President Nicolás Maduro charged against the undersecretary of the Department of State for Latin America, Brian Nichols, reiterating that his government is not going to allow itself to be blackmailed and will continue building its own course without any threat.
“We do not accept threats from the government of the United States government, we are standing here with our own efforts and we will continue advancing with our own efforts,” Maduro said during his speech in Miraflores upon receiving the Great Victory Marchheld this Thursday to celebrate the rescue of the constitutional thread and the return of President Chávez to power after the coup d’état committed by the ultra-right in April 2002.
“Imperialism swallow your words, eat your words that Venezuela will continue its course in the 21st century without blackmail and without threats, with our own effort building our prosperity, our greatness, our happiness and our democracy,” the president sentenced, and addressing Brian Nichols said: “get the hell out of there, because Venezuela is respected,” said Maduro.
It should be noted that last March, Nichols would have indicated that the sanctions against Venezuela will remain “as long as concrete steps are not taken towards a democratic solution.”
Maduro was emphatic in his message to the US government. In this regard, the President highlighted that the Venezuelan people have demonstrated during these 21 years courage, patriotism, their anti-imperialist struggle, dignity and love for the big homeland “And there is no imperialist spokesman or has been born to intimidate Venezuelans in the fight for our land, for our future, for the great Homeland that we believe in and that we are building,” he declared.
