During the notification of the beginning of the session of the National Assembly (AN) for the 2024-2025 term, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, assured that the political formation of the revolutionaries is based on the principles promoted by the leader of the Revolution, Supreme Commander Hugo Chávez:
“We have been trained as revolutionaries in essence, the fundamental thing about the revolutionaries trained by Chávez, in Bolivarianism, is our conviction for freedom, for a direct, true, participatory, leading democracy, and today thanks to the Constitution they belong to the entire nation,” said the president from the Simón Bolívar Hall in Miraflores Palace.
In this sense, he recalled that the constituent process initiated in 1999, with the arrival of the Bolivarian Government, allowed power to be granted to the Venezuelan people through the laws approved by the National Parliament.
In this regard, he rejected the claims of sectors of the Venezuelan opposition, who through the US government have promoted the imposition of unilateral coercive measures and blockade in different areas of the country’s economy:
“Julio Borges went around the world (…) he went to ask for sanctions, 900 sanctions against the country. He used the figure of the president of our National Assembly to ask in the United States and Europe for sanctions for oil, petrochemicals, gold, for trade, for bank accounts, and it was because of the sanctions requested by Julio Borges that they froze all the accounts. in the world, with applause,” recalled the Head of State.
In this order of ideas, he stressed that these sanctions point to economic, financial, commercial, budgetary, and social damage, “generating immense social wounds in the income of workers, in the budget for health, education, for pensions and retirement funds, they wanted to lead the country into chaos.”
