I would like to invite the citizens of Great Britain and the citizens of the U.S. and the citizens of the world to come here and walk freely through the streets of Venezuela, to talk to anyone they want, to watch television, to read the papers. We are building a true democracy, with human rights for everyone, social rights, education, health care, pensions, social security, and jobs.

I think developed countries - so-called developed countries - should reflect upon the way of living and the waste of energy.

The left is back, and it's the only path we have to get out of the spot to which the right has sunken us. Socialism builds and capitalism destroys.

The ones who close the path for peacefull revolution, at the same time open the path for violent revolution.

We must confront the privileged elite who have destroyed a large part of the world.

We want to be brothers and sisters. We want respect and equality. Simon Bolivar, our father, said a balanced world - a universe - a balanced universe in order to have peace and development.

I wish Obama would focus on governing the United States and would forget his country's imperialist pretensions.
