Giant marches have characterized this first day attended by thousands of Venezuelans. As the head of the Venezuela Nuestra Campaign Command, Jorge Rodríguez, put it, the figure of 70 cities is a tribute to the 70 years of Commander Hugo Chávez.
In Caracas (capital city), the march began in Sucre Square in the town of Catia, where thousands of Venezuelans gathered to give their support to President Nicolás Maduro on the way to the Miraflores Palace.
In statements offered to the multiplatform informative teleSUR by Venezuelan citizens, they assured that they attend the march for believing “firmly in this Revolution”, with the chavista spirit of “all with Maduro”.
