It was approved in the second discussion of the bill for the Promotion of Non-Petroleum Exports, which will allow economic growth, according to Jorge Rodríguez, president of the National Assembly.
Rodríguez recalled that the economic blockade has been destined to destroy an entire nation and an entire people by attacking the most vulnerable, while saying that it was precisely at that juncture that they realized that oil, being a great strength, became a great weakness.
He said that Venezuela is in the process of a new productive economic model and the new law protects the exporter, especially “from the box office, from the tax office, from the bureaucracy, it is a law that streamlines all export processes.”
Rodríguez stated that in an economic blockade, in an economic war, an attempt is made to annihilate a nation, destroy an entire nation, attack the most vulnerable.
“When President Maduro has said on several occasions that the worst is over, the recovery of income, of the welfare state, of consumption capacity is being confirmed in the streets of Caracas, the streets of Venezuela,” he said.
“In reality, it is very important in the construction of a new economic and productive model, “like Venezuela has never had in its history.”
He expressed that in the blockade, “playing at the destruction of the main income, with pain we realized that our main strength was precisely our main weakness. Relying almost exclusively on oil income put us at the mercy of any attack on that income that would generate the serious consequences that arose in our nation.”
For this reason, he recalled the economic plan designed by President Maduro, launched in 2021, regarding which “some raised concerns regarding that economic plan.”
However, he pointed out that at present Venezuela has the lowest inflation in 39 years, the most robust currency on this continent (…), we have the fastest growing economy and above all we have a level of production in areas other than the oil industry that makes us more sovereign, more independent and more solid.”
He affirmed that a sovereign country has to produce the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the technology they need and that is where it goes in the present.
He indicated that something that seemed very representative to him was seeing in the exhibition that was held in the Legislative Palace on national products, that “a brand of Venezuelan batteries are being exported, when in 2019 there were long lines to purchase a battery.” .
He added that all sectors of the country are committed to returning tranquility, normality to Venezuela, “and above all the well-being that those pirates stole from us, those privateers who contributed to the aggression of the blockade and the sanctions.”
He also referred to the fact that deputies of different tendencies are searching for consensus and that is why the approval of the new legal instrument has been achieved.
He specified that it will remain as an important milestone that the National Assembly, which at the initiative of the President of the Republic, approved a Law for Non-oil Exports.
“This has a historical effect, regarding when it was going to happen here that Venezuela and its National Assembly were going to approve a real Law on Non-Oil Exports, really, because it is a request from businessmen, big, small, entrepreneurs, who already want to start to export.”
For his part, deputy Nicolás Maduro Guerra, during his speech in the parliamentary session, pointed out that the National Assembly presents an extraordinary balance.
“We have approved laws that have allowed Venezuela to be at the headquarters of growth that we are destined to be,” he noted.
