05:49dying on the battlefield after famously the British Legion,
05:55a group of foreign volunteers that also stood shoulder to the immense discipline

07:36that, months before the battle, meticulously organized the patriotic forces,
07:40consolidating divisions from different regions into one unified army.
07:47In the early 19th century, let's recall this for the,
07:53let's know this for the, to fully understand how important is the state of Venezuela,
08:00because in the early 19th century, revolution was rife across Latin America,
08:04taking cues from both the American and French revolutions,
08:08and a few decades before Napoleonic control of Spain.
08:13As we're seeing right now, these are images of the acting president, Delcy RodrĂguez,

08:38As we were seeing right now, this is a very important day to remember,
08:41because in the early 19th century, revolution was rife across Latin America,
08:47taking cues from both the American and French revolutions a few decades before.
08:52Napoleonic controlled Spain, the wars that followed,
08:54and the continued unrest only stuck the flames of the revolution,
08:58and also called for independence across the whole continent.
09:03A key leader in this war for independence and the unification of Latin America was SimĂłn BolĂvar.
09:09His leadership and military career played key roles in the success of the wars in the independence.
09:16In this day, the people in Venezuela celebrated with military praise and a close old SimĂłn BolĂvar's squares

09:39and also for the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge RodrĂguez.

09:47Also, let's recall that this battle was shown the strength of SimĂłn BolĂvar,
09:56and also his military only grew with the rivals of volunteers to the cause of Spanish Imperials' allies.
10:03On June 24, 1918-21, BolĂvar's troops concentrated at Carabobo,
10:10and some suggest there were 7,500 soldiers, whilst others say there were 8,000 men strong,
10:18with the aid of the British battalion.
10:20However, what is certain is that the royalist forces were greatly outnumbered.
10:26Deception played a key role during the Battle of Carabobo.
10:31BolĂvar split his troops in half, and one group focused on the center of the battle.
10:36The other was sent on a flanking maneuver to envelop the Spanish forces from the side.
10:41Let's recall, as we're seeing right now, these are images of the act of commemoration

10:57Nancy RodrĂguez, accompanied by other top officials of the country.

11:09Let's recall that to understand the magnitude that it has to not only Venezuela,
11:14but also the Latin American country, the June 24th, 1821,
11:21we must look at the strategic genius of the liberator, Simone BolĂvar.
11:25Months before the two this battle, Simone BolĂvar meticulously organized the patriotic forces,
11:32consolidating divisions from different regions into a single unified army.
11:37He understood that divisions meant defeat and unity meant freedom.
11:41The Sabana of Carabobo became the ultimate stage,
11:46facing a highly disciplined and heavily entrenched Spanish royalist army.
11:51BolĂvar executed a brilliant tactical maneuver instead of a predictable frontal assault.
11:56He ordered a surprise flanking movement thrown a row of difficult paths known as Pica de la Mona.
12:03This unexpected move caught the royalist forces completely off guard,
12:08breaking their defensive lines, and sealing a decisive victory in just under an hour of intense combat.
12:17Let's recall that we are seeing right now, as we were saying,
12:22these are images of the acting president, Delsi RodrĂguez,

