These measures do not promote democracy in Venezuela, but rather seek to give a last breath to a dispersed and discredited fascist group that has no roots in the Venezuelan population, in order to prolong its failed policy of regime change.
Four months after the great popular victory, the Bolivarian Government reaffirms its unwavering commitment to continue consolidating its participatory and leading democratic model, and strengthening its economy in the midst of constant unpunished aggressions.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, faithful to its historical tradition of struggle and sovereignty, reiterates in the face of any attack that the people of Bolívar and Chávez can never be defeated and that their triumphant path towards the consolidation of peace and political, economic and social is irreversible.
Caracas, November 27, 2024.”
