The Venezuelan government promoted, on Monday (2), 16,900 soldiers, in recognition of their "loyalty", an aspect that has become recurrent in the speech of President Nicols Maduro amid conspiracy charges.
"We evaluate the loyalty that every man and woman has placed in their hands, in their thoughts, in their actions, in all the tasks they have accomplished," said the Minister of Defense, the General Vladimir Padrino.
At a promotional ceremony for officers and military personnel, Padrino stated that it was a rigorous and fair process that measured the degree of commitment of all armed forces towards the "Bolivarian Revolution".
"We evaluated the loyalty of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) to these officers who are now receiving their new patents throughout the country," he said.
