On January 10, people around the world join the brave Venezuelan people in celebrating the inauguration of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro as President of Venezuela. This follows his electoral victory last July when 6.5 million Venezuelans once again chose him to lead the Bolivarian project, deepen the Revolution, and guide the homeland of Bol\u00edvar and Ch\u00e1vez on the path of sovereignty, peace, and self-determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new triumph of the Bolivarian Revolution and the legacy of Commander Ch\u00e1vez, as always, has sparked the fury of the powerful global elite. With microphones and cameras of the mainstream media fully engaged \u2013 the same ones that hypocritically remain silent in the face of the genocide committed by Israel\u2019s terrorist state against the Palestinian people \u2013 and through control of digital algorithms and even financing mercenaries to smuggle weapons into Venezuela to incite violence, they seek to impose a false narrative about what is happening in Bol\u00edvar\u2019s homeland. Once again, they dream of overthrowing the Revolution and reclaiming Venezuela\u2019s wealth to fill their capitalist coffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One only needs to see who greets the pitiful figure of Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez with open arms during his \u201cLatin American tour\u201d \u2013 a Guaid\u00f3 2.0 \u2013 to know which side of history to stand on. Embracing the likes of Milei, Lacalle Pou, Luis Abinader, Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino, or Joe Biden can only inspire embarrassment and incomprehension. True patriots of Nuestra Am\u00e9rica<\/em> (Our America) speak the language of dignity, not that of servile puppets bowing to the powers that be. As Commander Ch\u00e1vez said, \u201cThere are many people and much history here,\u201d far too meaningful to allow the humiliating spectacle led by the newly self-proclaimed president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us not be deceived. The rage of humanity\u2019s enemies \u2013 enemies of life and peace \u2013 stems from one reason: they cannot tolerate that this people of Nuestra Am\u00e9rica<\/em>, who have raised their flags time and again, continue to choose, sovereignly and democratically, a Revolution that upholds the banners of communal socialism on a continent they consider their backyard. That is the source of their anger and resentment. And it is with that fire of pride that, from Nuestra Am\u00e9rica<\/em> to Palestine, we will defend our Bolivarian Venezuela and, with it, the sovereign and courageous project of our P\u00e1tria Grande <\/em>(Great Homeland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Defenders of imperialism, friends of death, seem not to have understood this, despite the numerous battles we have won. However, as the Venezuelan people say, \u201cWhoever messes with Venezuela dries up.\u201d History \u2013 meaning the conscious and organized action of our peoples \u2013 will ensure they are placed where they belong: alongside the hypocrites who defend a servile imperialist project in this sacred land of Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As ALBA Movements, we know our place is to celebrate alongside the brave Venezuelan people, their day of inauguration, their reaffirmation in Miraflores, their role in history, and their courage in continuing to be a beacon of hope for the peoples of our region. From the plains, seas, and mountains of Venezuela, where the Liberator Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar, Commander Ch\u00e1vez, and President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro Moros were born, we remain steadfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The peoples of the world stand with Nicol\u00e1s Maduro! Let\u2019s celebrate!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ALBA Movements\u2019 Statement<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":729,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"tags":[],"statement-type":[24],"class_list":["post-722","statement","type-statement","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","statement-type-member-statement"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statement\/722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statement"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/statement"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722"},{"taxonomy":"statement-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aip.eita.coop.br\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/statement-type?post=722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
