“We have the function of serving as ears for the expectations, hope and vicissitudes of our people… You are not deputies from the capital, of air conditioning, those from Apure have to be there, those from Falcón, from Lara, you have to to be with the people, accompanying the people,” said the president of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, during his speech from the speaker’s stage in the parliamentary chamber.
Rodríguez also stressed that the actions of the National Assembly should be aimed at the construction and reconstruction of laws for the protection of the people, as well as the rescue of laws for the empowerment of the people:
“The Legislative Palace is a space to fulfill the duty, but here we are deputies of the Republic, of the 335 municipalities of Venezuela, of the 1,132 parishes that exist in the country,” stressed the president of the AN.
On the other hand, he urged the parliamentarians to continue defending the peace and independence of Venezuela, and to be alert to the attacks of the adversaries to continue guaranteeing the victory of the Venezuelan people: “We cannot forget the damage, the immense damage they did to the sabotaging the National Electric System (SEN), when they applauded the sanctions and blockades, they did a lot of damage.”
“We are in the presence of the Venezuelan forces, but we do not have time to rest. They have orders to follow, they will keep trying. Here there is a people, a president and a Parliament in the streets. We only have to continue defeating those attempts. The defeat of wars and deaths is the victory of peace, freedom and democracy”, he stated.
