I want to take this opportunity to greet
the Canadian people, the worthy people of
Canada, who are friends to the people of
Venezuela. We believe that solidarity among
peoples is a fundamental factor of union,
kinship, and cooperation and we want and
value the effort that many Canadians make to
bring the truth of Venezuela to their country.
We know that the people of Canada are a
friendly people, respectful of international
law and that they know that what is
happening in Venezuela is a ratification of
democracy and that Venezuela is neither
a threat nor an enemy of democracy in the
world. We want the people, the men and
women of Canada, to know that Venezuela
is only asking for respect of their sovereignty
and their democracy.
Please receive our affection, our love
and the assurance that in the people
and government of Venezuela you have
friends, partners in democracy, in freedom,
and in justice for all. Thank you very
much for being here in our homeland.
Quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para
saludar al pueblo canadiense, al digno
pueblo de Canadá, que es un pueblo amigo
de Venezuela. Creamos que la solidaridad
entre los pueblos es un factor fundamental
de unión, de hermandad, y de cooperación y
queremos y valoramos el esfuerzo que muchas
canadienses hacen por llevar la verdad de
Venezuela a su país. Sabemos que el pueblo
de Canadá es un pueblo amigo, respetuoso
de la ley internacional y que saben que lo
que estás sucediendo en Venezuela es una
ratificación de la democracia y que Venezuela
no es una amenaza ni un país enemigo de la
democracia en el mundo. Queremos que el
pueblo, los hombres y mujeres de Canadá
sepan que Venezuela lo único que piden es
respecto de su soberanía, y respecto de su
democracia.
Se reciben ustedes nuestro cariño, nuestro
amor y la seguridad de que en el pueblo y el
gobierno de Venezuela tienen amigos, tienen
compañeros en la democracia, en la libertad,
y en la justica para todos y todas. Muchas
gracias por estar aquí en nuestra patria.
