The Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) has guaranteed, by preventing the anarchy induced by fascism from having access to political power, democratic and constitutional continuity in our country, emphasized Defense Minister G/J Vladimir Padrino López.

“What state of anarchy and chaos would we be in Venezuela if the military institution, without its values, principles and republican morality, had allowed fascism, personalist ambition and access to political power through non-constitutional means to prevail?” , he questioned during a joint radio and television broadcast.

In this regard, he stressed that, despite the recent aggression suffered by our country, the FANB will continue to guarantee the democratic continuity of Venezuela, because “order and peace are our ports.”