34:22it was himself that seven years later will hold the victory battle of the immortal field of Carabobo, the liberator
34:35as the most difficult of his military career.
34:41But with the... that he directed to...
34:48He was collected in the famous diary of Bucaramanga.
34:54He said that someone in the future to write the story, the truth with those details,
35:04when by his own expression everything was lost, nor the military honor.
35:17Commemorating your victory and also the victory of the Venezuelan people in June 24, 1821,
35:25we celebrate analyzing your lessons, all in presence of our chief commander and also acting president, Delcy Rodriguez.
35:40First woman in the Venezuelan history to occupy the most high rank and also she's a defender of your legacy.
35:52The commander-in-chief.
35:54I've always believed that Venezuelans were lucky people because from this... from this land of heroes that are the moral
36:06sustenters of this nation.
36:08Hoy, today, more than ever, we have to clench to them.
36:15It will be better times for our country, I'm sure of that.
36:21And you are... it's a guarantee of success to...
36:32205 years ago, the Liberator Army knew how to impose and also to...
36:38today is to defend all the... of the Bolivarian revolution that was led by Hugo Chavez and also by our
36:55president Nicolás Maduro and also now is led by you, active president, Delce Rodriguez.
37:00Really, it's all about... about the same revolution that 205 years SimĂłn Bolivar literated to give us all the freedom.
37:14In that hero school, we are sure that the union, that same union that was the key piece to defeat
37:28in Carabobo is and must be the cause of our...
37:33because only keeping the union, we can guarantee the peace within our existence as sons and daughters of Bolivar.
37:45In the Battle of Carabobo Battle, it was... happened...
37:52in the Battle of Carabobo Battle, the Battle of Carabobo Battle, which allowed us to have a safe access to
37:58a relatively flat ground ground to our main force, the terrible Llanera.
38:06In the Battle of Carabobo Battle, the 1st Division of General Paez, the 1st Division of General Paez could reach
38:11to the Sabana without major obstacles.
38:14In the Battle of Carabobo Battle, the Liberator of this situation, decided to launch his main force.
38:20And to launch his principal force.
38:24Not only a few, no.
38:30That's the way, led to the...
38:33Led to the...
38:39Our commander-in-chief, you can cut with the men and women of the Bolivarian army.
38:45keep signaling our way and also tell us what is the way, trust us because we will keep
38:56them to go like BolĂvar to defend our homeland and also with our flag.
39:07Our dear Bolivarian army, the misfortune that is the school of the hero will give us new
39:22actions of glory and also consistency is to be our guide. Chávez lives, the homeland continues,
39:36the homeland lives. What we must say, thank you so much.
39:48We are watching right now, these are the images of the official lights that commemorates the
39:53205 years of the Karabobo battle, a milestone. These were words of the commander of the General
40:01Army and also we are watching right now, we are watching right now images of the 205th
40:10anniversary of the Karabobo battle defending the milestone that changed the political landscape
40:16of South America forever. To understand the magnitude of the June 24th and 1821, we must
40:25look at this strategic genius of SimĂłn BolĂvar who led to this battle and secured the triumph
40:31not only for Venezuela but also for Latin America and also for Colombia. Today we are watching
40:36these images because the acting president, Alessia Rodriguez along with other top officials
40:41of the country and also let's hear the statements of acting president, Alessia Rodriguez. I want
40:48to congratulate whole Venezuela, to every Venezuelan, because today is a national party day.
41:00Special greetings to all presidents, Dr. Jorge Rodriguez, president of the National Assembly,
41:07Captain Diosdado Cabello, vice president, sectorial vice president of citizen security and peace,
41:15and also the other vice vice vice vice president. I want to congratulate for this act that commemorates
41:26and celebrates the 205 years of the battle of Karabobo and the day of the army to the Chief General
41:34General Gustavo González López, minister of the popular powers for the defense.
41:40Greetings also to Mayor General PĂ©rez de MartĂnez, commander of CEO, and with a special affection
41:51to Mayor General, Commander General of the Bolivarian Army, and also the head of our Liberator
42:10Army. My deepest affections to all of you and for all who represents every one of our functioners
42:19of the national Bolivarian forces. Our dear soldiers, all present in this emotive act that leads us
42:31to think, again, Karabobo, and also those words that our Father Liberator Simon Bolivar said. You will be in Karabobo.
42:45And those words resound in our minds. It beats in our hearts what it is to defend every hour, every
42:56day, liberty, and the independence of Venezuela.
43:01Always by hand of our Father Bolivar. That has led us to a way where the Venezuelan people not only
43:13admire his history, but also it is fond of them and also defends it. In these days where Venezuela is
43:26watched, is criticized, is attacked, is attacked.
43:32By external forces and sometimes from the interior for the ones who doesn't comprise and doesn't understand the story. To
43:45not know what is about a new Venezuela.
43:50Like the Major General Besares said. Like our Father Bolivar. The misfortune is the school of the heroes that will
44:04mark the new glories. The misfortune that we have received, the external aggressions, the pressure, the
44:17power of the heroes that we have received. Today I say that Venezuela is stronger. I feel like Venezuela has
44:27a different spirit. A spirit that leads us to fully understand the value of the peace. The value of tranquility.
44:39The value of the independence. The value of the freedom in the new spirituality.
44:45The value of the freedom in the new spirituality. The value of a society that seeks the re-encontro between
44:53Venezuelans. It's a society that seeks to also surprise the intolerance that in January 3rd became the bombs and missiles.
45:05The value of the freedom in the new spirituality. I see that new spirituality. I see that new spirituality. New
45:09ways for Venezuela. New ways for Venezuela. A way of Venezuela that keeps being the same dignity. Venezuela with dignity.
