🇻🇪 Entire Venezuelan military responds to new Western sanctions with pledge of loyalty to elected president Maduro

"The National Bolivarian Armed Forces, as true heirs of the glory of Simón Bolívar and sons of Hugo Chávez, have remained unbroken for more than two decades of widespread war against Venezuela.

But these brutal maneuvers, far from humiliating men and women of honor, strengthen our Bolivarian convictions of dignity and self-determination, enlivening in our hearts the unbreakable struggle for freedom, sovereignty and independence of our homeland.

Our Bolivarian warrior spirit, Chavista and anti-imperialist, in perfect popular-police-military fusion, ratifies the lawful mandate expressed by the people on July 28, 2024. 

That is why we reiterate our solidarity to those who today are victims of imperial arrogance. 

No sanction will be able to violate the dignity of the sons and daughters of Simón Bolívar and Hugo Chávez. 

Chávez lives! The motherland continues!"
