The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, recalled this Wednesday the vile assassination of the independence hero and General in Chief of the Liberation Army, José Félix Ribas, who took up with courage and courage, together with El Libertador Simón Bolívar, the struggles for the emancipation of the Fatherland.

“209 years have passed since the leap into eternity of G/J José Félix Ribas, one of the most brilliant lieutenants of the Liberator Simon Bolivar, terror of tyranny and hero of youth. His courage and character run through our streets and barracks, inspiring with his immortal harangue: “It's Necessary to Win!” , said the Head of State through the social network X.

Ribas participated in numerous struggles for the independence of Venezuela, with the Battle of La Victoria, on February 12, 1814, his most outstanding heroic feat, succeeding in stopping the realist forces of José Tomás Boves with unexperienced troops, consisting mainly of young students and seminarians that he had managed to recruit.
