This Wednesday, November 11, during his Con El Mazo Dando program, the general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, recalled that in Venezuela, in the last century, a society of accomplices represented by the political leadership of Democratic Action (AD) and Copei, was established, which persecuted those who reported government corruption.

“Here Democratic Action and Copei functioned as a society of accomplices where there was no justice, and if anyone dared to denounce corruption, they were persecuted, as happened to Alfredo Tarre Murzi, who was beaten by men sent by then-president Jaime Lusinchi,” he recalled.

He stressed that these organizations fell short in terms of militancy due to their moral degradation, and are currently very small.
