The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, highlighted the extraordinary participation of the Venezuelan people in the candidate nomination assemblies organized by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and the Great Patriotic Pole (GPP). He emphasized that more than five million Venezuelans participated in this process, which he considered «a complete success» in the 47,263 grassroots assemblies held throughout the country:
«Gathering, talking, and freely nominating, there is the People’s Power, the ordinary people, the men and women who exercise leadership, there is the power of the people, the PSUV, and the entire GPP that joined in, nominating men and women. To date, 59,622 candidates have been nominated; 28,388 women and 31,192 men, means that the nomination process we are undertaking is a complete success,” he emphasized.
The head of state highlighted the awareness, love, and active participation of the people, and described this moment as one of the best of the Bolivarian Revolution: “We are on the right path, on the right side of history. There is people for a long while, here is the revolution for a long while,” he affirmed.
He sent his greetings to all the people of Venezuela. At the same time, he invited all those who have not participated to join the assemblies, which are part of the deepening of the leading role of the people’s power.
He also emphasized that, “in the face of external aggression, the Venezuelan people continues sending a clear message of unity, independence, and peace. The people of Venezuela is sending a clear message, not only to the entire Venezuelan society, which has a guarantee on that the PSUV, the GPP, and all Bolivarian and Chavista forces are the backbone of the independence, peace, and future of the Republic. This is the true democracy that empires fear, the conscience of a sovereign and rebellious people. They have not been able to defeat us, nor they will. Here we are more united, stronger, and more powerful.”
President Maduro congratulated the members of the PSUV, the GPP, and all the revolutionary movements for their commitment to the future of the Republic.
