President Nicolás Maduro recently urged the ministerial cabinet of his government to adhere to ethics, in the midst of the recent arrests carried out in the framework of the anti-corruption operation, this Friday, March 17.
«All those who have public responsibility have to adhere to ethics, to disinterested responsibility. The power we have does not belong to us, it belongs to the sovereign people of Venezuela,” Maduro said during the celebration of the seventh anniversary of the CLAP.
In his speech, the president recalled that the power of officials is granted by Venezuelans to be used for their well-being and the nation in its general context.
«Do not forget, ministers, those who are in charge, I give you my trust. They must do it ethically. May the power that the people give us with the vote be used for their well-being, to guarantee the future,” he added.
The National Anti-Corruption Police of Venezuela presented this Friday before the Public Ministry to prosecute an undetermined number of citizens. As they indicated, these “exercised functions” in public power and that “they could be involved in serious acts of administrative corruption and embezzlement.”
So far, they have detained the president of the Criminal Judicial Circuit of Caracas, Cristóbal Cornieles Perre, the mayor of the Santos Michelena municipality, Aragua state, Pedro Hernández, and the Control Room judge with jurisdiction over crimes associated with Terrorism, José Mascimino Márquez García .
