This Tuesday, May 21, the deputy Diosdado Cabello Rondón assured that in the Fifth Republic “there must be justice” and no crime, particularly hate crime such as that of Orlando Figuera, can go unpunished.

Speaking at this Tuesday's session of the National Assembly (AN), he recalled how dozens of murders committed for political causes went unpunished during the Fourth Republic. “We are not revanchists, but it is prudent to remember how Jorge Rodríguez (president of the AN) was murdered his father. What justice was there? And Congressman Fernando Soto Rojas had his brother murdered and his mother was paying for advertisements in the press asking to be informed where her son was: Was there justice? No. That's why we have to differentiate ourselves, we have to guarantee justice.”

Seven years ago, the 21-year-old Orlando Figuera was burned alive in Altamira, Chacao municipality, during the 2017 guarimbas organized by the fascist opposition, and to date his culprits have not faced justice.
