He also noted that in the student´s protests and opposition sectors registered in Venezuela “there is handling and external interference” and that “they are running millions of dollars” to finance demonstrations.
“What is the solution for Venezuela? To respect the rule of law, to respect the legitimately elected Government. In the case of the Government, to implement the law, respecting human rights but to apply the law, “said Correa.
