I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet.

Some people point to me as the cause of all society's problems, others as if I am the benefactor, responsible for everything good, but I am neither the former nor the latter. I am but a man in particular circumstances, and the most beautiful part is that an individual human life is capable of contributing to the growth, the awakening of the collective strength. That is what matters!

Venezuela is a free country, and we will not be blackmailed by anyone. We will not accept being told what to do over Iran; we will not accept being anyone's colony.

I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.

Most governments in the United States in a hundred years have not respected the peoples of Latin America. They have sponsored coup d'etats, assassinations.

I'm a Christian. I want the world of justice and equality. This is the only way to achieve peace.

The grand destroyer of the world, and the greatest threat... is represented by U.S. imperialism.
