This Monday, February 27, when the 34 years of El Caracazo are commemorated, Anti-imperialist Tribunes were organized in various points of Caracas and the state of Miranda to remind the people that they rose up against the capitalist system and ignited the spark for the changes that would take place later. .
From the Anti-Imperialist Tribune held in Petare, the governor of the Miranda state, Héctor Rodríguez, assured that the Bolivarian revolution will never allow rifles to be used against the people, because now the political force is at its service.
Together with the Mirandino people and survivors of the painful events of February 27, 1989, Rodríguez recalled that El Caracazo constituted a before and after in the history of Venezuela, because it allowed many generations to have a marked awareness of the needs and realities of the population, referred a Press release.
Rejection of neoliberal policies
On the other hand, the Governor of Miranda pointed out that, currently, with the application of sanctions and blockades against the country, many have wanted to find an answer to the difficulties in the privatization of companies and services.
“It is not by privatizing, it is not with capitalism or with neoliberal policies that the problems of the people are solved, because never in history has it been possible; It will be achieved with more policies that allow equal conditions, ”he said in this regard.
«Those who defend these neoliberal theses believed that they had a free way and undoubtedly tried to do so. Throughout Latin America, public rights and services began to be privatized. That neoliberal package wanted to get into Venezuela, but the people who do not like to have things imposed on them, these rebellious and wild people rose up; we rebelled and told the world the story was not over,” said the Mirandino president.
For his part, the deputy to the National Assembly, Rodolfo Sanz, highlighted the battle-hardened character that Petare shares with the also Miranda population of Guarenas, where the social outbreak began to later spread to the rest of the country.
In El Valle the Anti-Imperialist Tribune was raised
Meanwhile, in the El Valle parish, Caracas, an Anti-Imperialist Tribune was held in which several leaders participated, including Jesús Farias, deputy and leader of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, PSUV, who indicated that El Caracazo was the clearest demonstration of the agony of the puntofijista model.
On this, he stressed that “the terrible economic crisis was addressed with inhumane neoliberal formulas, the free market experiment and transnational looting exacerbated the crisis to its fullest.”
Likewise, Farias commented that “the Punto Fiji regime lost the support of the population in the midst of a decadent moral crisis fueled by growing corruption and indolence.”
Also in the forum held in this Caracas parish so affected by the events of 1989, the head of the Government of Caracas Nahum Fernández pointed out that Venezuela needs men and women who are willing to sacrifice and fight for it all their lives, as did the Commander Chávez and how the people did that February 27.
“That is why what we are experiencing in our country is an act of deep love, it is an act of dedication, a manifestation of love, it is a feeling that comes from these bloody, sad events,” said Fernández.
He also pointed out that the only way that the “murderers who continue to conspire today” do not return to the country is for the people to maintain political power and for Nicolás Maduro in the Presidency of the country.
In Guarenas they also remembered El Caracazo
Social activists together with authorities and the people also met in Guarenas, the seed of the events of February 27, 1989.
“34 years ago a strong fight was taking place in our town of Guarenas, a town tired of being ignored by the governments on duty,” said the mayor of the Antonio Plaza municipality, Freddy Rodríguez.
“The events of that February 27 were the initial engine that generated the events of 1992: the uprising of Hugo Chávez to fight for the people,” he recounted during the event.
In addition, Rodríguez assured that the supporters of the Bolivarian Revolution currently maintain that same “vision, the same spirit and love of the people in 1989.”
