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.

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

What you want is one thing, and what you cannot really obtain is another.

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.

Convinced as I am and as I am from my government that the world needs a new moral architecture over all I believe that this should be the first topic to debate in our world of today, ethics, moral.

The only way to save the world is through socialism, but a socialism that exists within a democracy; there's no dictatorship here.

Venezuela has changed forever, there is no turning back.
