Caracas/Bruno Rodríguez appeared in Caracas this Thursday to attend a ceremony in Caracas on the occasion of post-mortem promotions and decorations of the soldiers who died in the US attack to stop Maduro and assured there that the Bolivarian and Cuban revolutions “will be an example for the liberation of the people” of America.
“We will fight together and we will win, the Bolivarian and Chavista revolution and the Cuban revolution, in their destiny and in their common struggle, will be an example for the liberation of the people of our America,” said the Cuban Foreign Minister, who participated in the tribute led by the president in charge of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, along with members of the military high command and the cabinet of the South American country.
In the US attacks, 100 people have died “so far”, including civilians and soldiers, according to the Venezuelan Minister of the Interior and Justice, Diosdado Cabello, said on Wednesday after the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Fanb) paid tribute to 24 soldiers at a funeral.
Cuba also reported on Sunday that 32 of his soldiers stationed in the South American country died in “combative actions,” although there are doubts about the figures.
In that sense, Foreign Minister Rodríguez indicated that they will continue their work “in defense of peace” and in “international mobilization” for the release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, captured by US troops during the operation carried out in Caracas and three neighboring states.
During his speech, the Cuban leader assured that his visit was to pay an “emotional tribute to the fallen Venezuelan combatants” and to express “emotional tribute to the Cuban combatants.”
“Honor and glory to the combatants who fell in unequal combat, love and peace to the Venezuelan men and women murdered by the imperialist horde, to the brave Venezuelan people we express the deepest solidarity of Cuba,” he added.
This Thursday, the Government of the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, posthumously promoted and decorated the soldiers, both Venezuelan and Cuban, who died during the US attacks and included the Fuerte Tiuna military complex and the Generalísimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base, also known as La Carlota, in Caracas.
During the event, which took place at the Eclectic Monument of the Military Academy of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) and was broadcast by the state channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), Rodríguez lamented that the life of the military “was taken in a vile attack.”
The president in charge indicated that Venezuela did not deserve this “vile warlike aggression” by a “nuclear power.”
