Writers, artists, religious and stars of Cuban sports expressed today their support to the transformation process in Venezuela and predicted victory for the socialist candidate Nicolas Maduro to next Sunday's presidential elections.
During a conference to remember moments of the 10th International Meeting of Intellectuals and social activists in defense of humanity, held in Caracas last March, poet Alex Pausides defined as significant toward the April 14 polls.
That day, he said, Venezuela will give Latin America and the world a signal that the Revolution is possible and victorious.
Reverend Raul Suarez, director of the Memorial Center Martin Luther King Jr., affirmed those elections have to be won by the people of the South American nation, and this and Maduro, Acting President of Venezuela, should receive all the solidarity from Cubans.
I have seen the commitment of Maduro with his people and with the leader of the Bolivarian revolution, Hugo Chavez, deceased last March 5, asserted Suarez, who highlighted the Christian, socialist, anticapitalist and Latin Americanist sense of that country's social project.
Speaking of his participation in the Caracas meeting, journalist Katiuska Blanco stressed the values found in the government plan of Chavez that leads the way to a Humane, dignified and generous civilization.
Maduro has on his shoulders the Chavez legacy and has given proof it was not a crazy idea of the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution to name him a follower of that nation's project, said Blanco.
At this Friday's meeting, at the Alba House of Culture, were also present the Caracas ambassador, Edgardo Ramirez and the Cuban ex-athletes Javier Sotomayor, Ana Fidelia Quirot and Alberto Juantorena, who said Chavez was the soul of Cuban-Venezuelan cooperation in that area.
