Hugo Chávez, an undefeated legacy

Eight years have passed since that March 5, 2013, when at 4:25 in the afternoon President Hugo Chávez transcended to a spiritual plane. Since that day, the legacy of a man was born who vibrated in each of the corners of the national territory and the world, whose mission would be to change the destiny of this country, promoting the changes necessary for the well-being of the people. His thought and work is a legacy that remains undefeated.

The Eternal Commander, as the people called him from his physical departure, was a man who transformed his visionary thoughts into works, and achieved a worldwide projection with his charisma, knowledge, and high degree of social conscience; He showed that the love of the people is the greatest force he had, since despite the adversities that were presented to him, the people could not be disappointed, and therefore he fought tirelessly to fulfill that dream of freedom.

Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías was born in Sabaneta de Barinas, Barinas state, on July 28, 1954. He is the second of the six children of the household formed by Hugo de los Reyes Chávez and Elena Frías, both primary school teachers. He grew up in a humble environment in a small town in the Venezuelan plain, so at a young age his parents took him with his paternal grandmother Rosa Inés Chávez, to take care of his upbringing.

He was a military man and political leader who joined the Bolivarian Army of the Bolivarian National Armed Force (Fanb) in 1971, while there he developed an interest in politics, sowing a revolution in Venezuela firmly inspired by some historical figures such as Father of the homeland Simón Bolívar, Simón Rodríguez and Ezequiel Zamora, heroes who motivated him to create the Bolivarian ideal so that 200 later the Bolivarian and socialist homeland will be consolidated.

Hugo Chávez assumed power on February 2, 1999 and was sworn in on the 1961 Constitution. After the act in the Federal Capitol, the seat of the Congress of the Republic, he went to the Miraflores Palace accompanied by a group of supporters.

During his tenure in the Presidency of Venezuela, he fought for inclusion and equal conditions, as well as for the liberation of Latin America.

Beyond his political life, the infinite love for the people led him to create social mechanisms that vindicated the most vulnerable sectors that were always visible by the governments of the fourth republic, for this reason the Missions and Great Missions were the way to give back. the love that the people felt for their president. Missions that became the great engine of the Bolivarian Revolution.

Since the arrival of Commander Hugo Chávez to power in Venezuela, the path that points to social equality, inclusion and the claim of fundamental rights has been opened, this being a strength that the South American country exhibits as a flag of victory in the world.

Despite the application of coercive measures, the Venezuelan Government has continued with a profound social agenda initiated by Commander Chávez to favor the majority of the Venezuelan people.

The continuity of missions such as Gran Misión Vivienda Venezuela, Barrio Adentro, the delivery of food through the Local Supply and Production Committee (CLAP), among other social actions, respond to the deep social policy maintained in the more than 20 years of the Revolution. Bolivarian.

Educational missions such as Robinson (literacy and primary school), Ribas (high school) and Sucre (university) constituted Hugo Chávez's great dream.

Access to technology

In 2004, Chávez decreed the use of free software and GNU / Linux operating systems in the public administration and later promulgated the law that stipulated the migration of free software systems.

Starting in 2009, the Canaima educational project revolutionized pedagogical practices in public schools in the South American country. The objective of this project was to democratize access to new technologies and make them available to everyone for free.

Within the telecommunications area there were also great advances. In October 2008, the Government launched the Simón Bolívar satellite, which performs functions in terms of telephony, information transmission, access and transmission of messages over the Internet, especially in excluded places with low population density. 

In September 2012, the launch of the first remote observation satellite in Venezuela, Francisco de Miranda, was carried out in order to promote research, study, monitoring and planning of the territory, as well as support for plans regarding the prevention of disasters.

On October 9, 2017, Venezuela launched the Sucre satellite that was conceived as a replacement for the Miranda satellite, which in 2017 culminates its design useful life, however its use time may be extended for a year or more according to preliminary estimates. .

Peace diplomacy

Peace diplomacy characterized Hugo Chávez, strengthening Venezuela's relations with the world.

Commander Hugo Chávez proposed in 2001 the creation of an organization for cooperation, complementarity and solidarity called ALBA, together with the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.

This instance promotes the development of all nations under the principle of regional complementarity and cooperation through mutual respect and solidarity.

As an initiative of the Government of Hugo Chávez, the Petrocaribe alliance emerged in June 2005. The agreement allows Caribbean nations to buy up to 185 thousand barrels of oil per day under advantageous conditions.

“We are here, in the youngest country in the Caribbean, integrating, uniting, this is a group of islands, of countries that became independent from empires (…) We are on the so-called imperial frontier of the greater Caribbean and Venezuela has a very important role We have to play in the union and liberation of the Caribbean, because we are not yet free or completely independent. Only united we will be independent, "he said from Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Commander Chávez assured in 2011 that "Unasur will guarantee the permanence of our nascent republics."

This space, conceived four years earlier, has as its main objective the integration in the cultural, social, economic and political of the nations, with priority in the fundamental needs of the peoples and with the objective of eliminating inequality and strengthening the sovereignty of the nations. countries respecting its principles and independence.

"Unasur is the greatest guarantee that providence and ourselves can give us to guarantee the continuity of our nascent republics, of South American independence," said Hugo Chávez.

The Union of South American Nations (Unasur) was created on May 23, 2008 when the Constitutive Treaty was approved in which Quito, the capital of Ecuador, and Cochabamba, Bolivia, was designated as the permanent headquarters of the General Secretariat.
