Caracas, 25 Mar. AVN.- Three million signatures have already been collected since last Thursday, as part of the campaign Venezuela is not a threat, but a hope, to demand the repeal of the decree issued by the United States government, which termed the Venezuelan nation “an extraordinary and unusual threat.”
In his weekly program In Touch with Maduro, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro welcomed the strong mobilization of the Venezuelan people across the country to collect signatures, as it shows the consciousness of the people.
“Venezuela is not a threat to the people of the United States, we are a land of peace, this is the biggest threat that Venezuela has received in its history,” the president said from the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas.
In addition, the head of state thanked the members of the revolutionary bloc before the National Assembly (AN), who approved an agreement in support of the campaign to demand the repeal of US Decree.
The agreement, proposed by socialist lawmaker Blanca Eekhout, was approved in ordinary session by the revolutionary bench and with the dissenting vote of parliamentarians from the coalition of opposition parties MUD, who refused to sign the document in defense of national sovereignty.
In this regard, the Head of State said that opposition deputies of the National Assembly (AN) are in favor of imperial interests as never before, as evidenced by their refusal to endorse the agreement.
“I feel ashamed for opposition deputies because only three of them signed, the parliamentary fraction of Primero Justicia party left the National Assembly, but they did sign the decree of Carmona (which eliminated all public authorities in April 2002), their gaze expressed hatred because they are the fifth column of peace in Venezuela,” he said.
Furthermore, the first lady, Cilia Flores signed her name for peace in Venezuela, demanding the repeal of the executive order issued by President Barack Obama.
It is expected that 10 million signatures are collected before the 7th Summit of the Americas, scheduled for 10 and 11 April in Panama, to be handed over to President Obama.
