Chávez: “We are achieving our second independence in Latin America“

ABN 01/07/2008

Venezuela’s President, Hugo Chávez, stated that a new freedom phase glimpses in South America and the exclusion mechanisms that have historically characterized the life development of the peoples of the region come off.

After arriving in the international airport Teniente Benjamin Matienzo in San Miguel de Tucumán, the Venezuelan head of State sent regards to the Argentinean people and expressed that “the second independence in Latin America” is in motion and the political scene shows it.

He mentioned the new dynamic after the arrival of progressive governments like Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela.

“We won’t be really independent if we don’t break the exclusion mechanisms completely,” he pointed out.

Though he warned that, in the political aspect, “we have a lot to do to be completely free,” President Chávez stated that the South American countries are now more independent than 10 years ago, when the capitalist vision ruled in the Argentinean government.

The Venezuelan president arrived in the capital of the Tucumán province together with the ministries of People’s Power for Energy and Oil, Rafael Ramírez, Foreign Affairs, Nicolás Maduro; Food, Félix Osorio; as well as the Ambassador of Venezuela to Argentina, Arévalo Méndez and the Argentinean diplomatic representative in Caracas, Alicia Castro.
