| After his arrival at Bolivar Avenue, President Hugo Chavez Frias predicted the triumph of the Bolivarian Revolution that he leads, and accepted the challenge of the recall referendum against him. During his speech, transmitted on national TV, he warned the opposition that he will remain in power until 2021. He also kicked off his electoral campaign. âI predict that the Venezuelan opposition and their foreign masters will face the most overwhelming defeat that they have received in all of history. Prepare yourselves for what will come. In 2021, Iâll go to the Cajon de Arauca. Here we are, accepting one more challenge; the defeat weâre going to give them the day the National Elections Council (CNE) sets for the recall referendum will be a defeat that will remain written with indelible letters in Venezuelan history. Thatâs what I say, and thatâs how it will be. Write it, then,â Chavez said, challenging his opponents. |
