The President of the National Assembly rejected the narratives generated on digital platforms and affirmed that the Executive Branch will not tolerate any irregularities, regarding the deportation of Colombian citizen Alex Saab to the U.S.

The president of the National Assembly (AN) of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez , stated this Tuesday that the National Government will not give "quarter" to any form of irregularity, illegality or acts committed against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela , and revealed links of citizen Alex Saab Morán, who was recently deported to the U.S., with agencies of that country since 2019.

When addressing the deportation of the Colombian citizen, Rodríguez made a strong revelation, stating that Saab's situation is "a matter between him and US agencies" and promising to make public the type of relationship he maintained and maintains , directly implicating US entities in this controversial case and its narrative.

"In short, since 2019, and we're only finding this out now, the Alex Saab issue is about him and American agencies. And you'll all soon find out what kind of relationship Alex Saab had and has with those American agencies ."

He added that “Saab is a Colombian citizen. The Constitution clearly establishes that Venezuela cannot obstruct or impede a deportation process if there is any type of criminal activity in another country or any type of action or relationship between the agencies ,” he emphasized.

He reaffirmed that neither Alex Saab nor the 257 Venezuelans rescued from the CECOT detention center in El Salvador have immunity or impunity ; if they committed crimes, stole money, or planned other offenses, "they must face the law and be prosecuted," emphasizing that Venezuela is serious about fighting corruption and impunity , unlike the hypocrisy shown by the U.S. on these issues.

He also addressed the accusations circulating online regarding his diplomatic efforts to secure Saab's release in 2023. In this regard, he recalled that his work as a mediator with the U.S. administration also made possible, in 2025, the repatriation of Maikelys Espinoza and the rescue of 252 Venezuelan migrants who were being held in El Salvador —facts that, he claimed, are often omitted from social media.

Rodríguez denounced the "gigantic theft" perpetrated by sectors of the opposition with Venezuelan money abroad , referring to the CITGO dividends in New York and the Monómeros case , demonstrating external complicity in the diversion of the nation's resources.

He directly accused Juan Guaidó of orchestrating a "witch hunt" to misappropriate millions of Venezuelan dollars , funds that were distributed to former members of the National Assembly from 2015-2020, pointing to the inaction of international organizations in the face of these events.

" Whoever steals, whoever betrays, whoever violates the high condition of trust placed by the people of Venezuela or by the Government of Venezuela, must be prosecuted according to the laws of the Republic ," Rodríguez declared.

He recalled the words of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, about the betrayal of former General Arnaldo Ochoa , calling it a " stab in the back to the homeland ," to emphasize that the current struggle in Venezuela is a " problem of morality, principles and honor " against those who betray the trust of the Revolution and are defended from abroad.

During the plenary debate, the legislator questioned the opinion matrix that seeks to instrumentalize the very complaints issued by the Executive to attack the authorities who expose these grievances .

On this point, he condemned the existence of "600 paid staff" dedicated to disinformation , a tactic that seeks to discredit the efforts of the Venezuelan State to repatriate its citizens and combat corruption , insinuating the external financing of these destabilizing campaigns.

The President of the Venezuelan National Assembly also denounced the hypocrisy of the U.S., pointing out the double standard of the external narrative , which attempts to discredit Venezuela's actions while protecting those who threaten public assets .

He criticized the fact that senior US officials do not question the crimes of those released during prisoner exchanges.

In this regard, he reaffirmed the country's sovereignty to handle its diplomatic affairs without external interference and recalled his role as the State's representative in negotiations with Washington, such as the exchange in the Caribbean last December, the repatriation of Alex Saab, the recovery of the Espinosa Bernal girls and the return of 252 migrants from El Salvador.

He reiterated the commitment of the political organization and the Government to combat internal deviations , maintaining that any official, including mayors belonging to the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), who engages in economic or drug trafficking crimes, will face imprisonment.
