In an activity in “Commemoration of Anti-Imperialism Day”, for the 8th anniversary of the decree of former US president, Barack Obama. Where he classified Venezuela as a “threat to the national security” of the US on March 9, 2015.

The deputy warned that although the US presents two faces, “what it did with Venezuela was a true orchestrated plan.”

“The dialogues are not for forgiveness, the dialogues are to agree in the terms in which it can be agreed.” He emphasized by pointing out that there are political actors who must respond to the Venezuelan justice system.

Breach of agreements

Regarding the Venezuelan oppositions, Rodríguez recalled his participation in the different dialogue processes.

On this, he recounted that, while the world was plunged into uncertainty due to the Covid-19. President Nicolás Maduro invited the representatives of the opposition to postpone the tirade and face together the fight for the health of the Venezuelan people. But they refused and used the pandemic as a mechanism to persist in the aggression. They stole shipments of face masks, and refused to allow a fraction of the seized resources to be used to purchase medical supplies and vaccines.

Regarding the word of these opposition sectors, he referred to the signing of the social agreement in November 2022 to rescue three billion dollars from those social resources. It has not been possible to comply, since the response of the Biden administration was to send a letter to the UN saying that they did not guarantee the security of those funds.
