President Maduro indicated that Venezuela is standing today, proud and rebellious in defense of its ideals, and “will not kneel before anyone.” Maduro invited the students to “fill themselves with the strength of Carabobo to fulfill the role that we have: to defend, to build, and liberate Venezuela from the clutches of North American imperialism, that intends to defeat us and bring us to our knees.”
June 24, 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo, the military milestone in which the Venezuelan patriot army, under the command of Simón Bolívar, defeated the Spanish empire, taking a definitive step to seal the independence of Venezuela.
