Venezuelan Armed Forces Celebrate Independence Legacy

The National Bolivarian Armed Force has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the principles of freedom, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and anti-imperialism. "This loud legacy faces the threats of a hybrid and multifaceted war, vestiges of recycled imperialism," expressed Venezuelan Defense Minister, General in Chief Vladimir Padrino López.

At a commemorative event held at the National Pantheon, Venezuelan authorities began activities with the raising of the flag as part of the ceremonies for the anniversary of the start of Venezuela's independence process in 1810. Minister Padrino López warned about the threats to the country's independence legacy and the unity and dignity of its people.

The event of April 19, 1810, marked a milestone in the formation of Venezuelan national identity, serving as inspiration for the emancipatory ideas that propelled the path to independence. In honor of this historic date, a floral tribute was laid in honor of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, and a solemn session was held at the Municipal Council of Caracas.
