Chavismo requested regional agreements against corruption: an opposition deputy proposed to investigate the unfinished works in Falcón

The Legislative Council of Falcón proposed an agreement against corruption to comply with the line of the PSUV

Fulfilling a partisan line, the awning of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in the Falcón state Legislative Council proposed an agreement in support of “the fight against corruption”, after the arrest of about twenty officials of the Bolivarian revolution which led to the resignation of Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami. Opposition deputies said they supported it, but stressed that it be extended to regional cases of the numerous unfinished works in the Chavista governments (Jesús Montilla, Stella de Montilla and Víctor Clark), because in Falcón there is a cemetery of unfinished works.

This was highlighted, in conversation with Infobae, the deputy of the Legislative Council of the Falcón state (CLEF) for the group Mesa de la Unidad Democrática de la Oposición, Víctor Eberth José Jurado Barroso, who reveals that the session was not held in the chamber but in the delegated room, “by decision of the CLEF Board of Directors, since they were afraid that we would bring people from the community into the session.”

He emphasized that Falcón has been brutally affected by the lack of water supply, even though millions in resources were allocated for the Bolivarian Aqueduct, which ended in a network of corruption.

“It is not just unfinished works, badly done or working halfway. We have the case of the Paraguaná wind farm. Also the Josefa Camejo power plant, which Hugo Chávez said was so that the electricity would never go out in Falcón again and so that it would become an electrical island, but due to lack of maintenance it does not work properly and it falls down frequently.” .

“For the population of Adícora, Nicolás Maduro came, they made a paraphernalia saying that it was the city of the wind, it does not have quality public services, electricity or efficient sewage system, because the pumps are damaged. Add to this the case of telephone companies such as CANTV, or water companies such as Hidrofalcón with works that appear executed without having done them”.

Add ghost works such as “the slaughterhouse in the Colina municipality, from which even the little they did has already disappeared; the citrus juice plant in Cabure; the milk plant in Purureche, where the mayoress at that time is now a deputy; the Dabajuro hospital has been budgeted many times and it is unfinished and what they did was that the town clinic was turned into a type I hospital; desalination plants, the coconut candy plant. And the Siburua drilling wells, where investment was made in several studies, the transformer bank, the boards, the submarine cables were placed, and finally they dismantled those wells, which could provide constant water to the Colina and Miranda municipalities,” says Jurado. to Infobae.

In the session, the parliamentarian told the parliamentarians: “Of course we agree on the fight against corruption, but the issue of corruption should not be dealt with only when there are relevant elements like this that are happening now in the country.”

“Corruption must be fought with facts. Here in Falcón we add a proposal, we are going to vote on that agreement, but we are going to question all those who are in Hidrofalcón, in Corpoelec, those who are in the service stations, we are going to call the National Guard to explain to the inhabitants of Coro (state capital) that passes in each gasoline queue in the Falcón state)”, emphasizes Jurado Barroso.

“That is why attached to the point, to the Internal Regulations and Debate of this parliament, to the Organic Law of the Legislative Councils, we have requested a large number of times, the interpellation of officials, directors of organizations specifically those that most concern the people such as public service organizations, so that they render clear accounts to the Falconians”.

He insisted on the need to approve the appearance of Executive officials. “The Comptroller’s Office must also play its role.” Addressing the parliamentary majority that Chavismo has in the CLEF, he said that “they have at their mercy the total control of the institutions, TSJ (Supreme Court of Justice) and the Prosecutor’s Office (Public Ministry), to carry out adjusted investigations and adhere to the law with evidence in hand.

He recalled that Hugo Chávez’s former Finance Minister, Dr. Jorge Giordani, said that between 2011-2012 in Venezuela, 12 billion dollars had disappeared. “Furthermore, Professor Héctor Navarro, a renowned academic, minister throughout the Chávez government, said, in 2016, in the National Assembly and during an interpellation or appearance, of those that here at the CLEF refuse to do, he said that in Venezuela had a patrimonial damage that exceeded 250 billion dollars”.

And now there is talk of “three and five billion dollars, which are pronounced very quickly, but in a short time it translates into more than 12,000 appropriate health centers to care for Venezuelans who are dying of decline today. In Venezuela there are 570 CDIs (Comprehensive Diagnostic Centers), but with 3 billion dollars we could build 12,000 health centers or 24,000 km of roads, in tons of real asphalt and not what they paint with diesel”.

“Currently in Venezuela we have 25,000 farms, most of them in very poor condition. Ask the community leaders, those of their party (PSUV) or the children who are not militants in parties, so that they can tell you how the schools are in Falcón”, the Falcón state deputy concluded.

The former mayor of Barquisimeto, Alfredo Antonio Ramos Acosta, described the actions of the Anti-Corruption Police (PCC) as fleeing forward “to pretend to be fighting corruption” and asserted that “the head of the mafias in Venezuela and the first The one who should be imprisoned in our country is Nicolás Maduro, who assaulted and usurped power in Venezuela.”

Ramos, who is the 2017 Sakharov Prize winner and who was arrested by the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN), by order of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, in July 2017, recalled the case of the burned apartment, near the emblematic Obelisk of Barquisimeto, for cryptocurrency mining, mentioning that it belonged to a deputy of the National Assembly for the pro-government bench, who, although he did not mention at the time, was said to be Andrés Avelino Álvarez.

He assured that there are “hundreds of exorbitant scandalous cases of corruption that the regimes that were established in 1998 in Venezuela have had. Let us remember the case of Antonini Wilson’s briefcase with 800 thousand dollars to finance the Kichener campaign (in Argentina); the Bolívar 2000 Plan, where one of the generals involved in this political scam called 21st Century Socialism stole more than two billion dollars; there is the case of the Odebrecht company, with very specific complaints from high-ranking officials of the regime who charged very high commissions for works that were never carried out,” said Ramos for whom what there is is a failed state “with institutions at the service of the regime and the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro.

He lamented what is happening with corruption in the Bolivarian revolution because in his opinion, with the millions of dollars missing, decent salaries could be given to educators, for example.
