The first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, highlighted this Saturday the reasons why the most basic structures nominated and support the candidacy of President Nicolás Maduro.

“The People have collected from the assemblies to keep the peace, to preserve the bases of the Bolivarian Historical Project, as well as Chavism as its political unit of expression, it has not strayed from the project of Commander (Hugo) Chávez; it was very easy to do it, if it had moved away from the original project we would not have the more than 900 sanctions that we have right now, but since we stood firm in the hand of Nicolás, of our President, there is imperialism attacking us,” said Cabello during the V Congress of the PSUV.

He also highlighted that another reason why the rank and file supported President Maduro was because of his actions to protect the people in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We can also mention the CLAP, the CLAP was not a group of NASA scientists who met one day, no, it was this man who one day in the Assembly said 'God will provide' and they mocked; what they don't know is that when we say that we are going to give birth with soul and spirit to make things happen (...) and it was an idea of President Maduro, the CLAP; and how many barriers were not overcome to bring vaccines here for all Venezuelans regardless of political color,” he said.

He stressed that another strong reason is that “in the midst of sanctions, blockade and persecution, he has managed to implement a complex and comprehensive program of recovery, growth and economic prosperity, with his own efforts, with his own, native ideas, without help from anyone, only with the soul and spirit of the People who accompanied him in this battle.”

In the same way, he indicated that the support is also due to the fact that the National Executive has exercised “responsibly and with sound decisions its leadership as Chief Commander of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, a true leadership within the institution that is the fundamental support of any country.”

He also pointed to the peace diplomacy that has been the flag of the Revolution and for his call for dialogue with the revolutionary truth always at the forefront.

In the same way, he stressed that, among other reasons, it is because of his collective leadership and the policies with a critical spirit that he has promoted to continue consolidating the Bolivarian Revolution.
