The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, this Wednesday, December 10, recalled the analogy made by Commander Hugo Chávez of the Battle of Santa Inés, with the Presidential Recall Referendum held on August 15, 2004.
“In the end, it was the same battle between the Devil and Florentino, in other words: the empire against Venezuela a,” he highlighted during his Con El Mazo Dando program, on broadcast number 555.
He stated that “that song was already famous, but Commander Chávez played it for people to remember and it became a combat anthem.”
In that sense, Cabello stated that “this is how Venezuelans are like this small stanza: 'I am like the thorn that blooms in the savanna: I give scent to what passes by and hawthorn to the one who wiggles me'”.
He also stressed that the aforementioned battle is one of the classics of the art of war applied in the country, “it was the genius Ezequiel Zamora”.
He also emphasized that in Venezuela “every day there is an exercise of participatory democracy.”
The Battle of Santa Inés was fought on December 10, 1859 in the Province of Barinas, Venezuela.
