Hugo Chavez Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Hugo Chavez:

We must confront the privileged elite who have destroyed a large part of the world.

I am a President held prisoner, that I haven't resigned and I will not resign.

Hugo Chavez

There's been an open attack by the U.S. government, an immoral attack, to try and prevent Venezuela from being freely elected to a post in the Security Council. The imperium is afraid of truth, is afraid of independent voices. It calls us extremists, but they are the extremists.

Hugo Chavez

The left is back, and it's the only path we have to get out of the spot to which the right has sunken us. Socialism builds and capitalism destroys.

Venezuela has changed forever.

Hugo Chavez

No part of the human community can live entirely on its own planet, with its own laws of motion and cut off from the rest of humanity.

Hugo Chavez

I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet.

Hugo Chavez

In the United States, the government is bailing out banks, intervening in the economy, yet in Latin America, the Right continues to talk about 'free markets.' It's totally outdated; they don't have arguments; they don't have any sense.

Hugo Chavez

There is no doubt whatsoever that the U.S. government, lead by Mr. Bush, planned and participated in a coup d'etat in Venezuela in April, 2002.

Long live the Unity of Latin America.

The only way to save the world is through socialism, but a socialism that exists within a democracy; there's no dictatorship here.

Raul Reyes was a good revolutionary. I knew him personally.

I remember. How many minutes do I have left President? About one, one minute.

Fidel is a Marxist-Leninist. I am not. Fidel is an atheist. I am not. One day, we discussed God and Christ. I told Castro, I am a Christian. I believe in the Social Gospels of Christ. He doesn't. Just doesn't. More than once, Castro told me that Venezuela is not Cuba, and we are not in the 1960s.

I became a soldier, not because I had a military vocation initially, but because it was the only way that that young, poor-class child from the provinces could go to the center of the country: through baseball, which was my dream.

Hugo Chavez

Our voice is an independent voice to represent the dignity and the search for peace and the reformulation of the international system; to denounce persecution and aggression of hegemonistic forces on the planet. This is how Venezuela has presented itself. Bolivar's home has sought a nonpermanent seat on the Security Council.

Hugo Chavez

I shook Obama's hand and I said, 'I want to be your friend.' My hand is still outstretched. I am not Obama's enemy, but it's difficult not see imperialism in Washington. Those who don't see it don't want to see it, like the ostrich.

Terrorists bombard complete cities, such as Fallujah, Baghdad, innocent women and children.
