Maduro in Russia

President Maduro traveled to Russia for the events marking the 70^th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War and had this to say to the Spanish service Russian TV news channel RT:

“The Venezuelan people have the moral, political, spiritual patrimony to defeat the destabilization aspirations of the national right wing, which are expressed in an economic war.”

He also said: “I have tended an open hand [to the opposition], but they are in the path of conspiracies. (…) The economic war which I am facing, which the Venezuelan people are facing, is the main front of attack that is left for all these neo-fascist  sectors, the extremist right which exists in Venezuela.”

Maduro however is optimist that he will defeat the economic war in the following months: “I have set myself in these three months, together with special teams, [the aim] of stabilizing and regulating the supply system, beyond all these capitalist groups that are sabotaging the Venezuelan economy all the time.”
