.”

“They are the same people who said in 2016: 'don't worry the population, sanctions are only for Chavista people. ' After 962 sanctions, we already know who the victims were and we already know who developed a system to combat and defeat sanctions, ourselves, those of us who live in this land, those of us who live in Venezuela,” he stressed.

Rodríguez emphasized that the Bolivarian Government worked “to build an economic system, a financial system and a commercial system that not only evaded the siege and blockade, but also promotes a new national economic system that is not exclusively dependent on oil wealth.”

“They need to reduce, minimize the telluric force that Venezuelans have, which can be summarized in three words (...) the word hope, the word joy and the word freedom. We are hopeful, we are cheerful and we are free and that burns too much for them,” he emphasized.
