“Today we want to tell the people that this sustained practice was not only against Governor Rosales and against me, with hate speech and divisions, when there are different voices try to proclaim through lies say everything contrary to what the people of Venezuela want,” he explained.

He presented as evidence the transfers that are made to various politicians of the Venezuelan extreme-right opposition up to a million dollars from the US and which he rejects since the coup attempt of the National Assembly controlled by the opposition in 2015.

Prosperi formally requested the Attorney General, Tarek William Saab to the national authorities and authorities of the United States Government, to investigate the embezzlement and the serious damages on Venezuela, as well as the illicit enrichment of a small group that benefits the Venezuelan people.

He also asked president Nicolás Maduro to convene a «government of national unity». «Where we can all contribute a grain of sand and return the future and peace to each of Venezuelans», he said.
