The vice-president and ministers marched with up to a million people today to defend the Bolivarian revolution on Democracy Day, while the opposition march turned out to be a small rally. Further, sectors of the far right have called on the armed forces to resist what they referred to as the “invasion” of “Castro-communism” in Venezuela.

Today’s marches commemorate 23 January 1958, when a civic-military movement overthrew the Marcos Jimenez dictatorship. However, this year the opposition first called a march for the date, to reject what it has called the “unconstitutional” measures taken by the national government, as President Chavez wasn’t able to be present at his swearing-in ceremony on 10 January while he was recovering from an operation for cancer.

In response, the PSUV also convoked a large march, together with other movements and organisations, with the slogan “The people will never be betrayed again”.

1. “The people will never be betrayed again”. Good for the people of Venezuela.

They are dealing with the reality at hand, and have set their eyes on their country's needs, and goals which must be met.

It's quite a far cry from the right-wing scums' persistant attempts to protray the Venezuelan peopoe of being taken in by a massive "cult of personallity" like a mass of lemmings. They signal they intend to pursue raising the quality of life for the masses, not only for the nasty realm of oligarchs who have controlled Venezuela in the past.

Very, very good news, people of conscience support them.
