Caracas - The Venezuelan right has no strength in the workers'' sector to call for a national strike, said today Wills Rangel, president of the Bolivarian Socialist Workers'' Union (CBST).

The trade unionist said that 'there will be no workers who agree with their own executioners' and denounced that the right, having no response to the call to strike, hires people to destroy.

Likewise, he said, it would be contradictory if 'the workers struck when they with their employers, who are in the service of economic war, have virtually paralyzed their productive sector.'

Rangel said in statements to Union Radio that in the current situation, workers have to be mobilized and must guarantee productivity in the companies where they work.

Meanwhile, on Monday, CBST coordinator Carlos López, during a tribute to the Bolivarian National Militia (MNB), said that to maintain the operations of the strategic companies of the nation is among the objectives of the working class. 'The workers' militiamen have the mission of guaranteeing the operation of state enterprises in any situation. We are the detachment of the country that will assume the production, the public administration, in situations of contingencies,' he said.

Opposition groups to the government of Venezuela's constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro, are preparing protests on Wednesday, which may be violent, in order to destabilize the country and encourage intervention by external forces.

In that context, the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) repudiated the violent actions promoted by clashes in the service of the opposition right-wing, which attacked educational, health, governmental and social centers in recent weeks. The national secretary of this party organization, Perfecto Abreu, yesterday called on all Venezuelans to raise their levels of conscience to act in a civic manner and attached to the Constitution, against the coup plan launched against the Bolivarian Revolution.

Abreu denounced to the sectors of the right that they pretend to overthrow the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, 'through terrorist actions, leaving aside the constitutional framework to provoke confrontations very close to a civil war, as part of the imperialist policies that try to oppose brothers.'

He warned that acts of aggression against both educational and government institutions are increasing, and he encouraged his supporters to take part in the revolutionary mobilization scheduled for next Wednesday in Caracas.
