FANB reacted to a statement issued by María Corina and Edmundo González

In this regard, the letter expresses rejection of the document published yesterday, August 5, by Edmundo González Urrutia and María Corina Machado.

“First of all, it is important to bring up that those who today claim to be democrats have a long and dark history as promoters of radical and absolutely unconstitutional, anti-democratic actions, contrary to all laws and the highest interests of the people of Venezuela. These actions include the request for military interventions in the sacred territory of the homeland, as well as the request for unilateral coercive measures and the support of everything that entails the hybrid war, which the North American empire and its allies have applied to our nation for more than a decade. Therefore, it is blatantly cynical that now this insurrectional faction of the Venezuelan political opposition seeks to cover itself with a cloak of legality that it has never practiced,” it reads.

They also reiterated that the Presidential Elections of July 28 “were carried out under the highest standards of transparency, with the assistance of more than 900 international observers and representatives of all registered candidates; and constituted an extraordinary demonstration of civility, in which the Electoral Power, even under cyber attack, and being the only constitutionally empowered entity, issued the corresponding results,” it added.

On the other hand, they recalled that so far there are 59 police officers and 47 FANB personnel injured; in addition to the death of 2 Professional Troops of the Bolivarian National Guard.

Finally, they reiterated their loyalty to citizen Nicolás Maduro Moros, president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
