“Those of us who are here are what are clinging to a lovely, beautiful, just cause, it is the cause of Venezuela, it is the patriotic cause, the same one of 200 years ago, it is the cause of Bolívar, of freedom, of justice, of republicanism, the cause that all men and women of the Armed Forces embrace”, he expressed.
