It includes political disqualification for 60 years for those who commit these “crimes”, which will prevent those sanctioned from seeking public or popularly elected positions. Likewise, those who have “promoted, instigated, requested, invoked, favored, supported or participated in the adoption or execution” of “armed or forceful actions, as well as cyber attacks” against the country, its institutions or authorities will not be able to compete in elections. , many of them sanctioned by other countries.

Media outlets that disseminate any type of messages that promote sanctions or measures that “affect the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela” will also be fined the same amount and could be punished by being removed from circulation or the radio spectrum, depending on the platform. let that be the case.

The Law considers international sanctions crimes against humanity, after the country received more than 900 measures of this type in the last decade, mainly from the United States, according to Government data.

The opposition Juan Pablo Guanipa told Noticias Caracol live that “the most important sanction that Venezuela has is called Nicolás Maduro, it is the most important aggression that this country has, There is no one more repudiated and reprehensible in Venezuela than Mr. Nicolás Maduro, The surveys say it with complete clarity: 91% of those surveyed consider that the person who won the electoral process in Venezuela is Edmundo González Urrutia and that 91% deeply rejects Nicolás Maduro and all his accomplices who have caused irreparable damage to Venezuela, but that it is up to us to begin the most beautiful process of transformation the moment we achieve that power is handed over to whoever was elected by the people, who is Edmundo González Urrutia, and that we begin that process for political change, for the re-institutionalization of the country and to ensure that we truly have a rule of law and basic conditions so that investments come and we recover politics, the economy and Venezuelan society.”

“If there is someone who oppresses the Venezuelan people, if there is someone who oppresses the Venezuelan people, who does deep harm to the Venezuelan people, it is Nicolás Maduro,” he stressed.

Guanipa, in addition, questioned that If these “are unilateral sanctions, which in this case come from the European Union or come from the United States, why are they not against the United States, not against Europe, but rather against the opposition leaders?” that we have no influence whatsoever on whether those rules or sanctions are applied?

“The center of all this is to try to intimidate, to extinguish the democratic alternative, which is evidently in an effort to relaunch itself towards January 10 to achieve what should be, and what is the should be? “If Edmundo González won the process, he should be the one to assume the presidency of the Republic,” he added.

Guanipa stated that “Since Maduro knows that he lost and knows that he has taken that away through a false bulletin from the National Electoral Council, he then tries to intimidate and to extinguish all that democratic alternative that is going to lead and that is leading a process so that the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people is respected.”

“Maduro is the one who goes unpunished at this moment because there is no law that can be applied against him, because he not only controls the Executive power, but he controls the Judicial, the citizen, the electoral and the military, he controls all powers. today Nicolás Maduro.”

According to Guanipa, “there is a committee of friends and family of political prisoners that has had a truly leading and interesting performance in the fight to defend the rights of those people who are illegitimately deprived of their liberty. There is talk of approximately 2,000 people. Maduro prepared prisons for 2,000 people, aware of what he was going to do, everything was premeditated by Nicolás Maduroand it is up to us to continue fighting to ensure that political change can occur, which is what the Venezuelan people aspire to.”
