He said that the events that have occurred in the country in recent days have left a great lesson for all of Venezuelan society, making it clear to all the people what fascism is and how it acts.
“It is impossible, out of hatred, pettiness and ego, hidden interests, to try to impose on the country its exclusive and elitist project. That is why fascism has failed in the homeland of Bolívar, that is why fascism will never come to power in Venezuela, we will never allow it. We were born to defeat fascism and see the homeland grow,” he exclaimed.
