“In the country there is absolute normality, there is political stability. Everything is absolutely calm and there is dialogue,” said Jesús Fanía, the deputy before the National Assembly (AN) for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), commenting on the political and social landscape in the program “Opening Doors”, broadcast by Venevisión.
He said that “you can't be saying that there was fraud here, but when there is an attempted invasion by a foreign force that is going to cause war, they remain silent. They are cowards.”
Faria said that the letter signed by the opposition member Edmundo González Urrutia was made public after his arrival in Spain for a reason: “there was a commitment that he would leave the country under conditions of capitulation, surrender.”
He added that he committed himself “not to install any parallel government abroad (...) and where he committed himself to contributing to dialogue (...) When he assumes positions again as elected president, decreed and declared by international bodies (...), when that step is taken, then we are forced to demonstrate what a commitment was”.
Regarding the statements González, in which he indicated that he signed this commitment under duress, Fanía stressed that “if there was indeed coercion, which is an infamy (...), the Spanish government is involved there because it occurred at the headquarters of the Spanish government, which was the embassy, and with the ambassador in charge”.
Faced with this, he ruled that “either González Urrutia is lying or the Spanish government participated in coercion as supposedly happened according to the versions”.
Regarding the request of the president of the AN, deputy Jorge Rodríguez to break diplomatic and commercial relations with Spain, he noted that the commission made the recommendation confirming that position.
“That recommendation (...) was read last Thursday and was approved by the entire National Assembly,” he said. He also explained that “international relations are not determined by the Parliament, it can take positions and it assumes them, recommends and defends them”.
On the insistence of some former candidates and opposition leaders to annul the elections, Fanía pointed out that “this is a country where institutions work. If they have the right to resort to different instances of the public authorities and they can do it, let them do it.”
“They have lost any kind of legitimacy. They don't have any kind of moral or political authority to request anything, but there are the institutions,” he emphasized.
