The first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, highlighted this Monday that the revolutionary forces have experienced exponential growth due to the devaluation of the extremist sectors of the opposition, from the destabilizing events of 2019 to the new attempts of the right to disturb the peace of the people.

During the usual weekly press conference with the red awning, Cabello recalled that in 2019, extremism, with the support of some presidents of the region, subordinated to North American imperialism, tried to invade Venezuela on February 23 of that year, when the Bolivarian Revolution gave a “courageous but very naive” response.

In this regard, he said that “today we are not in that same situation neither on the 17th nor on the 18th nor on the 19th, no, we are in another situation and they are not in the same situation as that time (...) I think our growth is greater, but much greater, given the capacity for devaluation that they have had, much greater, it is like 80 20. We have grown up and they are almost at ground level,” he said.

Cabello indicated that the Bolivarian Revolution has “grown in strength, in morals, in preparation, in knowledge of the adversary (...) It's not the same situation, we don't trust each other, we don't make the very serious mistake of underestimating the enemy, the enemy of the country, but we don't make the mistake of overestimating either.”

He added that “if we don't fall into that in 2019, we went almost with our chests open for Táchira, especially now that we have the strength, that we have the organized people, that we have the much more cohesive party, the Great Patriotic Pole, that we have that extraordinary initiative of the popular-military-police fusion.”

“Well, we are not going to underestimate them, what yes, they know, is that we are much more prepared than before, much more aware and much more determined to defend the Homeland,” he emphasized.
