The Bolivarian military commander began by thanking the commanders of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) for the excellent conduct of the military exercises currently underway.

“The FANB is an institution with values, principles, and broad civic and military virtues. Currently, the Venezuelan military has a holistic vision of the State and politics, as well as of the meaning of the homeland,” Padrino Lopez said, referring to the context in which the military drills are conducted.

He emphasized that the world order built by the United States is deteriorating “as if it were made of paper,” with notorious geopolitical consequences. Venezuela, however, is prepared for any eventuality that these changes may generate.

“We have a consistent armed force, patriotic unity, and authentic political leadership that is focused on building a true democracy close to the people,” Padrino Lopez stressed.

Padrino Lopez also confirmed that the FANB is deployed throughout the country to safeguard Venezuelan sovereignty and peace against threats not only from the United States but also from groups linked to terrorism and international drug trafficking.

“We must neutralize, reject, and expel any armed group operating in the country. By constitutional obligation, the FANB has the mission to defend and guarantee national independence,” he emphasized, noting that Venezuela is experiencing an “undeclared war.”

Padrino Lopez emphasized that all events of the Sovereign Caribbean 200 drills have been carried out according to schedule, without any setbacks or incidents.

“Extraordinary coordination has been implemented, which has allowed each activity to be carried out with full safety. Our homeland is impregnable! Venezuela is not a threat, it is a territory of peace,” he stressed.
