Venezuela's 2015 Assembly President Calls for National Unity in Earthquake Reconstruction

Dinorah Figuera, president of Venezuela's 2015 National Assembly, has called for national unity to guide the country's reconstruction following earthquakes on June 24. Figuera emphasized that the ongoing emergency demands the participation of all Venezuelans, with the 2015 Assembly committed to playing its part.

"We will assume the role that corresponds to us with responsibility and do everything in our power to achieve these goals," she stated. The earthquakes caused significant destruction and suffering, prompting Figuera to express gratitude for the "decisive help" from the United States and other countries assisting affected areas, particularly La Guaira.

We will assume the role that corresponds to us with responsibility and do everything in our power to achieve these goals.

Figuera outlined a reconstruction strategy aligned with the U.S. State Department's three-phase plan: consolidating stability, fostering economic recovery, and building strong democratic institutions. The 2015 Assembly, recognized by international allies as Venezuela's last democratic institution, continues to monitor humanitarian responses in coordination with the Interim Government and the U.S.

She stressed that unity will be crucial for overcoming the crisis, mourning lost lives, and rebuilding the nation with hope. Figuera highlighted the 2015 National Assembly's ongoing role in international efforts and its commitment to guiding Venezuela's recovery.
