President Nicolás Maduro receives popular support. Caracas, Dec 10 (Prensa Latina) – The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, affirmed today that this homeland will never be colonized by any empire. After a massive march to mark the 166th anniversary of the Heroic Battle of Santa Inés, in which he participated along with other national and Caracas authorities, the head of state stated that he is right because this homeland belongs to the noble, sovereign, and courageous people of the Bolivarian Republic.
"We tell the world that Venezuela continues to be victorious, Santa Inés is alive in our struggles and victories against the surnames and the rancid supremacist oligarchy, and we continue to build a powerful democracy with an empowered people," Maduro declared.
Maduro expressed that the Venezuelan people are permanently on the streets and called for continuing to build the nation's power every day. He emphasized that the true foundation of a country's power lies in its people, its values, education, culture, consciousness, and its organizational capacity to build real governments, not detached ones ensconced in presidential palaces.
In Venezuela, he asserted, with the Bolivarian Revolution, the detached governments are over, and we are moving towards the construction of a communal state of justice and freedom. This, he affirmed, is the power of the people in education, culture, the comprehensive power of politics, and of the rifles with the creation of the Bolivarian Peasant Militia, to which more than six million two hundred thousand militiamen have joined, who are the soldiers of Simón Bolívar and Ezequiel Zamora.
The head of state stated that he swore before Commander Hugo Chávez and the people, and "we have fulfilled our oath at the cost of our own skin and we will continue firm and loyal to that oath." "This is not a time for hesitation, but for courage, for combat, for building this Venezuelan homeland," he emphasized.
He expressed that it is not new to face the lies of the looting oligarchy and to defeat them, as "it is an old custom of the zamoranos, of ordinary men and women." "That is why I say before the people," he remarked, "we have ended and broken the curse of betraying the people of Bolívar and Zamora, that is why we are standing and victorious, and I ask the people to continue building the triumphant revolution of the 21st century."
Maduro referred to the mobilizations of last Saturday in the United States and thanked the American people for "avoiding an interventionist and brutal war in Venezuela." "Enough of imperial wars and massacres!, we are right and this homeland belongs to the noble, sovereign, and courageous Venezuelan people," he stated, while ensuring that "this homeland will never be colonized by any empire."
"From Venezuela we demand: enough of regime change policy, enough of coups d'état and invasions in the world, no more Vietnam, no more Somalia, no more Iraq, no more Afghanistan, no more Libya, enough of imperial wars and massacres," he reiterated.
