Military Commanders Pronounce Themselves in Support of Maduro and the Constitution
Different military commanders spoke on Wednesday on social networks in support of the Constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro; to the Bolivarian Constitution, as well as in rejection of the pretensions of the deputy Juan Guaidó to become president in charge of Venezuela.
The Minister of Defense, General in Chief Vladimir Padrino López, said via Twitter that “despair and intolerance threaten the peace of the Nation. The soldiers of the Homeland do not accept a president imposed in the shadow of obscure interests or self-proclaimed outside the law. The FANB defends our Constitution and is guarantor of national sovereignty.”
El desespero y la intolerancia atentan contra la paz de la Nación. Los soldados de la Patria no aceptamos a un presidente impuesto a la sombra de oscuros intereses ni autoproclamado al margen de la Ley. La FANB defiende nuestra Constitución y es garante de la soberanía nacional.

We are respectful of the Constitution and the Laws. Venezuela elected President, we are sovereign and loyal to our Commander in Chief, Nicolás Maduro Moros. Traitors, do not continue from abroad to disrespect the Homeland! We will fight and we will win!”
