During the commemoration of the 34th anniversary of the rebellion of February 27, 1989, in the Cuartel de la Montaña, Delcy Rodríguez, Executive Vice President and leader of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), highlighted the value of the people who stood up to neoliberalism three decades ago and that today resists the blockade against the country.
The socialist leader pointed out how Venezuela has always been in the plans of the empires and highlighted when former US President Donald Trump said that he had “all the options on the table” to delegate the Venezuelans, including the military route.
He said that there are great differences between the people who came out on February 27, 1989 to claim their rights, exposing their lives “and the people of today who are accompanied by President Nicolás Maduro”, unlike the Government of Carlos Andrés Pérez in 1989, whom he pointed out as a “lackey and servile” of US interests.
The national vice president highlighted how, unlike the ruling elites of the so-called Fourth Republic, since the arrival of Commander Hugo Chávez and now with the presidency of Nicolás Maduro, there is one more of the people in power.
«There is one of you in the Miraflores Palace; What a great pride for Venezuela”, he pointed out and recalled that now Venezuelans have, unlike 1989, “the social protection system that Commander Hugo Chávez inherited from us”.
Venezuela always in the plans of the empire
«Venezuela has always been at the table of empires, of their perverse, criminal plans, to seize, not only their great material wealth; How blessed we are and we have them, but also for defeating the historical project that means a rebellious… anti-imperialist people”, said the also Minister of Finance.
Rodríguez emphasized how the Bolivarian people “in this terrible time of criminal blockade that seeks to extort the will of Venezuelans, has also known how to say, with great dignity (to the empires), that ‘they have not been able to and will not be able to'”.
He pointed out that in the “victorious resistance of the people” that faces “every sanction that goes against the workers and workers of our country; that affects their salaries”, is “the rebellious and anti-imperialist spirit of February 27; of February 4 (of 1992), of November 27 (of 1992)… a history that translates into what has been the vindication of our historical roots of our father Simón Bolívar”, he pointed out.
He reiterated that “in the face of every day of resistance to sanctions is that anti-imperialist spirit” and added that “there will be no neoliberal restoration in Venezuela… there will be victorious resistance from our people.”
For his part, the first vice president of the PSUV, deputy Diosdado Cabello, highlighted the atrocities that the Venezuelan people experienced during the years of the so-called IV republic.
