POSSESSION IN VENEZUELA
Oath of Chavez, anti-Bolivarian
The oath of President Hugo Chávez, to assume his new mandate at the head destination of Venezuela ("Fatherland, socialism or death"), you can emulate Cuban President Fidel Castro but is anti-Bolivarian: at the time, the Liberator Simón Bolívar disavowed the slogan "Freedom or death. "
In a letter to General Santander, vice president of Greater Colombia, Bolivar repudiated President Robespierre, who had introduced the currency during the French Revolution. From El Rosario de Cucuta, on June 26, 1820, in postscript a letter that praised the victory of Boyaca Bridge which ensured the independence of the former Viceroyalty of New Granada, Bolívar criticized the Gazette of Chile, who had adopted the slogan "Freedom or death" and was editor guidelines Santander to create the Gaceta de Bogotá.
Renowned journalist, Bolivar said that the Gazette of Chile "is very small, does not contain anything about materials and plenty of good press. Let you remove the glyph; Give you the title Gazette Bogotá and columns are filled with smaller font there. "He added:
" You can also save Liberty or death: all that smacks of Robespierre and Christopher, two demons extreme opposition to the ideas of enlightened moderation. Fortune saves us the dire need of being terrorists "(Lecuyer, Vicente, Collected Works, Volume I, Editorial Lex, Havana, Cuba, 1950, pg. 462).
Beyond the historical origin of the term, it is surprising that two centuries after the French Revolution can be invoked by contemporary revolutionary. Freedom is a right and not in opposition to the death, which is the negation of everything.
Maximilian de Robespierre (1758-1794) led the radical faction of the Jacobins who introduced the regime of terror and the guillotine ended June 28, 1794.
