“The Venezuelan people are today more Chavista than ever, and we state with love: Chávez lives!” expressed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, speaking before a large crowd gathered outside Miraflores Palace.
The Bolivarian leader was accompanied by Heads of State and officials attending the 15th Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), in an act recalling the legacy of Comandante Hugo Chávez.
Five years after the death of the former President of Venezuela, the Chavista people are “victorious and ready to continue advancing,” he stated.
Regarding the country’s upcoming elections scheduled for May 20, the Head of State called on citizens to vote for peace and national unity, no matter their political affiliation.
Meanwhile, a cannon salute was held at the Cuartel de la Montaña, as part of commemorative activities marking five years since the death of the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution.
The ceremony was also attended by members of the National Bolivarian Armed Forces (FANB), as well as relatives of the socialist leader, including his daughters María Gabriela Chávez and Rosa Virginia Chávez.
