During the Great March, organized one month following his popular victory in the Venezuelan presidential elections, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, urged national unity in the face of the plots by the opposition.

Receiving the demonstrators at Miraflores Palace, Maduro celebrated this Wednesday with the people of Venezuela the first month since his electoral and popular victory, despite attempts by the far right to destabilize the country.

Addressing the people, Maduro stressed that finally, the nation is at peace and on track for development, and denounced the far right's continued bets on creating chaos to destabilize the country by attacking the electrical grids in the cities.

According to his statements, the last attack occurred last Tuesday, when one of the main lines was affected, leaving almost the entire country without service.

"They tried but couldn't do it [corrupt the electrical grid] because Corpoelec detected the attack in record time and corrected it. They haven't been able to and they won't be able to. We don't expect anything but from ourselves, this country belongs to us," Maduro emphasized.

'Respect our sovereignty'

On a separate but similar note, Maduro demanded respect for Venezuela's sovereignty, on the basis of constitutional, institutional and Bolivarian morality.

"We ask the world not to meddle in our internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty and internal life of the nation," he said.

"The battle that the Bolivarian people are waging is for the truth, although they have tried to impose a narrative of hate to justify violence and intolerance," the president of the Bolivarian Republic announced.

Maduro further explained that fortunately, "truth and love triumphed," and that was demonstrated on Wednesday by the low turnout at the rally called for by the opposition leader María Corina Machado. Maduro also noted the absence of the extreme right representative Edmundo González at Machado's rally.

The president revealed that González was planning to escape after disregarding the Electoral Power and the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, having misled Venezuelans and refusing to acknowledge the election results.

During a public celebration of the July 28 victory, Maduro, holding the sword of Simón Bolívar, inaugurated the newly appointed ministers and confirmed the 19 reappointed ministers. 

Terrorism, civil unrest fell before people's choice: Venezuelan FM

Earlier on Saturday, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil Pinto stated that the United States of America is exposing its neocolonial ambitions and undermining the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people by attempting to replicate the "embarrassing Juan Guaido episode" with a second version involving Edmundo Gonzalez.

Gil Pinto further remarked that the US statements are "based on lies," which their intelligence agencies have employed for over 30 years to instigate government changes and "install puppet rulers" aligned with their interests.

He emphasized that the Venezuelan people have reaffirmed their choice of President Nicolas Maduro through a free and democratic vote, demonstrating that Venezuela remains an independent state with robust institutions—a stance that has garnered appreciation and respect from the majority of nations.

The foreign minister emphasized, "The plan of terrorism and street violence has failed, the so-called transition process has faltered, and, most importantly, the strategy of rebellion has been unsuccessful, as the democratic resolve of the Venezuelan people has triumphed."
