Authorities, teachers and university students submitted their proposals to the National Assembly (AN) this Friday, November 13, for the reform of the Constitutional Law against Hate, for Peaceful Coexistence and Tolerance, said the first vice-president of Parliament, deputy Pedro Infante.
The contributions were delivered during the National Public Consultation Day of the Anti-Hate Law Reform Project, which was held in the auditorium of the Botanical Garden of the Central University of Venezuela (UCV).
At the meeting, Infante explained that the objective of these days is to collect proposals from different sectors prior to the second discussion in the Legislative Parliament.
He also emphasized that the reform seeks to consolidate a meeting point where each sector feels that it gives way and wins in favor of peace, respect and peaceful coexistence.
The parliamentarian explained that, during the activity on the academic campus, both proposals and constructive criticisms were received aimed at improving the legal text.
The professor of the UCV and deputy of the AN, Maigualida Barrera, proposed to give this legal regulation a focus on respect for national heritage, such as popular power, native peoples, flora and fauna that were so harmed in moments of violence.
For her part, the deputy Amelia Belisario of the Libertad Parliamentary Group, affirmed that the legal instrument must call for coexistence, democracy and peace.
“Repealing fear and hate implies the commitment of Venezuelans, returning to the Constitution and respect for citizens; we are betting that the country will recover the trust, dignity and guarantee of all Venezuelans,” he stressed.
In this regard, the law student at the Bolivarian University of Venezuela (UBV), Eddy Ruiz, described the draft reform of the Anti-Hate Law as transcendental, assuring that the updating of the legal instrument represents a key transformation to guarantee peace, balance and citizen coexistence.
