This Friday, the governor of Zulia, Omar Prieto, spoke about the calls made by the Venezuelan opposition for January 23, reminding the leadership that he is the governor of that state and that he will "defend every inch of land."
With a threatening tone, the president reiterated his support for Nicolás Maduro and that the actions to be taken from the regional executive before any circumstance" are established in the Constitution of the State of Zulia."
"We have had like five governors who have promoted the separation of Zulia contemplated in several articles of the constitution of Zulia; and if an eventual transition government were formed, we already know what we have to do, because the largest oil reserves are here, as well as the best lands for agriculture and even gold and diamonds are in the lake basin**," he said.
Prieto's assertions were issued during the Forum Venezuela, Political Scenario 2019 activity, attended by the Vice President of Revolutionary Discipline, Pedro Carreño.

The Chavista government doesn't give the least shit about the people, 95% who are living in poverty (80 in severe poverty). They only care about their precious "Bolivarian Revolution".
**And all of those "riches in Zulia"... what do they mean when the minimum monthly wage is $4 per month? Tell the oldster who is starving all about the untapped riches of Venezuela!
