He added that this “rupture” was “inevitable, urgent and necessary”, and that it was embodied as an “idea, as a theory, for a new republican era, in that blue book written by that Barinese boy Hugo Chavez Friasthat cadet predestined to greatness”.
“We have to know that (in) these long 30 years that we have lived, our military forces, today our Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), with all its components, merged with the people, that is to say that our military forces returned to their popular roots”, added.
