The popular counterattack of April 2002 gave a big lesson to the right that took the path of coup against the mandate of the supreme commander, Hugo Chávez Frías, said the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro.
“Commander Chávez said, again and again, to the right that took the very early coup road:” Do not underestimate the people, or the military. ” And they did, they gave their coup d’etat, kidnapping him and giving the order to kill him, but they received a popular counterattack, ”he said through a message posted on his Instagram account.
In this sense, the Head of State recalled how the Venezuelan people faced fascism, which gave a coup d’etat orchestrated by imperialism and the surnames of the oligarchy.
«We were another people, still very innocent, the new values, the new conscience, and just began to talk about popular power began to be developed. It was a revolutionary movement in birth, ”he said.
In this sense, in a video included in the aforementioned publication, he cataloged this fact as a “media blow” due to the actions of the media of the time to promote and justify this violation of the Constitution.
«We have to do a permanent exercise to nurture the historical awareness of the entire people, of the entire Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), but above all of Venezuelan youth. Never again a blow against the country, never again, ”emphasized the president.
