The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, affirmed this Saturday that the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) once again defeated perfidy, division, conspiracy and imperialism.
This was confirmed by the Head of State in the Salutation ceremony for the FANB at the Ayacucho Monument, in Fuerte Tiuna, Caracas, stated that it is important to consolidate coherence between thought, word, speech, action and result: we have our own military thought together with a Venezuelan military doctrine written by Commander Hugo Chávez himself.
The commander-in-chief of the FANB indicated that this year 33 strategic operations in depth were carried out in the territory of Venezuela, and 189 tactical operational deployments in which the entire structure of the FANB participated, accompanied by the combatants of the Bolivarian National Militia. “We can say: Victory in the territory.”
Likewise, President Maduro recognized the work of the FANB in the fight against criminal gangs and drug traffickers from Colombia, a daily battle.
In this regard, he highlighted the work of the officers of the Bolivarian Military Aviation, who detected a drug trafficking incursion on the northwest coast of the Falcón state.
He indicated that, in record time and in strict compliance with the law and the Constitution, action was taken and the incursion was neutralized.
The head of state also praised the fight against illegal mining, which is destructive to the parks, as well as the fight against criminal groups, such as the Tren de Aragua, the Tren de los Llanos, imperial instruments, financed and armed by the empire and the fascist right, to try to take territorial control of vital states. He highlighted the permanent patrolling to protect the country's vital strategic objectives, and to protect our homeland from all threats.
In this regard, Maduro presented decorations to officers for their outstanding work in conducting military operations aimed at guaranteeing the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation.
The president, who highlighted the work carried out by FANB officers to protect the country from threats, ambushes and dangers, said "I feel very proud of the role that the military has played in the fierce defense of the country."
He stressed that the FANB has its own military doctrine and thinking, but "I increasingly insist on leadership by example, on the morale of all officers and military leaders, from the highest commands to the most modest military units in the country."
Ayacucho Plan
The Head of State urged the FANB to develop the Ayacucho Plan for the period 2025-2030.
«We must ensure with creativity, initiative and a lot of honor that the FANB develops, step by step, the Ayacucho Plan that is part of the 7T Plan, which "will be received by the National Assembly on January 10 so that it becomes an Organic Law of the Republic to continue the progress on all battle fronts."
Great national objective
In this regard, he commented on the importance of having a plan. "They know very well the importance of having a strategy, a plan and the importance of advancing firmly and simultaneously on all battle fronts towards the great national objective: achieving times of prosperity, development and maximum social happiness, with their own effort."
Operation Bolivarian Shield
He congratulated the FANB for the Bolivarian Shield operation, which is active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to consolidate territorial and national peace.
In this regard, he explained that the Bolivarian Shield operation went from local exercises to permanent surveillance operations, "because Venezuela has very perverse and evil enemies, not only in the north, virulent, imperial and perverse, but the worst is that there are Trojan horses that join the intrigue and the sowing of hatred and division of fascism, widely defeated during 25 years of revolution, but which persists as a threat," he said.
He also said that the fight against illegal mining and criminal groups such as Tren de los Llanos and Tren de Aragua continued, "which are instruments financed and armed by the US empire and the fascist right to try to take territorial control in areas of the country."
He also said that on Friday the Military Aviation detected a drug trafficking incursion along the coast of Falcón state and, acting in accordance with the law, the aircraft was neutralized.
