This Wednesday, May 22, the first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, stressed that the crime against the young Orlando Figuera, on May 21, 2017, was not investigated during the administration of the former Attorney General of the Republic, the fugitive from justice Luisa Ortega, because “it was part of the plan, of the denial of justice, of impunity”.

He explained that at that time “there was that prosecutor, who said in the investigation that it had been the product of a fight, and that she could not open any investigation because those videos were manipulated.”

“No, it was part of the plan, of the denial of justice, of impunity, that's why the monster of Salamanca was only set on fire (in the investigation) And the 43 deaths caused by their call for violence?” , he stressed.

Cabello highlighted that even the extreme right accuses the Bolivarian Government of what happened to Figuera, “when they go to file their filthy complaints over there (international organizations), they accuse us.”

He specified that the masterminds of this murder were "Leopoldo López, María Corina Machado, Borges, Ramos Allup, Ledezma, Capriles, the same as always”.

He recalled that at the regular session of the National Assembly (AN), held last Tuesday, May 21, his proposal was approved and a real, timely and immediate investigation was ordered to be opened into the murder of the 21-year-old boy and the whereabouts of the murderers. “The Fatherland Bloc caucus approved that investigation,” he said.

He stressed that it is public, notorious and communicational that the murderer of Figuera, “is protected by the Spanish government, he is not a political persecuted person, he is a murderer, who set fire to a human being, just looking like a Chavista, being black and having frizzy hair”.

During his Con El Mazo Dando program, broadcast number 477, Cabello commented that the murder of the young Pedro Josue Carrillo is unpunished, “they also burned him alive in Barquisimeto (...) seven years later this young man has not been served justice either”, for that reason, he added that “we should not be left alone with the murder of Orlando Figuera”,

“Our martyrs hurt us deeply,” he said.
