Nicolas Maduro News: Venezuelan President Says There Is ‘Nothing But Revolution’ In Latin America

Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, said yesterday that in Latin America there is "nothing but revolution" to highlight the "renewed energy" of the 'Sandinistas' in Nicaragua, where on Saturday he attended a rally commemorating the victory 35 years ago of the Sandinista revolution which overthrew dictator Anastasio Somoza. He praised the efforts of Nicoraguan revolutionaries and drew comparisons to Hugo Chavez.

"There's nothing but revolution in Latin America, it is our heritage, forever, from the indigenous resistance to the national liberation struggle and the Bolivarian liberators," Maduro said. "All the energy was there in [the late President Hugo) Chavez, in slogans, in the songs," he said. Cuban leader Fidel Castro also commemorated the Sandinista revolution, writing that Nicaragua has become "an irreversible bastion of anti-imperialist struggle."

"I welcome the Sandinista victory of July 19 with the same enthusiasm; like the victories of July 26, 1953 or January 1, 1959, "Fidel Castro wrote in a message sent to President Ortega, for the commemoration. The former Cuban president says Ortega and his wife Rosario Murillo, "occupy a place of honor in the history of the peoples of this continent, that someday may also have the laborious and intelligent people of the United States."
