The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro said on Tuesday that “we will never be a backyard, a colony, or slaves of any supremacist empire,” during an event at the Bolivarian Military University of Venezuela (UMBV).

During his speech at the Theater of the Military Academy of the Bolivarian Army, where he was awarded the title of Honorary Doctorate in Integral Defense of the Nation, the president insisted that the current dilemma for the nation is not between “homeland or death,” but between “independence and colony” or between “slavery and free peoples.”

“If they touch Venezuela, they touch us and it will be time to unite again in a single united army Liberator of South America, to confront any imperialist aggression. It is a world that is changing, it is transforming. And it is not from yesterday, nor from today.

That Venezuela belongs to that world. We belong to the world of the balance of the universe that Bolívar dreamed of since ancient times. We have always sought that world. Tooth and nail,” said the head of state in the midst of the context of U.S. aggression against the Latin American nation.

Similarly, the president asserted that the nation currently has its own, ours, original military doctrine.

“The Bolivarian Revolution of the 21st century activated a powerful military revolution and completely broke the dependence and ties with the old doctrines of National Security of occupying armies imposed by the Schools of the Americas and West Point,” remarked the president, who also emphasized that they converted, as is still the case in other sister countries, to the military forces of our Latin American countries in occupation forces President Maduro insisted that this is over in Venezuela, while pointing out that “there is a military revolution of Bolívar, Sucre and Zamora and a doctrine that also has a well-organized, well-prepared, capable and powerful military force.” “That every day is in the path of its deployments, it finds the paths that must always lead us to the stability and peace of the Republic. That this is part of a fundamental component of Venezuela’s reality,” said the Venezuelan head of state.

On the other hand, the dignitary pointed out that Venezuela has a strong state, with five powers and above all the two powers that are not established in the Constitution, are the two true powers that give greatness to this country: popular power and military power.

Recalling that the country has had intense resistance to the siege, the snares, the sanctions, the threats of the multiform war that the U.S. empire has declared to Venezuela and has declared to the entire world, President Maduro stressed that Venezuela has faced the multiform war with wisdom, with institutionality, with national unity and that “we have won in each of its parts and forms throughout all these years”.

 He also referred to the plan of the 7 Transformations, on which he stressed that there have been seven fronts of intense creative, innovative resistance, to continue opening paths, clearing snares and clearing threats.

“Seven fronts of progress in the construction of a new economy with thirteen engines that are manifested in a very important way in its productive capacity, in its regenerative capacity to meet national needs,” he remarked
