I take this opportunity to present before the image of the Nazarene on behalf of all political prisoners and persecuted those who find it impossible to attend this beautiful act of faith and ask them for their immediate release. "

"I feel fully identified with the message that Cardinal Urosa Sabino sent the faithful at Mass today, referring to the Venezuelan prison system. It is urgent that the prison population in Venezuela treated accordingly and with dignity, a word which by the way, loves those who run the current government that claims to be socialist but is far from being a government of equality for all, "he said.

Have been successful the words of Cardinal. "

"Jesus said: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness, for my sake. When defending the truth and honor, the struggle must have as its main objective to make these values \u200b\u200bwill prevail over lies, but this comes from those who govern us, "he said.

For the journalist, "Without justice there can be no peace and much of what is happening today in Venezuela have to do with the lack of justice for those who administer it. As we have seen in the case of Congressman José Sánchez Mazuco and Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni, to cite two examples. "

Leocenis Garcia thanked the homily Cardinal Urosa said that according to "The prison population has always been abandoned to their fate in the country."
