“Here they did not discover anyone, here some people who were lost on a ship arrived and assumed it as a discovery, but the truth is, that was the beginning of a genocide,” stated the first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, during the march in Commemoration of the Day of Indigenous Resistance which took place this Saturday in Caracas,
In his opinion, the Spanish empire came to the American continent to exterminate the native population and impose its ideology and to steal the resources of the indigenous people and he made an analogy with the situation the country is going through when facing the imperial system, led by United States, but very optimistic, assured that it will be defeated just as the country defeated the Spanish crown 200 years ago.
Cabello also assured that those groups that support Zionism and the massacre against the Palestinian people in Spain are the same ones that are saying that nothing happened here in America, that those who came here are saints, that they are heroes, some martyrs”, he declared.
“532 years later it is a pride to belong to these lands where the indigenous peoples have been the protagonists of their history of anti-imperialist struggle, so marching alongside them this day helps us to charge ourselves with that ancestral wisdom and that strength to continue fighting against whatever enemy,” he pointed out.
