It is disgusting, to say the least, the general ignorance of the regime's representatives of the symbols of our nationality and our own tradition in the Catholic faith as to why the final battle of the War for our Independence was fought in Carabobo 200 years ago today. And it is offensive the lack of respect and ignorance that is intended to be transferred to Venezuelans when a Minister of Defense of a usurped Presidency addresses the people of Venezuela in the following terms:
"Caracas, June 22nd, 2021
Dear people of Venezuela
Dear compatriots and comrades:
As Minister of Defense of the sovereign and free Bolivarian Venezuela, I send you revolutionary greetings on the auspicious days in which we will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo and the commemoration of our God Ogum, lord of war and conquest. A propitious date to attend the magnanimous field of Carabobo and support the parade of our brave military and the speech of the citizen president of the Republic, the worker commander Nicolás Maduro Moros. I remind you to attend dressed in gray as prescribed by our Yoruba religion, and you may do so in the company of your family members to enjoy this commemoration in these times of progress, development and freedom as initiated by our commander guide and philosopher Hugo Chavez Frias.
Given in Caracas on the 22nd anniversary of the revolution, the 209th anniversary of independence from the Spanish yoke and the 160th anniversary of the federation.
VLADIMIR PADRINO LÓPEZ
Min.Popop Defense.-".
(Letter from Vladimir Padrino López to Venezuelans. Text extracted from a twitter message published by Father José Palmar, in https://twitter.com/PadreJosePalmar/status/1407730612090327048) (highlighted our).
The Minister of Defense of the usurper Nicolás Maduro Moros is unaware that the Act of the Declaration of the Independence of Venezuela, the main reason why we entered into a war with the empire of Spain, due to the denial of its authority over our territories, is headed by the following text: "In the name of Almighty God, we, the representatives of the United Provinces of Caracas, Cumana, Barinas, Margarita, Barcelona, Merida and Trujillo, which form the American Confederation of Venezuela in the southern continent, assembled in Congress, and considering the full and absolute possession of our rights, which we justly and legitimately recovered since April 19, 1810, in consequence of the day of Bayonne and the occupation of the Spanish throne by the conquest and succession of another new dynasty constituted without our consent, we wish, before using the rights of which we were deprived by force, for more than three centuries, and which the political order of human events has restored to us, to patent to the universe the reasons which have emanated from these same events and authorize the free use we are going to make of our sovereignty. " (see in Spanish Acta de Declaración de Independencia aprobada en Julio de 1811, in https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acta_de_la_Declaraci%C3%B3n_de_Independencia_de_Venezuela).
That is, the representatives of the United Provinces of Caracas, Cumaná, Barinas, Margarita, Barcelona, Mérida and Trujillo, SWORE TO BE INDEPENDENT IN THE NAME OF GOD ALMIGHTY! Where in that fundamental text of our nationality is the "God Ogum" or the "Yoruba religion" that Mr. Padrino López professes, and that gave origin to a war for the Independence of Venezuela that ended in Carabobo Field 200 years ago today? To that point does the guilty ignorance of a military of the Republic reach? With all the respect that anyone deserves to profess the religion he/she pleases, the Yoruba religion is NOT ANY PART OF OUR REPUBLICAN TRADITION. And as Father Palmar rightly says in his Twitter message, after receiving communion from the hands of the Apostolic Nuncio at the Beatification Mass of José Gregorio Hernández, according to the Catholic faith followed by the majority of the Venezuelan people, Mr. Padrino López is a sacrilegious.
But beyond highlighting this twisted deviation of the usurpers to crush a religion that is not ours and try to introduce it in the commemorative acts of the Bicentennial of the Battle of Carabobo, I wish to emphasize that the war that sealed the independence of Venezuela in Carabobo on June 24, 1821, was for the defense with arms of some precepts contained in a Constitution promulgated in 1811 and that began precisely with that Act that declared our independence.
That is, the Provinces united in a single and indivisible country called Venezuela, and gave themselves independence, and of course they had no choice but to fight and die for it, first of all because the Spaniards did not accept willingly that we would take over what they considered their property. That war ended with the lives of half the population of that time. The weapons of the Republic that the liberators took possession of were used to defend that concept that seems to have been forgotten in Venezuela today: FREEDOM.
When today the Church of the same Almighty God that our Founding Fathers invoked tells us on the occasion of the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo that: "The legacy that Carabobo leaves us forces us to think of an unrenounceable task at this time. It was the point of arrival of a process and the beginning of a whole project for the construction of the country. The dark clouds that loom over the country and the consequences of bad political practices of the last few years raise the urgent need to "REFOUND THE NATION". Based on the principles that constitute the nationality, inspired by the testimony of so many men and women who made Independence possible, the task that concerns us today and facing the future is to remake Venezuela, but without looking back with nostalgia. The inheritance received allows us to move forward and build the Venezuela that the vast majority longs for and feels as a task: where justice, equity, fraternity, solidarity, unity and peace prevail". (see in Spanish, Mensaje de la Presidencia de la Conferencia Episcopal Venezolana, CEV, Al Pueblo de Venezuela con ocasión del Bicentenario de la Batalla de Carabobo, 23 de Junio de 2021, No. 10, in https://conferenciaepiscopalvenezolana.com/presidencia-de-la-conferencia-episcopal-venezolana-comparte-mensaje-con-ocasion-del-bicentenario-de-la-batalla-de-carabobo) (resaltado nuestro), is because what the liberators did cannot be thrown into the garbage of ignorance and forgetfulness of those who have the obligation to remember it. But there are those of us who do not forget. The blood spilled in Carabobo and in all that war that cost the lives of half of the Venezuelans was because the ideology of freedom of a Federal Republic, promoted by 7 independent provinces, was sustained with blood.
This has been dismantled piece by piece by a tyranny that betrayed the values, not only historical but also religious and spiritual of the Nation, which gave rise to the war fought in that final battle in Carabobo 200 years ago, and the previous battles fought for the independence of Venezuela. Hence, the Presidency of the CEV speaks of REFOUNDING THE NATION, and this cannot be done if all Venezuelans do not convene around that principled idea that inspired the Congress of 1811: the Convocation of the Original Constituent Assembly for an in-depth discussion of the problems faced by Venezuelans. If this is not understood by those who claim to seek electoral solutions, they will never understand it, unfortunately leading Venezuelans to fight another fratricidal war sooner rather than later. But fortunately, we will win that one as in the past, with the help of reason and Almighty God...
