Vice President: Never again any empire will submit us

207 years after the Declaration of Independence, Venezuela preserves its unshakable will to preserve its right to freedom and self-determination before agents who encourage interventionism against the country, said this Thursday the Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez:

“207 years ago the people of Venezuela were the first to set free from the oppressive yoke of the Spanish empire! Today, just as we did more than two centuries ago, we opted for the inalienable right to self-determination, freedom and independence! Never again any empire will submit us! “, she expressed on Twitter.

Rodríguez ratifies the sovereign will of the Venezuelan people one day after the statements made to Associated Press (AP) by a high official of the United States government (USA), which confirmed the pretensions of the President of that country, Donald Trump, to militarily intervene the South American country.

Such claim was rejected by the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, who called the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) to remain in maximum alert, and by the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), which formed a commission to investigate the actors that promote this type of maneuvers against the nation. The Vice President also congratulated the FANB, which on Thursday commemorate their day with a civic-military parade on the Paseo Los Próceres (The Heroes Stroll), in Caracas.
