La Habana 21 de julio 2008
On the occasion of the 19th anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista revolution, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez warned that the world crisis would continue to grow and said that the greatest crisis is the lack of common sense on the part of those who rule the world, citing a letter written to him by Fidel Castro.
Before an estimated 450,000 people, Chávez sent a message to the next leaders of the United States, saying,
“We don’t want war, we want a peaceful change to search for deep and true peace for our people. We don’t want more destabilizations,” he said.
“The only thing we demand is that they respect the sovereignty of the peoples of the region, because we are no longer lackeys, nor are we subordinate to any foreign power,” he said.
Chávez said that Latin Americans had awoken again like a volcano.
A multipolar world is being shaped, he said, and we demand that the United States and Europe respect our peoples and the human rights of our emigrants.
