The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, highlighted the historical development “as beautiful, with as much emotional and political impact as the revolutionary process in Venezuela”, which has continental and world repercussions through “the Bolivarian and socialist Revolution of the 21st century founded by Commander Chávez” continues to influence the peoples and leaders of the world, and assured that “when one sees what has happened in Peru (in reference to the political crisis after the deposition of Peruvian President Pedro Castillo) the Bolivarian Revolution grows. with his people and his implacable, impeccable and perfect civic-military union.
The president made such a statement during the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the last address by Commander Chávez from Miraflores (Government Palace) on December 8, 2012, when he called for the unity of the country’s revolutionary forces to elect Nicolás Maduro as his successor to continue the Bolivarian Revolution.
Maduro stressed that in Venezuela there is “a people with a leadership, a project, a program, a strategy… a moral, spiritual, political, and military force of the people of Venezuela.”
Maduro pointed out how the Venezuelan people “has faced with courage and courage, with intelligence, with strategy” the challenges they face. “Playing the pieces when they have to be played and playing them well; attentive to the strategic game of continental and world geopolitics ”, he explained.
The extreme right against popular movements
He regretted what the peoples suffer “like the Peruvian people who elect a teacher president, Pedro Castillo, and from the first moment of the election they do not want to recognize his victory, they ignore him,” he stressed.
He pointed out that Castillo was able to assume the presidency due to the weight of reality, but from the moment of his inauguration began “the conspiracy for a parliamentary coup and the attack began, the wear and tear… a permanent harassment” with the many truculences that the Peruvian right undertook from Parliament in a pursuit without limit, “until they took him to the extreme of trying to dissolve the Congress of Peru,” Maduro recalled.
“They are the oligarchic elites that do not allow a simple teacher to reach the presidency of Peru and try to govern for the people,” said Maduro, stressing that the overthrow of Castillo “is the message that the extreme right sends to popular movements, the progressive movements”, to intimidate them and tell them “we are not going to let them govern”.
“But from Venezuela we say to the extreme right: ‘you won’t come back,'” snapped the president.
The same old oligarchy
The president assured that now the Peruvian right wing that overthrew Castillo plans to humiliate him and sentence him to years in prison and said that it is the action of “the Lima oligarchy that is used to doing whatever it wants, the same one that persecuted (the Great Marshal Antoni José de) Sucre and was unaware of his achievements, the same one that persecuted (El Libertador Simón) Bolívar and was unaware of his glories”.
He said that the oligarchy itself fulfilled its mission and clarified that without interfering in the internal affairs of any country, it hopes that “the Peruvian people, within the framework of its Constitution, will achieve, sooner rather than later, their path of liberation, of true democracy and of full realization”.
“Peace for Peru, democracy for Peru, equality for Peru… justice for Peru we Bolivarians ask from South America,” said the Venezuelan president energetically and stressed that what happened in the Inca country “enlarges the feat that we Venezuelans have accomplished and the Venezuelans
“Because we can say that now in the 21st century, Commander Chávez did not plow in the sea; he plowed on fertile ground, in fertile hearts, in conscious minds, in a people of values… Chávez formed a people in a higher consciousness, in deep values of the homeland and revolution”, he pointed out and highlighted the values as the key to deepen the roots of the process and asked that Education be the central axis “of the awakening of the people2 for the triumph of socialism.
