As part of the celebrations for the birth of the revolutionary leader Hugo Chávez, the executive secretary of the Sao Paulo Forum, Mónica Valente, emphasized that the best way to honor the Venezuelan ex-president is to "continue his struggle for the sovereignty and protagonist participation of the peoples, to combat poverty and imperial forces, "says Telesur.

The Cuban president stressed the consensus reached during the development of the Forum, which gave an account "of the concerns of the neo-liberal offensive and imperial attacks, but also demonstrates the resistance of the peoples of the world."

"Venezuela is today the first trench of the anti-imperialist struggle," Díaz-Canel said about the importance of the Bolivarian process for the peoples of the region.

President Maduro stressed the importance of the unity of the Latin American and Caribbean left "from the moral, spiritual and political point of view. We have to achieve the union of all progressive forces with a great project that will unify the popular forces," he said.

Given the constant "imperialist calls to despair and division", the Venezuelan president said that Bolivarianism is "indigenous response of Venezuela to the crisis of the model of pro-imperialist domination that was imposed in the country." (RHC)
