"I put my life and I request my life to serve Christ's people, God's people, to those who have suffered the most, the most in need, because that is our goal and that is the essence of the Socialist Revolution," underscored this Saturday (Mar. 17) the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, in his speech to a large crowd gathering in People's Balcony, in the Miraflores Presidential Palace.
The Head of State arrived on Friday night from La Havana, Cuba, where he underwent a surgery. Chavez said that he returned "with more love, an overwhelmed love," but he said that he could also feel that "people's love for themselves, for the past, present and future" has also grown.
Chavez underscored that such feeling must keep growing so as to ensure peace in the country and face destabilizing actions performed by right-wing groups.
"There are still some redoubts of hatred entrenched into some sectors of the country that are against people, some negative feelings. In some sectors of the right-wing the hatred and negative feelings prevail. We must neutralize that hatred with this love and positive spirit," Chavez said.
President Chavez said that he will continue with his physical recovery to be ready for the presidential elections next October. "We have to tune our strategy and multiple battle tactics for the battle of 2012."
He said that little more than 6 months before presidential elections are held, "great popular Bolivarian victory can be felt already."
According to a study conducted by the poll firm IVAD from March 6-13 this year, if elections were held at this moment, Hugo Chavez would obtain 56.5% of the votes versus 26.6% of opposition candidate, Henrique Capriles.
Nonetheless, Chavez recalled people that Venezuelan right-wing still has lot of economic and media power, supported by big corporations and transnational companies.
"They do not know how to play fair. They always have cards under their sleeves and they have started to play them. This will be a hard battle, but we will win it," he underscored.
President Chavez urged Venezuelan people, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and social movements composing the Grand Patriotic Pole to strengthen the internal unity so as to achieve the victory in the presidential elections.
