The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, on Tuesday ordered the Bolivarian National Armed Forces FANB to liberate, this 2022, all the border areas of the country from the Colombian Terrorist, Assassin and Drug Trafficking gangs called «TANCOL».
During his speech and end-of-year message to the members of the FANB, held this Tuesday from Fort Tiuna in Caracas, he assured that “all TANCOLs are enemies of the Republic, wherever they are, they are enemies of the Constitution, of the FANB and the peace of the Republic and must be fought in the territory with all the military force of our country. 2022 will be the year where Venezuela will be free of the TANCOL. Venezuela is a victim of the Colombian war”, he emphasized.
In this regard, the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the FANB, acknowledged the effort and sacrifice of all the country’s soldiers, who this year have once again guaranteed the triumph of peace, stability and internal security of our country.
High Technology Military Economic Zone:
Among the announcements made during the end of the year greeting to the FANB, President Nicolás Maduro ordered the creation in 2022 of the Fanb’s High Technology Economic Zone, for the development of strategic projects that ensure peace, stability and sovereignty throughout the national territory.
He stressed that it is necessary to move from the recovery stage to the stage of creating national defense teams:
“We have to perfect our sights and have the ability to react to any attack, wherever and whenever, there are no excuses!”, Ordered the national leader.
Likewise, the National President ordered the consolidation of the presence of the Bolivarian National Militia in the territorial defensive system.
In this context, he exhorted the members of the FANB to maintain a permanent accompaniment to the Venezuelan people in all its spaces:
“Every day we must get closer as a people, closer and closer to the FANB (…) Let nobody lower their guard, we are overcoming. Let us keep our soldiers as permanent sentinels to guard our people”, said Maduro.
To confront hidden threats:
On the other hand, he urged the commanders of the components of the military body of the Nation to make a constant balance in the face of hidden threats that threaten the tranquility of the country:
«The danger is there in what we do not see, in the hidden, infiltrated enemy, in the enemies of peace and stability, those who conspire to carry out false flag operations and so-called false positives”, he denounced.
He concluded that Venezuela “is facing the experts in these modalities of the Colombian drug oligarchy, because they break all records in dissimulation, deceit, lies, false flags and false positives”, he said.
In this regard, he instructed to raise the response potential «and have the capacity to react in real time to any threat, aggression and attack wherever it may be, and whenever it may be(…) we must make our country an unsurpassable fortress where tranquility, work, study, culture, the color of life reigns”.
