The Head of State revealed that a few days ago a delegation of the Bolivarian Government met with representatives of the opposition, with the aim of adding the dissident minority to the Constituent project, a proposal that the representatives of the right had rejected.
«I proposed to them, two weeks ago: Why don’t you sign up for the Constiuent? I was willing to postpone it 15 days in order for them to register, make campaign and then make free elections», said the president. They asked for an hour, saying: «We’ll come soon»‘, and when they came back they said: «We do not accept», he said.
Finally, President Maduro congratulated the constituents elected, who will now have the arduous task «to reconstruct what the fascist violence led by opposition sectors has distorted, with the aim of establishing the path of peace, of dialogue, of justice, and loyalty».
