On the 4F barracks he stated that Chávez has been the best President that Venezuela has had after the Liberator Simón Bolívar:
“This is where we planted him, so that he would germinate strongly with his light, and here is the flag of the patriots, our Flag of Venezuela with its eight stars and the spirited white horse riding to victory. The voice of the people is heard because July 28 has arrived, election day and Hugo Chávez’s birthday. Free homeland, beautiful Venezuela that gave birth to our Commander Chávez. On a rainy day, the most beloved president in history after Simon Bolivar was born.”

Our Battle of Carabobo as a symbol of the fight for freedom and the 28th of July has arrived, the day of voting and hatred will not be more powerful than the right to peace, the right to love and the spirituality of a people who want tranquility and a Homeland with a future. Commander Chavez, happy and blessed day in your 70th birthday, today is your day, it is your victory and we are all prepared to vote with the flag of victory in hand, everyone to vote.”
