This Wednesday, December 6, the head of the faction for the Fatherland Bloc, deputy Diosdado Cabello, stressed that after the overwhelming victory of “yes” in the Consultative Referendum in Defense of Guiana Esequiba, “now it comes, to execute the mandate of the People, this is indeed a mandate of the People, with all its characteristics.”
Also, during the extraordinary session of the National Assembly (AN), he recalled that although “there were one and a thousand attempts to torpedo and sabotage the democratic, participatory and leading exercise of our People in an event as important as the territorial integrity established in our Constitution, (...) this Consultation was carried out, with all success, it was a great victory from end to end, from north to south, from east to west, throughout the national territory”.
He stressed that the opposition after the results, “since they have no way of refuting the numbers, the first thing that occurred to them to say is that it was 'not binding', that was the argument they were handling. There are media that are still trying to sell smoke, so everyone makes their own ladder what they want, they made it an anime and their ladder falls by itself”.
In that regard, he said that article 70 of our Constitution establishes the binding nature of the Consultative Referendum.
At the same time , he presented the draft Organic Law for the Defense of Guiana Esequiba and explained that it is intended to ensure the sovereignty and integrity of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and is composed of 22 articles, distributed in four chapters. “It's an organic law and then special laws will be created; complementary to its integral development,” he said.
He explained that the first chapter is intended to regulate the fundamental provisions, highlighting the declaration of the irrite nature of the Arbitral Award of 1899, as well as the ratification of Venezuela's historic position on the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.
The second chapter is related to the creation of the Guayana Esequiba state, including the regulation of the exercise of public power in that territorial political entity, “of course this is now being debated”.
The third chapter develops a set of specific actions for the protection of the territory of Guiana Essequiba. These measures highlight the regulation of the use of the political map of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the declaration of the nation's historical document and fundamental resources of best interest to the State of all information that has a direct or indirect relationship with the territory of Guiana Esequiba.
Meanwhile, the fourth chapter contains four transitional provisions, which establish a temporary regime for the exercise of Public Power, until a practical and mutually acceptable solution is reached with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, regarding the territorial dispute and electoral processes can be carried out and in the territory in the territory of Guiana Essequiba.
