The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, pointed out that in 2002 the People and the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) took to the streets to demand the return of Commander Hugo Chávez to the presidency, who had been hit by sectors of the right wing in a coup d'etat that was defeated within 48 hours.

“April 11, 12 and 13 is the hurricane of a town that didn't take it down, the hurricane of a town that responded to those who hurt it so much (...) on April 11 and 12, Pueblo and the Armed Forces came out to demand their President united,” Cabello said during his Con El Mazo Dando 522 program.

He emphasized that it was Commander Chávez who pushed civic-military union ever since he came to power. “People and Armed Forces, Armed Forces and People, two arms of the same body,” he said.

In this regard, he recalled how on February 27, 1989, under the command of the current government, the Armed Forces came out to suppress the people; which is why on February 4, 1992, it was up to the soldiers to go out alone.

In addition, he pointed out “that, if February 4 had not happened in Venezuela, November 27 and Chávez had not won the election of 98, quietly, the story that would be told would be that of the bandits, looters of February 27, but today you know that they were not looters, the people today know that those comrades were massacred”.
