Istúriz: We need a second conquest of Guayana

The first Vice President of the National Constituent Assembly, Aristóbulo Istúriz, stressed the importance of the liberation of the province of Guayana, as well as a new conquest of this province for the emancipation of Bolívar’s Homeland.

“We need a second conquest of Guayana today (…) we face an economic war, we are being hit by oil revenues, they keep a blockade on us (…) they want to suffocate us, they want to kill the country. We need today more than ever resources not only to resist but to prepare the successful counter-offensive towards victory”.

“We must reaffirm the commitment with our Liberators, with our eternal president Hugo Chávez, and by loyalty with our brother President Nicolás Maduro to assume the task of facing this second conquest of Guayana until achieving definitive emancipation”, he said.

He denounced that the same oligarchy that removed the eighth star of the flag before, is the one that tries to hide the people’s food through the economic war.

“Who took the eighth star from the Venezuelan flag? The same people who today want to take food and medicines away from the Venezuelan people to face the process of emancipation” (…) The gringos always find here those who are in charge of taking the illusions and hope from our people, and against those traitors is that we have to strengthen the conscience and we have to strengthen the unity”, he said.

“The story makes sense because it allows us to interpret the present, and if we succeed in interpreting the present we can get right on the interpretation of the future (…) that is why President Chávez took up the process of history, and throughout the Bolivarian process he gave us history as a great instrument”, he declared.

He reiterated the importance of this historic milestone for the consolidation of the independence of the Republic

“We have to tell our youth that, had not occurred the liberation of Guayana, without the conquest of Guayana, neither Carabobo nor Ayacucho would have existed, which were definitive in the process of independence”, he said.
