The Venezuelan people want to live in peace, free and in happiness, without guardianship, so the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) together with the Government are working on the offensive against threats against our country, said the Minister of Defense, G/J Vladimir Padrino López.

“Supreme social happiness is the goal of humanity and of Venezuela. We don't want happiness kneeling, enslaved. We need to live in peace, without tutoring, without aggression,” said the senior military officer.

In this regard, in statements made this Thursday, Padrino highlighted that all the living forces present in the country are working to ensure that Venezuela is maintained and developed as a dignified, sovereign and independent homeland.

On the other hand, the senior military official highlighted the tireless work carried out by the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) to ensure the maintenance and restoration of internal order in the country.
