THE DAWN
From El Salvador, where the meeting of Chancellors of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) is being held, the Minister of Education and leader of the Presidential Commission of the Constituent National Assembly affirmed that one of his goals is to restore the principle of cooperation of the powers, because that’s the only way to preserve peace in the country given the opposition’s lack of will to dialogue.
“It will open a window of peace in this context where the Venezuelan counter-revolution, in cooperation with the US, has been mudding the water to promote the outbreak of a civil war in the country, which is the same strategy that has been applied in Libya and Syria,’ Jaua said in an interview with TeleSUR.
He remarked that the government has been trying to block attempts to install a civil war by beginning a democratic and revolutionary process by which the President of the Republic puts power in the hands of the people. ‘Let the people decide on the model of country we want to build, on the organization of the state and on the broadening and perfecting of our Constitution, which we approved in 1999.’
