First Vice President of PSUV rejects Lenín Moreno attacks against President Maduro


The first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, rejected on Wednesday the accusations of the current president of Ecuador, Lenín Moreno, against the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, whom he said he was involved in the demonstrations and protests that are registered in the South American nation in rejection of the neoliberal measures.
“In Ecuador today there is a people risen. Who is at the forefront? See how things are, who are those who are in charge of that uprising, that is pure bullshit that it is Nicolás, there is the indigenous people in front of it, the originary people are those who are in front, but they, in order to distract attention, say they are Nicolás (Maduro), (Miguel) Díaz-Canel and (Rafael) Correa”, said Cabello in his “Con el Mazo Dando” (Hitting with the Hammer) program, broadcast on Venezolana de Televisión.
Demonstrations have been registered in Ecuador for a week against Moreno’s neo-liberal reforms, the result of a credit agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which contemplate the elimination of the fuel subsidy, a 20% reduction for renewed occasional contracts, the decrease from 30 to 15 days of the holiday period for the working class, among other measures.
Given this situation, Moreno decreed on Tuesday a curfew between eight o’clock at night and five in the morning in the adjacencies of government buildings. These actions add to the State of Exception that was decreed last Thursday.
On the other hand, the vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), said that these manifestations that are registered in several countries of the continent – such as Ecuador and Argentina -, represent “A new Bolivarian wave that runs through these lands”, which is raising in rejection of IMF impositions.
