The Venezuelan president also asked mayors and governors elected in the November elections not to be “an obstacle” for the emergence of new leaderships.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro admitted on Wednesday that “Indolence, incapacity, corruption, inefficiency” that he claims to have seen in the country “It’s worse than the gringo blockade”.
“The blockade of the heart and mind, the indolence, the incapacity, the corruption, the inefficiency is worse than the gringo blockade, so I say today, December 1, 2021,” Maduro said in reference to the US sanctions. In the US, during the swearing-in ceremony of the new governor of the central Aragua state, the ruling party Karina Carpio.
He then added that all this “it is worse than the gringo blockade because there are many problems, there are many issues (…) that are resolved with a little work, attention, love ”.
“Some leaders with specific responsibilities, such as governors, as mayors, as ministers, have been victims of another blockade that is worse still, the mental blockade. And they have moved away from the people, they have stopped listening to the people, they have been encapsulated in their offices, and when the elections come they go out to look for the votes, “he added.
On the other hand, the president asked the mayors and governors elected in the elections of last November 21 that do not be “an obstacle” for the emergence of new leaderships and he appealed to them to ease the way for those who have new projects and ideas.
“We have to be (a) permanent instrument of renewal, of improvement, of strength. None of us has to become, as mayor or governor, a hindrance, a plug, so that new leaderships do not grow,” he considered.
During the act, broadcast by the state channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), he insisted that, who does not allow the development of these “new leaderships”, “It is killing the future of the country”.
In this regard, he insisted that “the charges are not to be lowered” and assured that the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) “will take exemplary measures” if someone “manipulated” its primaries.
In this sense, he assured that those people who manipulated the primaries, whose names he promised to give soon, “They clouded the primaries beyond” what he believed and “divided the people because they wanted to remain encapsulated in office.”
Finally, he reiterated that, in his Government, they are still reviewing the results of the recent regional and local elections in which they obtained victory in 19 of the 23 states, in addition to Caracas, but considered that they could “have obtained more votes.”
“Well where we won and well where we lost, too, because you have to learn and feel that lash of the people to rectify, get rid of vices, bureaucracy, corruption and start the path again on the path of (the late President Hugo) Chávez” , he concluded. (I)
