Indigenous, Afro, and Revolutionary Forces Continue Fighting in the Streets: Maduro

Caracas (Telesurtv): Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro expressed his solidarity with the March to commemorate 532 years of Indigenous Resistance in Caracas, and questioned whether Spain should celebrate October 12 as a national date when in fact the populations of the Americas were robbed and murdered.

   “Now they say it’s Hispanity Day and we are Hispanic, they call us Hispanoamerica,” but he rejected this slogan and reaffirmed that ”we are Our America rebel, the America of resistance, make no mistake,” said Maduro.

   “Long live the Day of Indigenous Resistance, long live the Indian Homeland, we are a fighting people and have only one march, 532 years marching towards the process of decolonization; they, surnames, empires are heirs of colonialism, of slavery and all forms of discrimination and crime”, declared the head of State.

   President Maduro said that fascism is the heir and direct expression of colonialism, and that today’s fascists are the heirs of the worst in human history.

   In contrast, Maduro considers himself and his people to be the heirs of the noblest and most beautiful resistance, represented by the indigenous “great chief Guaicaipuro.”

   “Here we are, the children of who faced them, who did not kneel and who did not submit our American people; we are a perfect blend of diversity, a demonstration that the popular indigenous, Afro, and revolutionary forces continue in the streets because the streets belong to the people and not to the oligarchy,” he said.

   The text highlights the recognition of Commander Hugo Chávez for making the indigenous cause visible in Venezuela, pushing its recognition in the Constitution and laws and requests to consolidate an institute that rescues indigenous languages and housing plans, health and education in the indigenous communities.

   He concluded by stating that the 532-year resistance of the indigenous peoples joins the resistance of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria against the same colonizing powers, and calls for preparation to remain at the forefront of just causes.
