MADRID, December 19 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro promised to “break the curse of betrayal” against the Caribbean country and insisted that he would “loyally defend the homeland” against “aggressions” by the United States, which announced a “complete blockade” of the entry and exit of Venezuelan ships.
Thus, the president expressed his “loyalty to Commander Hugo Chávez” and emphasized that “this oath is fulfilled with a wrinkled soul but an absolute decision, at the risk of his own life.”
“I came to swear and tell Commander Chávez in a message, from the depths of the popular soul: Commander Chávez, we will not disappoint you. In Venezuela, we will break the curse of betrayal and we will be loyal to you here in this life and beyond in all the lives that touch us,” he expressed, according to information collected by the newspaper ‘El Universal’.
“The people were not as powerful, as organized as today, because before they had a revolutionary consciousness, but today they have a higher consciousness, which is a patriotic consciousness which unites revolutionary knowledge with the consciousness of the country,” he noted.
In this sense, he expressed his “absolute loyalty to the country and the people, to Bolívar and to history, to the resurrection of the original project of the giant of giants and great warrior, Simón Bolívar.”
These statements come after the US military killed several people in a new attack on ships in the Pacific Ocean. These attacks, which are added to those in the Caribbean Sea and have already left more than 90 dead, aim to exert pressure on the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and to respond to Washington’s so-called fight against drug trafficking.
