“Venezuela has patriotic soldiers to defend peace, today, tomorrow and always,” said the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, while considering it necessary in this 21st century to bring the Bolivarian Military University and all components of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, the military doctrine of The Liberator Simón Bolívar, to strengthen the military forces and train pro-independence men and women.
In this sense, he instructed the commander of the Bolivarian Army, M/G Félix Osorio, to take charge of this great task: “We must study Bolívar’s military forces to build a stronger and more cohesive army than the last 200 years of Venezuelan history.”
He stated that just as Bolívar did in 1821, to form a great patriotic army that managed to defeat the Spanish empire, “Venezuela today has to have an indestructible army with solid command structures, to face the new imperial threats that threaten the peace of the world».