45:22Stronger. That defends what we love of Carabobo. Carabobo taught us so much lessons.
45:29The first one is the first one is the first one is the first ones. The first one is the
45:31National Union. In Carabobo participated all social groups, ethnic groups, white, afro-descendents, indigenous. In Carabobo it was National Union.
45:48And that national union taught us the virtues that when we act together, looking for an objective like delivery, like
45:59the freedom and independence, we are unbeatable, like our father, Simon Bolivar, said.
46:05The national unity is the second thought of Carabobo is the consistence.
46:20Bolivar never backed down, never renounced his dreams, and as he said, between so much reflections, also defeated the way
46:35to Carabobo, since that shout of independence on 19 April of 18,000 and 11.
46:52But we came to Carabobo stronger because of the constants, because of Bolivar, because when we have a dream, we
47:05are unbeatable, like we were in Carabobo.
47:13And also to know that Carabobo wasn't improvised, that battle was very well-thinked by Simon Bolivar.
47:27And even though we started with bad luck, we ended with a battle that not only gave the liberty to
47:37Venezuela, but also gave us a war like a political, and also was the day that was born the Patria
47:45Grande.
47:45That was the day that was born Bolivar, and we are there to liberate the other nations that for more
47:54than 300 years ago were...
48:01Carabobo is the greatest of Venezuela, Carabobo is the country, is the people that not only thinks of itself, but
48:12also thinks of humanity, that also thinks of the most important values of the humanity, and for them we cross
48:21borders.
48:22Not too hard we cross borders to liberate, and also for the independence of brothers, peoples.
48:32You know that from the Bolivar sword, you know that from the Bolivar sword, it also was the liberty of
48:38Grenadines.
48:43And this Sunday, there were elections in Colombia.
48:49We recognized the Colombian people volunteer, and we congratulate that electoral process, and we said, let's give a step forward,
49:04do not look back, because who in the past attacked Venezuela from Colombia, they met the failure.
49:15And not only the failure of the brothers, but also of the United Peoples in blood for the same sword,
49:27but also that caused suffering to the people of Colombia, economic disaster.
49:35And this for today, we congratulate the election government of Colombia, and we also give our faith in relations of
49:46respect, and also like it's corresponding in the between brother people.
49:55And also to find space for international relations with everybody, in that way, in that diplomatic way we are.
50:09And we have said since January 3rd, since that awful day of January 3rd, 2016, when Venezuela was attacked.
50:22Let's agree on our differences throughout the political dialogue, throughout cooperation with the United States.
50:33And in that way, we are now with Bolivar, because we met all thoughts of Bolivar, not only the military
50:43that left a legacy in the context of international law, in the international right, but also we met in the
50:54way of the Bolivar States.
50:57And I call every Venezuelan, and I call every Venezuelan to become in the state that was Bolivar, and also
51:06who also lived very difficult moments with decadent, with Bolivar always has the diplomacy of the international law to our
51:24home.
51:27And today, today, the day of the army, the first institution that was born in 1821, the first institution of
51:38Venezuela, the first institution of Venezuela.
51:44Let's be like Bolivar, let's be like Bolivar, and let's mark the way to respect our constitution, to respect to
51:55the future, and let's be together, defense defenders of the sovereignty and also the territorial independence of Venezuela.
52:05Today is a national party day, and I want to tell to all Bolivarian enforcers today we are stronger than
52:16ever.
52:16That's what we have accumulated.
52:18We have considered to have one objective, like the defense of Venezuela, to feel happy and also to feel proud
52:34of what it is to defend a homeland that had in this earth liberators, that left thoughts to all the
52:46humanity and the country.
52:46humanity and also for the universe, with that legacy, with that doctrine, our Bolivarian
52:54Enforces with a world, with an ethic, Bolivarian ethic, it will be always unbeatable, when
53:06the historic memory assists us, when the history is right assists us to defend a noble people
53:13like is the people of Venezuela. I want to be in a way to give strength to our armed forces
53:23and I want to announce an alliance, an union between the popular powers for the defense
53:34and the popular powers of the technology. We are in the search of the greatest technological
53:45advance. We are going with the greatest technological developments to be the principal tool of our
53:56soldiers in the defense of our sovereignty, of our independence. And I also want in the
54:07way to give well-being to the personnel of the armed forces and I give the instruction to
54:17we create a vice ministry of health, of our soldiers and of the military family. It's
54:29the respect that has our people for the armed forces and for the army. That army that you
54:38came from, where you showed the bravery of our general, of our colonels, where we watch the
54:54united people defending their liberty, defending their freedom in today's Venezuela. It is in the
55:02direction of their independence of their sovereignty. Let's take as an example the liberator army. They
55:14didn't fear anything. They went with us with the force, with the determination, with the
55:24determination to know we were assisted by the reason of men and women today. I also
55:32invite our people to continue with the way, the path of national unity, to keep in a brotherhood, in a
55:43big
55:44purpose like it is the life of our homeland, our republic, free and independent. I also ask you like
55:53Bolivar didn't rest, like he came from Boyacá to Carabobo, from Carabobo to Pichincha. People does not rest.
56:07With the happiness, like Bolivar said, in Angostura. With moral and lights, and also with the
56:18search of justice and also equity. That's the heritage of Bolivar that makes us free as homeland and also what
56:29makes us be Venezuela. The good Venezuela
56:32Venezuela dignity, Venezuela with dignity, Venezuela with moral to stand in every scenario and in front of everybody, of anybody.
56:43I said that this is what we carry, that fire in our soul and also that fire of our homeland
