Diosdado Cabello: USA is behind the plans to take over TeleSur

The president of the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), Diosdado Cabello, said the Trump administration is behind the alleged appointment of a new board of directors for the multi-state owned television station TeleSur.

The self-proclaimed deputy “president” of the National Assembly in contempt said that journalist Leopoldo Castillo will be in charge of the “presidency” of the channel, while Larissa Patiño will be the “coordinator” of this commission for the so-called restructuring.

“Juan Guaidó and his allies are going to make the attempt to take over TeleSur, but behind that is the United States Government”, said Cabello during the broadcast of the “Con el Mazo Dando” (Hitting with the Hammer) program.

In addition, he warned that US imperialism will seek allied regimes in the region that comply with the order to withdraw the TeleSur signal from their respective countries.

However, Diosdado Cabello stressed that, should the aforementioned plan become consummated, the government of President Nicolás Maduro “will make some decisions” on the case.

Finally, the president of the National Constituent Assembly recalled that over journalist Leopoldo Castillo weighs a dark file on the alleged murder of priests in Central America.

“From Globovisión, Leopoldo Castillo and Alberto Federico Ravell had set up an extortion system against Venezuelans, and that is the jewel that “Juanito Alimaña” (Johnny the Scoundrel) has just designated for Narnia’s TeleSur”, he said.
