The vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, warned that Venezuela’s opposition wants to hide its failures with violence. However, he assured, the government will not fall for these provocations.
This Monday, February 26, during the weekly press conference of the PSUV National Directorate, Cabello was asked about the national tour that the opposition leader, MarĂa Corina Machado, is undertaking. Despite being disqualified from holding public office, Machado continues to behave as though she is campaigning.
In this regard, the PSUV leader stated that this sector of Venezuela’s political opposition attempts to disguise its failures by inciting violence, which is why “they pay motorists and people to go to the marches.” However, he said, “we are not going to fall for their provocations.”

“They load some buses, they pay people in the marches to generate violence,” said Cabello. “The motorists confess who paid them and what they were paid for. That is their plan—violence—because they know they are not going [anywhere].”
Cabello reiterated that there is zero possibility that MarĂa Corina Machado could participate in the presidential elections as a candidate.
“They have been trying to overthrow the Bolivarian Revolution for years, and the result: they have not been able to,” said Diosdado Cabello.
