🔴Amid the devastation caused by the earthquakes in Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello faced harsh criticism after videos surfaced showing him confronting and obstructing U.S. rescue teams working in affected areas like La Guaira. ⭕The footage shows rescuers attempting to save lives while Cabello shouts at them and interferes with their efforts, sparking outrage both within and outside the country. The official is also wanted by the United States with a $25 million reward for alleged drug trafficking and terrorism offenses. ⭕Meanwhile, the tragedy continues to worsen with over 1,700 dead, thousands injured, and tens of thousands affected. International teams, including U.S. rescuers, have managed to save lives, such as the rescue of a baby and his mother after several days under the rubble. ⭕However, the Venezuelan government's response has been questioned by citizens and U.S. politicians like Carlos A. Gimenez, who denounce obstacles, lack of support, and the politicization of the crisis. The situation has heightened tensions and discontent in the country.

“I have a message for Bruno Rodríguez, because the time for propaganda is over and the time for truth has come. Cuba does not need more propaganda at the United Nations. Cuba needs freedom. The real blockade against the Cuban people is the murderous communist socialist dictatorship you represent and for which you serve as a spokesman. And yes, the communist socialist dictatorship you defend is a threat to the national security of the United States of America. The Cuban people deserve freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, and the end of that murderous communist socialist dictatorship that you represent.” https://x.com/darielfernandez/status/2072113103349666235?s=46&t=gT6uLhaVod8uwzT4p6povA
