“A truly historic week. 22 years later, here we are standing, searching for the best paths of the Homeland, deepening democracy, freedom and from the affirmative of the Venezuelan, searching for the deep being of Venezuela, a magical, miraculous, blessed country, our country, that points out the paths of the future,” said this Monday, the constitutional president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, recalling that the oligarchy of surnames was behind the coup d’état against Commander Hugo Chávez Frías in April 2002.
From Miraflores Palace, in Caracas, during the 40th edition of his weekly “Con Maduro+” program, the head of state stated that today, Monday, April 8, exactly 22 years ago, was the week in which Venezuelan families lived in danger, by an oligarchic coup, “and we had to live it, (it’s been) 22 years already. 20 years is nothing, and it seems that 22 is nothing either.”
In his words, that week from April 8 to 11, 2002, was a “moral, political eclipse.” “Dark Thursday, April 12, of dissolution of powers and the 13th, of joint, spontaneous, almost telepathic popular military insurrection. And on April 14, Easter Sunday of the legitimate powers of the country.”
The National President thanked the Venezuelans for following the presidential program week by week, and assured that the work of the Bolivarian Government reflects “the beauty of the soul of the ordinary man and woman and that soul draws a better future for all men and women“.
