Bolivarian National Armed
Forces Ratify the Legitimacy
of
Nicolás Maduro as the Constitutional President of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
- Ministry of People's Power for
Defence -
This Thursday, January 24, the Sectoral Vice
President
for Political Sovereignty, Security and Peace and People's Power
Minister of Defence, General-in-Chief Vladimir Padrino
López,
accompanied by the expanded Superior General Staff of the
Bolivarian
National Armed Forces, took a firm and unwavering stand to reject
the
illegal actions that a parallel government intends to carry out
in
Venezuela and, at the same time, ratified the Bolivarian National
Armed
Forces' (FANB) full adherence to the Constitution and laws of the
Republic.
Also, during the reading of the official
statement from
his office in Fuerte Tiuna, the head of the military reproached
the
interference by foreign governments, which he described as
"disrespectful of international law and the principle of the
self-determination of peoples."
On the other hand, the Minister of Defence
guaranteed
citizens peace as well as the proper functioning of State
institutions, saying vandalism or terrorist acts will not be
tolerated.
In the same vein, the Bolivarian National Armed
Forces
recognized -- once again -- the legitimacy of
Nicolás Maduro Moros, as Constitutional President of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and Commander-in-Chief of the
FANB, emphasizing that he was elected on May 20, 2018, through
free, universal, direct and secret elections.
In the statement, Padrino López said that
"for a
long
time a vulgar coup d'état has been in the making against
the
legitimately constituted government of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela by sectors of the extreme right, brazenly supported by
imperial agents."
In this regard, he denounced the claim of
"establishing
a de facto parallel government, lacking legality and
popular
support, for the shadowy purpose of generating chaos and anarchy
in our
society."
Finally, the General-in-Chief reiterated that the
military will never accept a President who has been imposed,
or self-proclaimed outside the law; nor will it ever be
subordinated to a foreign power or to a government that is not
democratically elected by the people of Venezuela.
Military detachments across Venezuela reaffirm their loyalty to
the
legitimate government of Venezuela headed by President Maduro,
and the
Bolivarian Revolution, January 24, 2019.
