HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 3 . The President of the Cuban National Assembly (Parliament), Ricardo Alarcon, offered the closing remarks of a ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Bolivarian Revolution held on Monday afternoon at the theater of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Forces that was presided over by Cuban Vice-President and Revolution Commander Juan Almeida Bosque.
During his speech, Alarcon said that the celebrations in Cuba for the 10th anniversary of the Bolivarian revolution were taking place “under the image and thoughts of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, the most loyal follower of the ideals of Jose Marti and Simon Bolivar.”
The Cuban legislator added that when Hugo Chavez assumed power in Venezuela exactly ten years ago after he won the presidential elections with the overwhelming support of the people, he was putting an end to decades of corrupt governments at the service of foreign monopolies to which they gave away Venezuela’s oil, iron and other natural resources, while the Venezuelan people lived in abject poverty.
“When Chavez assumed power, most of the people were unemployed, they lacked medical services and education and 80% lived in poverty,” Alarcon recalled.
“Under his Administration, people’s life has changed substantially: UNESCO declared the country free from illiteracy in December 2005; unemployment and poverty have decreased significantly; elementary education has expanded and thousands of youths from low-income families have been given access to university education, just to mention a few examples,” the Cuban official stressed.
The President of the Cuban Parliament also highlighted the Venezuelan people’s support of Hugo Chavez and criticized recent and ongoing disinformation maneuvers by the Empire to undermine the Bolivarian Revolution.
During his speech, Alarcon demanded that Washington extradites international and self-confessed terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to Venezuela or that they judge him in the United States for his crimes, including the 1976 mid-air bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed all
73 people onboard.
He added that Cuba will continue demanding the release of five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters who remain unjustly imprisoned in the United States. “International solidarity is more urgent and necessary than ever,” he pointed out.
The ceremony was attended by Communist Party officials, officers of the Armed Forces and the Interior Ministry, and the Venezuelan Minister of Economy and Finances, Ali Rodriguez.
