34 years
Yesterday the most relevant thing was the act for the commemoration of the 34 years of the Caracazo. There was a conversation at the San Carlos Barracks, in Caracas, where the participation of Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and the second vice president of the PSUV, Diosdado Cabello, stood out.
Rodríguez stressed that "the Caracazo put an end to bipartisanship" and it was the expression of the people's rejection of the aggressiveness of the imposition of the neoliberal agenda. And he forcefully said that here in Venezuela "there will be no neoliberal restoration," that what there will be is resistance. Just as neoliberal policies resisted, the people resist and will resist the scourge of sanctions and the blockade.
For his part, Diosdado Cabello in his speech He pointed out to the right-wing politicians as the same people responsible for 27F, its causes and the repression that generated around 2.000 deaths 34 years ago.
"They are murderers and they will not rule this country again."
He said that the deaths of February 27 and 28, 1989 are on the conscience of the Armed Forces, because the political class of that time evaded responsibility.
El Yiyi and Mamilón
Secondly, I want to highlight the update on the case of the terrorist shootings that occurred on February 18 in Maracaibo. Prosecutor Tarek William Saab said that the masterminds have been identified. The leader of the criminal gang behind the events is called Guillermo Boscán Bracho, alias El Yiyi, and he is in the United States. The gunmen left a pamphlet at the place where the Yiyi claimed responsibility for the attack. He recalls that these are acts of intimidation because the merchants refused to pay the criminals a "vaccine".
The second of the Yiyi is called Moisés Enrique Soto and they call him "Mamilón". He is identified because he sent threatening messages and videos to the business owners. The prosecutor hopes that the United States will collaborate and hand over Yiyi to answer for his crimes.
On the other hand, the head of the Cicpc, Douglas Rico, explained that the perpetrators of the attack on the Samba supermarket have been identified. They are Yunior Báez, aka Tazmania, and Khaled Montiel, aka El Viejo. They are still on the run.

It is important that you know that Foreign Minister Yván Gil is in Geneva, Switzerland, to participate in the 52nd Period of Sessions of the UN Human Rights Council. There he met with Volker Türk, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, with Mirjana Spoljaric, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), among other personalities. Pending with the news that comes out of there. The foreign minister will reiterate Venezuela's denunciation of how the sanctions and blockade imposed by the United States undermine the human rights of Venezuelans.
15 cold days
My people, in what they call the "northern coastal zone" there will be two more weeks of this intense cold that is felt especially at night and in the morning. The Inameh reported that in Caracas, for example, temperatures have reached 10 degrees, although the national minimum was reported in Mérida, where the thing reached 5. But fly, because experts also warned that as of March 15 comes the even heat. Here is the forecast for the next 24 hours.
