The president of Venezuela, called this morning to the fact that the people who in the last two weeks enrolled in the Bolivarian Militia, a reservened body composed of volunteers, already come this Friday to the “first activation” to defend the country.
The Chavista launched the call during a state television station, VTV ,. The temperature rose, above all, after Washington announced that in the Caribbean waters, having sailed from Venezuelan territory. His action left 11 dead, supposedly members of the band of.
“We are going to make the first activation of all the enlisted and enlisted, of the entire national militia as a whole, and the reservists, to join the great organizational and mobilization of forces, for the first time in the military history of the country,” Maduro said.
In the meeting with authorities of his government and the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), broadcast on television to La Nación, he said that it is also called that he called “powerful base” of 4.5 million militiamen “already trained for years”, which will be joined by the more than eight million that, he said, were enlightened in the militia.
The Chavista leader said that “for the first time in the military history of the country” which he called Communal Units of Militia (UCM) will be activated in 5,336 communities, and explained that each of them will have “a set of popular bases of integral defense”, which are a total of 15,751, where the enlisted will be incorporated.
Subsequently, the militiamen will be called to participate in days with, said Maduro, without offering more details.
“You Venezuelan, you Venezuelan, compatriot Amado, who loves this country and who is willing to defend it, for your family, for your community, for our history, for dignity, you will have the homeland system where it is already established permanently,” he emphasized.
“We are facing extremist currents of the north, Naziextremista, (…) that intend to threaten the peace of South America, of the Caribbean, and intend to continue attacking the rights of the peoples of the world”
Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela
For the Head of State, the enlistment process that took place in the second half of last month “had a great world impact” and Venezuela, he said, “amazed the world” with these registration days in the militia.
In this regard, he confirmed that this inscription “will be permanent” and, in that sense, announced the implementation of the permanent enlistment system (SAP) through the homeland system, a virtual platform of the State. Maduro highlighted the “absolute capacity” of the country to “succeed peace in any circumstance” and to “defend against so many psychological threats and wars.”
“We are facing extremist currents of the north, Naziextremista, (…) that intend to threaten the peace of South America, of the Caribbean, and intend to continue attacking the rights of the peoples of the world,” he added.
The US had announced the deployment of warships in the Caribbean to combat drug trafficking. However, Venezuela considers that this maneuver represents a threat and therefore opened days so that citizens could register in the Bolivarian militia. This reservists body was created in 2005 by the then president with the name of General Command of the National Reserve and National Mobilization and in 2009 it changed it to Militia Bolivarian.
Maduro’s ads are added to Venezuela’s responses against the actions of the United States, which in July appointed the so -called Aragua train as an international terrorist organization and accused Maduro of leading him. Caracas rejects both the accusations against Maduro and the existence of the group itself, which it was dismantled in 2023, when it agreed to the jail where its hard core had.
Even so, in the specific case of the attack on Tuesday, the Miraflores Palace continues to insist that we are facing a US propaganda maneuver and that the aggression. This time has been the Attorney General of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, who has questioned the veracity of the news. “If the event occurred, which did not happen, the first thing was to seek to stop, without annihilating without prior combat, to that alleged boat, (of the) that the coordinates have not said, where it came from, how it came out, who were there. Simply an animated video,” Saab said an act of the Public Ministry (MP, Prosecutor’s Office) in a place in Caracas, transmitted by the private channel Globovisión.
Denunciation of Washington
For its part, the United States Department of Defense also denounced this morning that two F-16 fighters of Venezuela flew over the destroyer USS Jason Dunham, which was sailed in International Waters of the Caribbean. In an official statement, he described this act as a “provocative maneuver” to interfere with the actions against the “”.
In addition, a Pentagon spokesman, cited by various US media, described the maneuver as a “demonstration of unnecessary and dangerous force”, ensuring that the US Navy “will continue to operate with freedom and security in any part of the world where international law allows it.”
The USON Dunham is part of the United States Maritime Security operations in the South Caribbean, where it deployed eight warships and three amphibious ships with more than 4,500 troops deployed as part of its operations in the “fight against drug trafficking.”
