The use of new ICT by power-drunk billionaires constitutes a threat to the security and identity of the people, Arreaza said.
On Friday, Jorge Arreaza, the Secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), called for the development of technology to promote the well-being of the people and to protect them from the use of technologies by Western centers of power.

Accompanied by Venezuelan Science and Technology Minister Gabriela Jimenez, he participated in the First Meeting of Ministers and High Authorities in the Scientific and Technological Field of ALBA-TCP, which is taking place at the headquarters of the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry in Caracas.
Arreaza denounced that the use of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by power-drunk billionaires constitutes a threat to the security and identity of the people.
From the Western centers of power, they attempt to create “technological proletariats” that serve the profits of the powerful rather than the well-being of the people. “They threaten the minds and social life of the people,” the ALBA-TCP Secretary said.
“As Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel have rightly stated, we must generate, with our own capabilities, the technological sovereignty that allows us to improve our lives through technology while protecting our people,” he said.
“We must improve the lives of our people and protect them from imperialism, which seeks to impose its hegemony through threats that combine technology, unilateral restrictive measures, and military aggression,” he stressed one day after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio threatened military intervention in the Essequibo, a Venezuelan territory in dispute with Guyana.
After the July 2024 elections, in which Nicolas Maduro was re-elected as president, the U.S.-backed transnational right attempted to carry out a coup d’etat using modern technologies.
