<div class="text-justify">Today we commemorate the 243 anniversary of the birth of the independence hero José Félix Ribas, and in Venezuela there is a totalitarian government. We live imprisoned for political reasons, our children who die of hunger, the law is sold by judges who sell justice, military security that defalc the public treasury, and the media are closed, like other threatened.</div><p>

<div class="text-justify">Today is the day where democracy will be discussed, and in the country there are no elections with given conditions, our constitution has been assassinated. We are in a nation where more than thousands of elderly people die due to public neglect, where the sick die because they do not have medicines. The prisoners are beheaded, as the innocent are sentenced, and no one can claim.</div><p>

<div class="text-justify">Today they will talk about "Democracy?" If the protesting opposition is persecuted, as the neighbor who plays the pan in the neighborhood is intimidated by delinquent collectives that work with state security organs and together make up the political police of the government.</div><p>

<div class="text-justify">Today is the day to remember the slogan "Necessary is to win!", And millions have left the country, in a massive and unprecedented exodus in our Venezuelan history. Thousands of girls who do not reach the stage of adolescence or youth are prostituting themselves for a bread flour, and children of eight years lead criminal bands. The school and the university are breathing with artificial oxygen.</div><p>

<div class="text-justify">Today is the day where they will talk about "José Félix Ribas multiplied in the streets", and the opposition parties have been imploded, the unions have subjugated, and the social right has been legalized. The governors boast about their obesity, the ministers dress up in thousands of dollars and the one who is a constituent looks from his latest model truck to starved poverty trampled on the goat route. Today is the day of a hero of independence and the division of powers passed into oblivion, and in the present the misery eats of garbage.</div><p>

<div class="text-justify">The press knows that the good news is that they are not the majority. Totalitarians and despots are always the minority.</div><p>

<div class="text-justify">In the soul of every Venezuelan is surviving the democratic skills, the moral reserve necessary to remake the way of this nation. When that spirit flows, I will celebrate democracy in Venezuela.</div><p>
