Chávez Warns any Coup d'Etat
Attempt will Fail
CARACAS -Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez
warned that if eight years ago the people
defeated a coup d'Etat in less than 72
hours, today it is organizEd in a militia
which will neutralize any other attempt.
In his column "The Chavez Lines", the
president recalled that after the attempt of
April 11, 2002, a disarmed people together
with its soldiers ousted the dictatorship,
but today "it forms and prepares in the new
defense and war of all the people doctrine."
Alluding to the militias promoted by his
government, he remembered the oath of over
30 thousand militia members last April 13,
anniversary of the rescue of the
constitutional line eight years ago.
Now that people is armed, forms and prepare
in the new defense and all people war
doctrine, he stressed.
The president said that then the joint
action of people and soldiers "broke the
dams of the fascist tyranny and the media
rabble, following their northern lord's
orders wanted to impose them."
Chavez considered the April 13 actions an
awakening of the conscience on the road to
definitive independence through socialism.
In his Sunday column, the Venezuelan
dignitary also ratified the high level of
cooperation confirmed in his last week's
visit to Nicaragua.
He said in that country documents were
signed aimed to strengthen bilateral
cooperation in areas essential as health,
energy, food and tourism and a new
cooperation equation to raise and extend
their level.
He also extolled the contribution made by
Cuba to the free health program Barrio
Adentro that just turned seven years, during
which over 1.6 million lives were saved and
over 400 million consultations made.
Seven years, he said, radically changing
reality of the great majority of Venezuelans
that have today a health system constantly
growing and consolidating.
It is fact without precedence in the history
of Humanity only possible in socialism, said
Chavez, who also recognized the contribution
made by thousands of Cuban doctors in Barrio
Adentro, cornerstone of the national health
system. Chavez also highlighted that each
day more Venezuelan doctors join that
program and tens of thousands of students
prepare to continue conveying health to all
the corners of Venezuela and Latin America.
