The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, highlighted the importance of the General Amnesty Law, approved unanimously by the National Assembly and with the participation of all political sectors, turning it into a central tool within the institutional dynamics of the country.
During an event with communes of Miranda state, held on Saturday, February 7, she highlighted the historical and political nature of the law, connecting it with the ideals of prominent figures in national history. “It is an Amnesty Law that should serve for peace and reconciliation in Venezuela. It is in the spirit of amnesty that was present in our father, Liberator Simón Bolívar, as well as in our Eternal Commander Hugo Chávez, and in the constitutional president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, the spirit of the unity of Venezuelans,” she declared.
She added that this law aims to transform justice into a “fundamental pillar of the Republic,” allowing the strengthening of the foundations of democratic coexistence. Focused on the country’s development, she urged that “Venezuela should not stop, Venezuela should keep moving forward” through the cohesion of various sectors.
She emphasized that the nation has to reclaim its trajectory as a “people who have overcome the most tremendous difficulties” and that, in such scenarios, the response must be national unity. “I call on all of Venezuela to march together for the future of Venezuela and to guarantee hope for our sons and daughters,” she stated.
