At a recent press conference, Diosdado Cabello, the first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), addressed the issue of the release of Venezuelans involved in acts of terrorism and violence, emphasizing that the extremist opposition is using this situation to generate a media scandal.

Cabello stated that the detainees, whose releases have generated controversy, were captured thanks to self-generated evidence, such as videos and social media posts documenting their criminal actions.“They believed that they would win, and it did not matter after the heroes,” said Cabello.

He also revealed that the motivations behind these publications were twofold: the illusion of triumph and an attempt to instill fear in the Venezuelan population.

Cabello did not hold back criticism of the opposition, accusing it of instrumentalizing the situation of detainees to maintain relevance in the political landscape. “They don’t really care about the welfare of prisoners; their goal is to create a media spectacle that allows them to stay in the spotlight,” he said.

Regarding the elections on July 28, Cabello was blunt in stating that Nicolás Maduro will be the only president sworn in on January 10. Therefore, he reiterated the stability and popular support for the Bolivarian government, urging citizens to remain alert to the destabilizing maneuvers of the opposition.

The press conference concluded with a call for unity and resistance against any attempts at media manipulation, assuring that the government will continue to work for peace and security in the country.
