Maduro, who was sworn in for a third illegitimately obtained presidential term on January 10, issued the threats in a speech on state media channel VTV commemorating the 67th anniversary of the end of the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez in 1958.
“We are not playing games. We are preparing, permanently, for the armed struggle in defense of democracy, peace, institutionality, stability and the right to the future of Venezuela,” Maduro told sympathizers at a regime rally in Caracas.
“They have pretended to threaten us, and I tell you from this balcony of the people, this is [Hugo] Chávez’s balcony and if Maduro is here, Chávez is here with Maduro and with the people,” Maduro asserted.
The socialist dictator’s threats came as the Venezuelan armed forces finished a series of military exercises titled “Bolivarian Shield 2025,” which ran from January 22 to 23 “to keep the Republic’s muscle trained, ready to defend against external threats, internal threats.” Maduro ordered the military exercises to coincide with the start of President Donald Trump’s new administration this week.
