Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has issued today a powerful call for national unity, demanding the definitive cessation of the over 1,000 sanctions imposed against the Bolivarian Nation.
This Monday, the Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, led the delivery of the works of comprehensive rehabilitation of the National Educational Unit “Dr. José de Jesús Arocha”, with the aim of strengthening the country’s education system. Among the recovery works that were carried out, is the rehabilitation of spaces such as classrooms, kitchen, toilets, electrical installations, waterproofing, masonry and general painting.
During this significant event marking the handover of a newly rehabilitated educational facility, Rodríguez articulated the central objective of this popular movement.
She emphasized that the primary goal is to achieve a Venezuela capable of robustly producing and generating strategic income, which can then be directly channeled toward enhancing the social well-being of the Venezuelan people and improving the salaries of workers.
“I will not rest until every Venezuelan joins this national cry for the end of sanctions”, Rodríguez declared, highlighting her commitment to the cause.
In this sense, Delcy Rodríguez affirmed that the entire country has enthusiastically joined the “Great National Pilgrimage for a Venezuela Without Sanctions and in Peace“, advocating for the fundamental right to economic freedom and development unhindered by external and unilateral blockades.
Within the framework of the “Together Everything is Possible” agend (“Juntos todo es posible”, in Spanish), the Acting President proudly reported the successful recovery of over 1,700 educational facilities across the nation. She underscored that the return of children to these rehabilitated schools represents a tangible and direct outcome of sustained efforts to surmount the severe financial limitations and economic hardship stemming from the coercive measures imposed on the country.
Addressing the widespread mobilization across the national territory, Rodríguez described the citizen participation as “impressive”, particularly noting the massive turnout in the states of Zulia, Amazonas and Táchira.
Rodríguez further announced that the mobilization agenda continued this Monday in the states of Bolívar and Mérida, with plans for it to extend throughout the entire Venezuelan territory.
Rodríguez unequivocally stressed that the current moment represents a critical juncture for a national encounter and dialogue aimed at achieving a common and paramount objective: the cessation of economic hostilities. She reiterated the unwavering resolve of the Venezuelan State to remain steadfastly in the streets, proudly bearing the tricolor flag, to solidify national reconciliation and decisively overcome external pressures through peaceful coexistence.
This sustained effort seeks to foster internal unity as the most potent shield against foreign interference and economic strangulation, ensuring Venezuela’s path toward self-determination and prosperity. The government firmly believes that ending sanctions is not merely a privilege but a fundamental right essential for the nation’s development and the welfare of its citizens.
