By denouncing that “thousands of messages have been transmitted via WhatsApp calling for the killing of President Maduro, ordering the killing of Chavistas, calling for the killing of the people,” the Venezuelan head of state, Nicolás Maduro Moros, reported that the National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) opened a legal-administrative investigation into the people who have issued hate messages on that digital platform.
The Dignitary also pointed out that he will not block the application, but that he trusts in “the conscience of each and every Venezuelan,” so that they join in and make the decision to uninstall the direct messaging service.
“So measures must be taken, everyone in their home, and everyone is free to write whatever they want, but do not let yourselves be spied, or threatened on by WhatsApp,” he stressed.
Likewise, the Head of State also indicated that “most of the phone numbers that were threatening were Colombian, Peruvian, Chilean and American, the cowards are hiding. Now, those who used Venezuelan phones (for threatening), we have all of them and we are going to get to them one by one with the law, justice, order and peace.”
In this sense, he reiterated that “our battle is not with swords and spears (…) it is with conscience, with the truth, with justice, with the law, with the Constitution,” he stressed.
During this speech in which he was accompanied by the grandfathers and grandmothers of the Homeland, who marched to the Government Palace, President Maduro detailed that there are 2,229 terrorists captured “with evidences, and on Saturday they will be transferred to the Tocorón and Tocuyito prisons,” he stressed.
