President Maduro approved
yesterday a Law of National Security which, according
to him, creates a Sistema de
Protección Popular para la Paz.
The system will
directly answer to the President’s office and is based on “the labor class, intelligence
teams, and control systems.” It includes four subsystems (for peace, popular
power, protection, and operations) and will be headed by a Comandante, yet to be appointed.
The creation of this
new People’s Protection System has become necessary, explained Maduro, in order
to fight against the “terrorism and para-militarism orchestrated by the right.”
The Agencia
Venezolana de Noticas quotes president Maduro: “through this instance,
the ‘para-military threat that has come to our country because of the
right-wing,’ and that is made visible through crimes such as the murder of the Deputy
Robert Serra, committed on October 1, and the violent actions promoted by
sectors of the ultra-right during the first semester of the year, which
produced more than 40 murders.”
