Caracas, Oct 7th - Venezuelans will commemorate today the thirteenth anniversary of the great electoral victory of Commander Hugo Chávez (1954-2013) on October 7, 2012.
President Nicolás Maduro, in his program "Con Maduro +", evoked that moment last night and expressed that "13 years have passed since the last and great victory of the undefeated commander, overcoming pain, illness and, together with the people, he achieved one of the most wonderful victories in the electoral political field."
That victory reaches until today and is a force of sworn commitment of millions of men and women of this land and of solidarity of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, and much beyond, he expressed.
He stressed that that great victory of October 7, 2012 has a precedent history of accumulation, of conscience, facing challenges, such as attempts at coups d'état and assassination.
Maduro stated that all that heritage and that flag "we carry today, it is clean, intact, undefeated, standing, in the yellow, red, blue and the eight stars," he referred to in allusion to the national banner.
The president pointed out that we are in times of great history, let no one be confused, and pointed out that "doubting is treason, it is a time of great history and we have to continue building this path in homage to this giant, to the past stories and those that are to come."
Last Saturday, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Yván Gil, evoked in Telegram the last public address of Chávez and pointed out that "more than a speech, it was an embrace and a farewell," and stressed that today that speech is "a reminder of everything that Venezuela defends: a free, sovereign and socialist homeland."
We remember not only the closing of an electoral campaign, but the promise that, as a nation, "we made that day never to abandon hope and resistance while we continue to advance through our historical destiny," he meant.
On October 4, 2012, Chávez's first words were: "The Bolivarian avalanche arrived in Caracas and it arrived with a torrential downpour, bro, look how Bolívar Avenue is over there, look, and Mexico Avenue over there, and the Armed Forces over there, and the Lecuna over there, the Baralt, the Urdaneta.
"With this rain of San Francisco we consider ourselves blessed by the hand of God, of Christ the Redeemer, the blessed water of San Francisco has fallen on us, that is a prelude to what will happen on Sunday, October 7," said the Bolivarian leader.
Three days later, the Venezuelan people starred in the overwhelming victory that would give the triumph to the Great Patriotic Pole, led by Chávez, by obtaining 55.25 percent of the votes with an attendance at the polls of 80.9 percent of the electorate. (Text and photo: PL)
