The Minister of Interior Relations, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, emphasized that the people continue to stand with the Bolivarian Revolution and that "the oligarchy will never again govern the country."
He made this statement from Bolívar Avenue in Maracay (Aragua), where the march for Dignity Day was held, on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of February 4, 1992. Cabello pointed out that "the oligarchy does not consider itself the people" because they despise them and that is why they do not recognize them.
“They tell you that when we come to power we will finish you off. They continue to threaten our humble people. When you come to power? Leave those who are still alone. Leave this people in peace. I hope the world will hear what is happening on this avenue and that they will be aware of what is happening here in this state, in Venezuela. Let them be aware of the firm decision of a people to live in peace, in tranquility, but being free and sovereign. We ask nothing of anyone. We demand respect, and I am sure: sooner rather than later, Brother Nicolás Maduro and Sister Cilia Flores will be on this avenue,” he exclaimed.
He said that their main task now is the return of the President and the First Lady, and referred to a sign he saw at the march with the phrase "two are missing".
“Yes, two are missing, Nicolás and Cilia; but we also miss the more than 100 comrades and brothers murdered by bombs. We also miss those Venezuelan men and women who died of heart attacks. But we have shown that we can rise again after the departure of Commander Chávez. They said that here, when Commander Chávez died, the Bolivarian Revolution would end in a month,” he said.
He stated that the people know the extremists and described them as "wicked individuals who will never love this people for the main reason that they do not consider themselves part of the people; because they consider themselves superior to us and do not know the strength and energy that one gathers when walking alongside one's own people, alongside equals, alongside humble people, alongside people who are aware and know what they want," he expressed.
Joana Sánchez: raising awareness
For her part, the governor of Aragua state, Joana Sánchez, stated that the commitment to the nation is being reaffirmed on the sacred soil of Maracay. She maintained that the Bolivarian project has great values, among them "trust and love" for the people.
He affirmed that the people's greatest commitment is to raise their consciousness to the highest level, strengthen popular organization, and "act with love, dedication, and exemplary performance to continue consecrating the sacred flame of the Bolivarian Revolution." He said that the people of Aragua have full confidence in the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, and that the people demand the return of the presidential couple.
Suárez Chourio: we are in the same fight
For his part, General Jesús Suárez Chourio, who was part of the February 4 Rebellion, highlighted that, 34 years after February 4, 1992, the struggle continues in the historical moment that Venezuela is experiencing.
Therefore, he said that in Maracay, where the February 4th commanders' movement was born, the people have taken to the streets, maintaining "a firm and loyal mobilization, aimed at demanding the return to the homeland of President Nicolás Maduro and the First Lady, Cilia Flores."
