Caracas, May 28, 2025 – In a powerful demonstration of resilience and unity, President Nicolás Maduro Moros inaugurated the “La Lucha” Tourist Route in Petare’s Leoncio Martínez parish, while delivering a firm denunciation of violent conspiracies aimed at destabilizing Venezuela’s democratic process. Speaking from the symbolic Bulevar La Lucha, Maduro emphasized the Bolivarian government’s unwavering dedication to building a society rooted in values, family, and communal strength.

A Bold Stand Against Extremist Violence and Foreign Interference

President Maduro underscored the recent thwarting of a sophisticated terrorist plot orchestrated by extremist factions linked to opposition figures such as María Corina Machado and Juan Pablo Guanipa. These groups, financed by foreign interests including networks associated with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López, sought to disrupt the May 25 regional and legislative elections through violence and sabotage.

The President condemned these actions as a profound moral degradation, stressing that thanks to the vigilance and courage of Venezuela’s security forces, over 70 conspirators were apprehended, ensuring the preservation of peace and electoral integrity. President Maduro’s reference to “la diabla perversa”(the evil devil) , a pointed allusion to María Corina Machado ,highlighted the government’s stance against those who threaten the nation’s stability.

Maduro’s Statements Echo and Support Investigations into Narcotrafficking and Political Violence

President Nicolás Maduro’s declarations strongly echoed and reinforced the investigation and accusations made by Vice President Diosdado Cabello. Cabello detailed the discovery of over 400 military-grade weapons, many originating from the United States, intended for use in attacks against diplomatic missions and critical infrastructure.

He also pointed to the involvement of certain NGOs, including Médicos Unidos de Venezuela and PROVEA, accusing them of facilitating extremist activities under the guise of human rights defense. These revelations expose the dangerous nexus between narcotrafficking networks and political violence promoted by opposition sectors, a strategy aimed at undermining Venezuela’s sovereignty and social progress. The government’s firm response, including suspending flights from Colombia to prevent mercenary infiltration, reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding peace and national stability.

Community Empowerment Through Culture and Tourism

The inauguration of the “La Lucha” Tourist Route stands as a testament to the Bolivarian government’s commitment to grassroots empowerment and cultural revitalization. This initiative, part of the Antonio José de Sucre Plan, weaves together the rich historical, cultural, and gastronomic heritage of Petare’s communities, fostering pride and economic opportunity among over 1,200 local families.

Governor Elio Serrano praised the collaborative spirit between communal councils and state institutions, affirming that such projects exemplify the revolutionary ethos of collective work and social justice. The route’s vibrant murals, traditional cuisine, and community-led management underscore a model of self-determination that counters narratives of instability.

Venezuela’s Path Forward: Peace, Values, and Revolutionary Transformation

President Maduro closed his address by reaffirming Venezuela’s historic journey toward a “society in values,” emphasizing the defense of family and community as pillars of national strength. He invoked spiritual blessing and the unity of military, popular, and police forces as key to overcoming attempts to sow chaos.

“Blessed by the Nazarene, blessed by God the Creator, and united in perfect fusion , military, popular, and police , Venezuela witnessed peace, elections, and the triumph of stability, life, and tranquility,” President Maduro declared.

As the Bolivarian Republic continues its path of social transformation, initiatives like the “La Lucha” Tourist Route symbolize the enduring power of community resilience against external aggression and internal division.
