The mayor of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, stressed that the People of Venezuela took to the streets throughout the national territory to send the message that “this is a people with conscience and with a lot of history, through its veins flows the blood of chiefs and warriors, that “this country is respected and no one is going to come and steal it”.

“More united than ever and what we want is peace, peace, and more peace,” he emphasized.

Meléndez accompanied the people of Caracas in a resounding protest to reject the theft of the Venezuelan oil tanker in Caribbean waters by the United States government in its actions to illegally appropriate Venezuela's resources.

At the rally against Yankee Piracy, in La Vega, in Caracas, he stated that every day we are getting stronger “because we love the Homeland more, all this that we have experienced in recent years, has reinforced in our hearts that this Homeland is sacred and is being defended”.

“No one is going to come to steal our Homeland, that we are here, the people in the street to defend it,” he reiterated.

Meléndez commented that this month of December “brings us many memories of that December 08, when now on this date, we celebrate the Day of Love and Loyalty. Loyalty to our Eternal Commander, who on December 8, 13 years ago, told us that difficult times were coming.”

“We have experienced those difficult times and we are living through them. We resisted them, but he asked us for unity, the unity of patriots,” he recalled.

He also assured that the Venezuelan people will not let themselves be taken away from Christmas.
