March 9, Chavistas celebrate 4 year anniversary of Obama declaration as Anti-Imperialist Day
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has declared March 9 the Venezuelan anti-imperialist day.
CARACAS – On this day in 2015, U.S. President Barack Obama issued an order declaring Venezuela a threat to U.S security and extended sanctions against seven top Venezuelan officials.
“We will never forget this and on every March 9 we will celebrate the day of Bolivarian Anti-Imperialism in Venezuela, I hereby declare that March 9 will be the anti-imperialist day.”
Maduro claimed that Obama’s executive order has “caused a wave of global outrage against his unwise, erratic decision.”
Washington’s move included freezing assets that seven Venezuelan officials may hold in U.S. jurisdictions, and accusing them of human rights violations during anti-government protests in Venezuela in 2014.

It falls on a Saturday this year. Another paid day off next year!
Has another Chavista sanctioned slum will be named after it? 9 de Marzo?
