WORLD SOCIAL FORUM 2006
HUGO RAFAEL CHÁVEZ FRÍAS

CONSTITUTIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE
BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA

ACT FOR THE PEOPLE’S ANTI-IMPERIALIST STRUGGLE
VI WORLD SOCIAL FORUM

POLIEDRO, CARACAS
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 2006


President of the Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez: Every time that I come to a very special event like this one, special because, first of all, these are events are overflowing with passion; I always come with the desire, the intention and commitment to reflect on issues and ideas. And there lies the perpetual dilemma— passion vs. reason— but both are necessary. I never know where to begin speaking in events as beautiful as this; I always cover the ideas that flow from the grand emotion, like that which I feel tonight in this gathering of the World Social Forum and in this anti imperialist event. I will begin.


Good evening to all. I greet and welcome you...
