THE GREAT MARÍA LEÓN SPEAKS TO FELLOW PATRIOTS WITH A MESSAGE FOR WASHINGTON | Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela |Axisoflogic.com

This brief video is an excerpt from a 15 minute speech by María León at the National Constituent Assembly (ANC) when they stripped Juan Guaido - known here as "Juanito 'vermin' Guaido" - of his parliamentary immunity, opening the door for his prosecution. María León is 81 years old, a member of the ANC, and a champion of Venezuelan sovereignty and independence for 60 years. She was a leader with the PCV party and a political prisoner for a period of time in the 1950's when she, with her comrades, defeated the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez on January 23, 1959. A conflict between the new government and the Left followed, "El Pacto de Punto Fijo," and she was one of the few women revolutionaries who took part in an armed guerilla offensive.

María made this speech at the ANC on January 23, celebrating the 200 year anniversary of "Vuelvan Cara," an important battle for Venezuelan independence when 150 patriots defeated 2,000 Spanish soldiers. She began this speech by talking about that battle and then compared it with the current battle against US imperialism, highlighting the courage of those patriots in history with the courage of the people today and their resistance to the US economic war against Venezuela. She ended her speech by calling for a public trial for all traitors to the homeland, asking for justice.

Throughout the failed US attempts over the last 3 months to overthrow the elected Venezuelan government and subverting the Bolivarian Constitution, we have seen President Maduro stand tall and steadfast against the US sponsored coup. We watched the Venezuelan military reject US bribes and refuse to be intimidated by the threats of invasion by the world's most powerful military, and we saw Russia and China arrive to support Venezuela. These have been key factors preventing a US sponsored coup or outright invasion. But the millions of "ordinary" Venezuelans, with the clarity and passion of the great María León, are the driving force of the Bolivarian Revolution and the ultimate response to the Washington mafia.

María León's words translated by Axis of Logic:

YOU KNOW. THE TRENCH IS IN EVERY VENEZUELAN HOME. THE BATTLE IS IN EACH FAMILY. THE FAMILY FIGHTS BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEDICINE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO WATER, BECAUSE THEY TAKE AWAY OUR LIGHT. MISERABLE!. BOLÍVAR AND CHÁVEZ GAVE LIGHT TO THE PEOPLE OF VENEZUELA! THERE IS NO BLACKOUT HERE. THEY CANNOT! THEY CANNOT!

Saben. La trinchera esta en cada hogar venezolana. La batalla la da cada familia. Cuando lucha porque le falta la medicina, porque le falta el agua porque nos quitas la luz miserable al pueblo de Venezuela lo alumbran Aqui no hay apagon. No pueden! No pueden!
