"Cardinal (Urosa) is a very well-educated man. He is very intelligent and well informed and he was going to reply with sound arguments to any insult made by the group of lawmakers. Therefore, they decided not to air the meeting," Lückert told El Universal.

The Archbishop of Coro added that the presence of Cardinal Urosa in the seat of the National Assembly shows that his statements are transparent.
