CARACAS, December 27.— Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez today confirmed that the country is achieving unprecedented results with respect to the construction of socialism and satisfying the basic needs of human beings, reported PL.

We could say that today in Venezuela, without fear of exaggeration, we are leaving behind the hell to which we have been subjected by those who misused the mandate of our people for 4o long years, stated the president in his weekly article "The Lines of Chávez."

Among the most recent results, the head of state highlighted the introduction of Mission Baby Jesus and the creation of the Bicentenario State Bank, which has taken over from private banking institutions charged with multiple violations.

"Our goal is to eradicate the use of the damaging weapons with which capitalism has inoculated us with since time immemorial and I acknowledge that that is no easy task," he affirmed.

In his final article of 2009, the statesman called on the Venezuelan people to join this crusade and prepare themselves to defend the sovereignty of the nation on all terrains.
