CARACAS, February 7. President Hugo Chávez called
on the popular power authorities today to create militias to
defend the Venezuelan Revolution in the 184 communes that are
constituted at national level.
According to the Head of State, the residents in
those areas, made up by hundred of families with low resources,
will receive military training to resist any attack.
We won't attack anybody, but we have to get
ready to defend hand to hand, millimeter by millimeter, the
territory of this Revolution, he pointed out during his Sunday
program Aló, Presidente.
Chávez said that it is about training soldiers
for the war of the whole nation.
In his own television program, he revealed that
faced with the legislative elections next September 26, the
outlook in the lines of the opposition is fraught with internal
division.
Here there no opposition, there are some who do
not want to unite nor give it their best shot. They are divided,
some are more Fascist than others, some show more attachment to
the law, there is everything, that it is the reality, he
commented.
For Chávez, the electoral battle will be key to
the continuity of the process of change called the Bolivarian
Revolution.
To lose the National Assembly would be to leave
open the possibility of a Honduras type coup d'etat, the leader
explained, calling for unity in the forthcoming elections.
