The first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, warned of plans by sectors of the national opposition, including the seizure of the Miraflores Palace, the seat of government, it was reported today in Caracas.

In his nightly programme Con el Mazo Dando the day before, the political leader revealed a pamphlet circulating in Venezuela and Miami, in which the right wing drew up a timetable to generate violence once the National Electoral Council (CNE) announces the results of the presidential elections on 28 July.

Cabello denounced that sectors of the opposition and US imperialism intend to lead the country into a civil war and warned that the plans will clash with the intention of the revolutionary and chavista forces to maintain and defend peace in the streets.

The leaflet, which includes photos alluding to each of the operations to be carried out, calls on «everyone to vote and stay in the Polling Centres» on 28 July; and proposes that on the following day, «regardless of the results announced by the CNE, March and Takeover of Miraflores».

For 30 July, the pamphlet calls for «Open Trial against senior government leaders» and considers 31 July to be the day of the «Rebirth of Venezuela».

The also deputy to the National Assembly pointed out that this is the destabilising plan of the right wing and expressed that «this is what they think they are going to do and we are going to stay calm».

He commented that «they – the extremist opposition sector – must have the University Stadium ready for the trial announced by the fascist opposition against the Chavistas, as happened in Chile in 1971, after the overthrow of the democratic government of Salvador Allende».

In the last 25 years we have learned to resist and we have not sat back to see what happens, he warned, and asserted that the chavista forces «have fought, resisted, defeated and built our own victories».

We have also learned, «we make mistakes, but fewer than before», he stressed, adding that in all this time they have learned to «get to know them and them» and know that they never bet on the electoral route because «their record is always that of violence».

The PSUV leader emphasised that the chavistas built their own victories with Commander Hugo Chávez (1954-2013) and President Nicolás Maduro.
