Caracas, November 28 (RHC)-- The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has reiterated the call to all Venezuelans to vote in the consultative referendum of next Sunday, December 3rd, in defense of the Essequibo.
During the broadcast of his program Con Maduro Más, the head of state indicated that Venezuela has a commitment with history, so he urged everyone to go to the polls and fulfill "the oath with the Homeland".
"My vote, your vote is for everyone, it is for everyone, it is for Venezuela, for peace, for dignity and respect for our Homeland," he emphasized, while assuring that the exercise of the vote means standing up to illegal maneuvers to strip Venezuela of what belongs to it.
Likewise, he urged the Venezuela Toda campaign command to deploy with greater force throughout the country so that people know how to exercise their right to vote.
The head of state also highlighted the role played by the National Assembly in this process, which has led it to call a referendum on the issue for the first time in the nation's history
"The National Assembly did what it had to do, debated the issue, consulted on the issue and for the first time in the history of Venezuela, a consultative referendum is called to decide a unique position of the country on the Essequiba Guyana", he stressed.
Previously, the Venezuelan president participated in an act at the "El Libertador" Air Base, in Aragua State, where he assured that "the hour of justice is approaching", when referring to the consultative referendum to be held next Sunday.
In this sense, he specified that Venezuelans will have the opportunity to do justice and express their will.
The head of state pointed out that the Monroe Doctrine has endorsed the history of plundering sovereign nations, since it was dictated by John Q. Adams and attributed to U.S. President James Monroe in 1823.
"It was with the Monroe Doctrine that they executed the plan to cut off one of Venezuela's arms, trying to take away the Essequibo and, currently, it is with the Monroe Doctrine that they intend to continue with their vassalage and plundering (...) But in life the time of justice comes and if we have had to resist unjust aggressions, threats and plundering, the time of justice will come", he stressed.
The President recalled that the Monroe Doctrine reaches its 200th anniversary in 2023, so its essence must be denounced with rebellion and confronted in all "the fields we have to confront it because we are not and never will be slaves of anyone, slaves of the gringos, a colony of no one. Independence or nothing!
Likewise, he warned that "nobody should make a mistake with Venezuela", since 31 years ago the men-at-arms of the South American nation said no to liberalism.
