Venezuela Guarantee Its
Defense, Chavez
CARACAS - President Hugo Chavez said
Venezuela is preparing to guarantee defense
of the national sovereignty in times when
aggressions against the South American
nation have been intensified.
Chavez announced that the country would
create militias with students, farmers and
workers who will join that task.
"We are getting ready, so nobody can make a
mistake with us," the statesman said on
Saturday during a resources-giving ceremony
to small and medium business people, to
boost domestic production in sectors that
allow replacing imports.
Chavez expressed gratitude on Saturday for
the Russian government support to Venezuela
to increase its military capacity and its
firm stance against US pressures.
The Venezuela president stressed the stance
of Vladimir Putin and Dmitri Medvedev, his
successor in the Kremlin, who did not flag
to Washington pressures to stop Caracas from
purchasing weapons and other defensive
equipment.
The president exhorted the country, in a
speech broadcast on television on Saturday
night, to go trough the transition to the
socialist model, with national formulae.
