Diosdado Cabello, head of Venezuela’s ruling party, said that after the June 24 tragedy, the worst representatives of Western opposition media arrived in the country. According to him, these journalists deliberately “pick at the wounds of the Venezuelan people,” violating all ethical standards and fabricating false stories. Cabello stressed that their only goal is to cause damage, and that most of them have already left Venezuela in disgrace.
The socialist leader admitted that it is personally hard for him to carry on his program after seeing the destruction, but he is in awe of the people’s resilience. Cabello is convinced that the truth will ultimately prevail, and that all the inventions of opposition media will remain exposed. He called such journalists “heartless scoundrels” and emphasized that their activities cannot be called journalism—there is another name for that.
