This Thursday, the Venezuelan people took to the streets of Caracas in a mobilization to mark the 36th anniversary of the popular revolt of El Caracazo.

From the early hours of the morning, a mobilized people occupied the spaces as a sign of revolution and of denial in the face of the interventionist pretensions of capitalism and imperial attacks.

The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, asserted that the most important thing that is happening today is the empowerment of Popular Power.

“ Nowadays, the nation's budget is directed by communities and not by what a bureaucrat creates from an office,” said Cabello, during the mobilization commemorating the 36th anniversary of February 27, 1989, he highlighted in his words during the day.

Cabello added that the People remain firm and stand in the face of every imperial aggression in their intentions to seize the country's resources.

“We have learned a few things right now. We have learned to read signs. We can see the attacks from a long distance. We can see the intentions of imperialism because we have seen it in different ways, different presidents,” said Cabello during the popular mobilization to commemorate the 36th anniversary of the Caracazo, on February 27, 1989.

The Caracazo or social outbreak began in Guarenas, Miranda state, with the wave of protests that later spread throughout Venezuela, in a rejection of the neoliberal measures applied by the government of Carlos Andrés Pérez and recognized by the International Monetary Fund, while the country was mired in a serious economic crisis.
