“Here we are not choosing a political party, a color, a candidate, here we are making the choice for the future of Venezuela, it is the first time that this vital issue is consulted with the people,” said the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, during a meeting with social movements from all throughout the country, in defense of Essequibo.

The words of the head of state respond to the campaign undertaken by the ExxonMobil Oil Company through social networks to try to confuse the people and prevent the holding of the Consultative Referendum on December 3. In this sense, he noted that Guayana Esequiba is not an issue for elites, but rather a consultation that should be made to ordinary men and women:

It is only up to the people of Venezuela to say what will happen to the future of the territorial integrity, independence, sovereignty and peace of Venezuela; “We have to guarantee the resounding success of the Consultative Referendum on Sunday, December 3,” stressed President Maduro.

In turn, he emphasized that, given ExxonMobil’s intentions to sabotage the Referendum, the people must answer Yes five times for peace, for national unity, for what belongs to the nation.

Finally, he requested progress in strengthening the campaign for the defense of Essequibo, with the delivery of flyers in all communities, in all sectors, in high schools, universities and workplaces so that the Bolivarian nation can recover its historical rights. on Guayana Esequiba.
