In the most recent edition of the television program Con el Mazo Dando, the Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, delivered an editorial filled with denunciations and warnings about what he described as the true confession of US imperialism: the attempt to seize Venezuela’s oil, land, and wealth.
Cabello, who is also Venezuela’s Minister of the Interior, Justice, and Peace, referred to a message attributed to US President Donald John Trump, which allegedly suggests that the aggression against Caracas is not related to democracy, drug trafficking, or terrorism, but rather to the control of energy resources.
“All the masks have fallen,” the Venezuelan minister stated, emphasizing that Washington’s official discourse is merely a facade to conceal its interests in stealing Venezuela’s economic resources.
Minister Cabello stressed that what bothers the United States is the dignity of the Venezuelan people, who have known how to defend what belongs to them. “If this were a people without dignity, the United States wouldn’t care that we have oil, but here we have a dignified people who know how to defend what belongs to them,” he declared, emphasizing the Venezuelan people’s capacity for organization and resistance in the face of external pressures.
Cabello recalled that for the past 17 months, the U.S. government has deployed what he called “psychological terrorism” against Venezuela, using media campaigns and false narratives to justify sanctions and blockades.
Faced with these aggressions, he asserted that Venezuelans have responded firmly, aware that the central objective of these aggressions is to seize natural resources.
“What they say about Venezuela is a lie. It’s not true that we help terrorists; those are lies. The Tren de Aragua story is not true; it doesn’t exist,” he emphasized, dismantling the accusations that seek to criminalize the country.
It is worth noting that the Venezuelan leader’s statements are directed at the lack of evidence presented by the United States Federal Government, which has only made an accusation without possessing solid supporting proof.
In his speech, the PSUV leader also lashed out at opposition sectors that, according to him, act as “lackeys of the empire.” He directly pointed to María Corina Machado, whom he accused of promoting narratives that seek to justify military interventions and economic blockades.
“Only a person with a deeply corrupt soul like María Corina Machado and all those leeches who play along with her could claim that 60% of Venezuelans are drug traffickers,” he said, rejecting what he described as a smear campaign against the nation and its citizens.
At this point, it’s important to remember that Maria Corina Machado, in response to several questions in Oslo, accused her compatriots of being active collaborators in drug trafficking, generalizing to 60% of the population.
This accusation even contradicts the narrative of electoral fraud denounced by her running mate, Edmundo González Urrutia, after their electoral defeat in the last Venezuelan presidential elections.
Cabello asserted that Venezuela is a rich and diverse nation and therefore does not need drug trafficking as an economic engine. He emphasized that this country suffers the least from substance addiction problems in the region.
In that regard, he affirmed that Venezuela has the capacity to purge itself of aggressors and that attempts by opposition sectors to seek international support for destabilizing operations will not succeed.
The cartel is in the north and is looking for oil.
Diosdado Cabello also linked María Corina Machado to foreign business interests, stating that she is a pawn of corporations like ExxonMobil and US political figures like Marco Rubio who seek to plunder Venezuelan resources.
According to the Venezuelan minister, the extreme right in his country has even discussed plans with mercenaries to carry out violent actions at embassies and generate incidents that would provoke international reactions against Caracas.
In response to Donald Trump, the Venezuelan minister emphasized that oil and minerals belong exclusively to the Republic and are public domain assets, inalienable and imprescriptible.
Cabello insisted that no agreement or external pressure can supersede the Venezuelan Constitution, and that any attempt to justify foreign claims on land or resources will be rejected.
