Maduro Moros reiterated that now more than ever the Venezuelans, “are ready to defend our sovereignty against any foreign threat. We are the sons and daughters of Bolivar and Chávez, we are anti-imperialists. Venezuela, land of free men and women!”

On the other hand, Foreign Minister of Venezuela pointed out that every March 9 is “a firm response to the persistent imperialist aggression against Venezuela”, at the time he he recalled this is an occasion to celebrate their legacy as a people of liberators, dreamers and revolutionaries.

The date was chosen because eight years ago, in 2015, the United States Government (OF. UU.), chaired by Barak Obama, signed an executive order in which it declared Venezuela an “unusual and extraordinary” threat to national security and the foreign policy of the American nation.
