Iris Varela, Minister of Penitentiary Affairs, said Sunday that President Nicolás Maduro is the one who suffers the most from the economic situation in Venezuela.

"As a result of the economic situation due to the blockade, for everything that happens to us that impacts us all, who does not suffer with the situation that the country has? The first one who is suffering is the president of the Republic, because he is the one who has the great responsibility," she commented during an interview with José Vicente Hoy .

He assured that Maduro is sensitive to the needs of the Venezuelan population.

"What else would President Nicolás Maduro not want to forge and concretize the happiness of our people?" she said.

Varela stressed that the situation that crosses Venezuela could be overcome if the population began to produce and implement a new work ethic.

"The difficult circumstances that come our way can be overcome if everyone is convinced that they have to start producing," she said.
