The Venezuelan transport sector staged a major mobilization this Tuesday to demand the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and the first Cilia Flores, kidnapped during the criminal military aggression perpetrated by the United States (USA) against the country, on January 3.

From the Caracas Polyhedron to Bolívar Avenue, the carriers, coming from various regions of the country, expressed their absolute support for the first national president, whom they described as the “ carrier president” and legitimate leader of the nation.

Those attending the caravan also called for the unity of the Latin American peoples in the face of imperialist aggression and recalled Simón Bolívar's legacy of freedom, stressing that the union remains on its feet of struggle and social cohesion until the Head of State resumes his functions at the head of Venezuela.

Testimonials:

“Nowadays we tell the whole world that we are against those gringos who want to cover the whole country. Well, Venezuela will not be one of them, we are already here fighting to defend our Homeland and the transport sector is taking to the streets today to show the whole world that we are on our knees on the ground, as our commander Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías said,” said one of the carriers present.

Juan Gaspar, a motorcyclist from Caracas, said: “ We are here to defend our Homeland and to tell that empire that they will not be able to handle us and will no longer set foot on Venezuelan soil, because here is the transport sector for the whole world to see defending Venezuela.”

For his part, Javier Manrique, another member of the union, stressed that “here are the transporting people telling President Nicolás Maduro, the only, legitimate and constitutional one, that we are still kneeling on the ground. We must be very proud of the courage that our president has. Once he was kidnapped with his very dignified and proud face, the gringos stood up and said his things to him. 'I am a prisoner of war and I am still President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela '”, quoted the words of the President.

This massive deployment is part of the permanent street actions that various social sectors have called for in the capital to reject foreign intervention and demand the release of the presidential couple.
