The Bolivarian national armed forces of Venezuela rejected Thursday the threatening remarks issued by the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, during his visit to Guyana. Padrino Lopez ends his post by sentencing that: “in the face of these neo-fascist statements, the armed forces do not and will not tolerate threats from any foreign official or government. Consequently, we will respond with strength and determination to any provocation or action that threatens the territorial integrity and the sacred interests of the country, because we are the sons and daughters of Bolivar, and we will defend our freedom, sovereignty and independence with our lives.”
