As part of the commemoration for Nicaragua's Day of National Dignity, this Monday authorities from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Central American country paid tribute to the Liberator Simon Bolivar, with a floral offering before the sarcophagus of the Father of the Fatherland in the National Pantheon, Caracas.

The activity was led by the Deputy Minister for Latin America of the Ministry of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs, Rander Peña; the Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruíz; the Ambassador of the Republic of Nicaragua to Venezuela, María Isabel Martínez; in addition to the diplomatic corps accredited in Caracas.

On May 4, 1927, General Augusto César Sandino refused to sign the Black Hawthorn Pact and rebelled against the intervening troops of the United States empire that were in the country.

In this sense, during the Sandinista Revolution (1980-1990), May 4 was declared National Dignity Day, to commemorate that act of patriotism and dignity by Sandino, who with a handful of men faced the most powerful army in the world in an anti-interventionist war that lasted seven years (1927-1934), until he was cowardly assassinated on February 21, 1934.

Caracas and Managua maintain close strategic and political cooperative relations and have joined forces against foreign interventionism on the part of North American imperialism.
