This Monday, January 06, the sectoral vice-president for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, highlighted that homicide rates in Venezuela have fallen significantly thanks to coordinated and implemented security policies.

“Today, the homicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants of Venezuela are not only below international standards, but I think that hardly any country can reach these numbers; we have only 4 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants,” Cabello said during a press conference.

He also recalled that in Venezuela before, in the Fourth Republic, it was common for young people to be killed for a pair of shoes. “That was a reality, but there are sectors that have wanted us to forget, not to remember that. How many young people lost their lives for a pair of shoes?” , he said.

On the other hand, he highlighted the work that has also been done “in the area of fires, emergencies; the calls that our country has had, invitations to other countries for disaster support , there is very important coordination”.
