Cumaná, Sucre — In a historic event in front of the statues of Simón Bolívar and Antonio José de Sucre, President Nicolás Maduro attended the inauguration of Jhoanna Carrillo Malavé as the first female governor of Sucre state. The national leader took the opportunity to highlight the achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution and to denounce new threats against national sovereignty.

President Maduro revealed that on Monday, June 2, Venezuelan security forces captured a group of terrorists in the country’s east who were carrying a cache of war weapons. According to the head of state, the individuals entered through the border with Trinidad and Tobago, and half of them were Colombian citizens.

“Brought in through the Caribbean Sea to enter the country, we must have a thousand eyes and a thousand ears, because the terrorists have not succeeded, nor will they”, affirmed the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, who insisted on the Venezuelan people’s right to peace and tranquility.

Terrorism and Economic Attacks: An Imperialist Strategy

The national leader denounced that terrorist attacks are part of a broader strategy to destabilize the national economy. “What do the lingering remnants of fascism among certain families do? Attack the economy?” questioned President Maduro.

He recalled that during the first four months of the year, groups linked to the right attempted to sabotage the economy and prepared terrorist attacks, all of which were neutralized thanks to the actions of the revolutionary authorities.
