Hugo Chávez citations célèbres

“Ne changeons pas le climat, changeons le système et, par conséquent, nous commencerons à sauver la planète. Le capitalisme, le modèle de développement destructif est entrain d’en finir avec la vie, et menace certainement d’en finir avec l’espèce humaine.”

Hugo Chávez

“Si le climat était une banque, les pays riches l'auraient déjà sauvé.”

Hugo Chávez

“Au-delà et au-dessus de tout cela, je pense que nous avons des raisons d’être optimistes. Un poète aurait dit « désespérément optimistes », parce qu’au-dessus et au-delà des guerres et des bombes et de la guerre agressive et préventive et la destruction de peuples entiers, on peut voir qu’une nouvelle ère se dessine.”

Hugo Chávez

“Jusqu’à quand allons-nous permettre de telles injustices et inégalité? Jusqu’à quand allons-nous tolérer l’actuel ordre économique international et les mécanismes de marché en vigueur?”

Hugo Chávez

“Comme Chomsky le dit [dans son livre] de façon claire et détaillée, l’empire américain fait tout ce qu’il peut pour consolider son système de domination. Et nous ne pouvons pas lui permettre de faire cela. Nous ne pouvons autoriser que la dictature mondiale se consolide. La déclaration du dépositaire du monde — cynique, hypocrite, emplie de cette hypocrisie impérialiste provenant de leur besoin de tout contrôler.

Ils disent qu’ils veulent imposer un modèle démocratique. Mais c’est cela leur modèle démocratique ! C’est le modèle fallacieux des élites et, je dirais, une démocratie très originale qui s’impose par les armes, les bombes et l’artillerie. Quelle étrange démocratie ! Aristote pourrait bien ne pas la reconnaître — ou les autres qui sont aux racines de la démocratie. Quelle sorte de démocratie imposez-vous avec les marines et les bombes ?

Hier, le président des États-Unis nous a dit, ici-même, dans cette salle, et je cite : « Partout où vous regardez, vous entendez des extrémistes vous dire que vous pouvez échapper à la pauvreté et retrouver votre dignité par la violence, la terreur et le martyre .»”

Hugo Chávez

“Nous voulons des idées pour sauver notre planète, pour sauver la planète de la menace impérialiste. Et espérons que dans ce siècle-même, dans pas trop longtemps, nous verrons cette nouvelle ère. Et pour nos enfants et nos petits-enfants, un monde de paix basé sur les principes fondamentaux des Nations-Unies, mais de Nations-Unies rénovées. Et peut-être devrons-nous déménager leur siège. Peut-être devons nous le mettre ailleurs; peut-être dans une ville du Sud. Nous avons proposé le Venezuela.”

Hugo Chávez

“Le capitalisme est une machine infernale qui produit chaque minute une quantité impressionnante de pauvres.”

Hugo Chávez

“Nous sommes à un moment existentiel de la vie vénézuélienne. Nous avançons vers le socialisme, et rien ni personne ne pourra l'empêcher.”

You are not one who has the right to criticize anyone about the rules of the international community. You are an imperialist pawn who attempts to curry favor with Danger Bush-Hitler, the number one mass murderer and assassin there is on the planet. Go straight to hell, Mr. Blair.”

“Everyday I become more convinced, there is no doubt in my mind, as many intellectuals have said, that it is necessary to transcend capitalism. But capitalism can not be transcended through capitalism itself; it must be done through socialism, true socialism, with equality and justice. I’m also convinced that it is possible to do it under democracy, but not in the type of democracy being imposed by Washington.”

“Privatization is a neoliberal and imperialist plan. Health can’t be privatized because it is a fundamental human right, nor can education, water, electricity and other public services. They can’t be surrendered to private capital that denies the people from their rights.”

“You messed up with me, birdie. No? You don't know much about history. You don't know much about anything, you know? A great ignorance is what you've got. You are ignorant, Mr. Danger. You are an ignorant. You are a donkey, Mr. Danger … By that I mean, you know, to say it with all its letters, to Mr. George W. Bush. You are a donkey, Mr. Bush. I'm going to tell you something, Mr. Danger. You are a coward, you know? You are a coward. Why don't you go to Iraq and command your army? It's so easy to command an army from afar. If you ever come up with the crazy idea of invading Venezuela, I'll be waiting for you in this savanna, Mr. Danger. Come on here, Mr. Danger. Come on here. Come on here, Mr. Danger. Coward, assassin, genocidal… Genocidal, you are a genocidal. You are an alcoholic, a drunk.. A drunk, Mr. Danger. You are immoral, Mr. Danger… You are the worst ever, Mr. Danger … The worst of this planet, the very worst is called George W. Bush. God save the world from this menace. Because he is an assassin. A sick man, a psychologically ill man, I know it. Personally, he is a coward. But he has a lot of power. He has a lot of power. And look at what's happening in Iraq. Yesterday the world marched against the war… 70%, according to the surveys I've seen, of your own people, Mr. Danger, are against you, against the war. You are a liar, Mr. Danger. You are killing children, Mr. Danger, who aren't responsible for your illnesses, of your complexes. Your soldiers in Iraq are bombing cities. Just yesterday we were watching images of five children who were murdered by you soldiers. They're not the murderers. You are the murderer, coward!”

Remarks during a meeting with US activist Cindy Sheehan in January 2006.
2006

“In just a few days there will be another anniversary. Thirty years will have passed from this other horrendous terrorist attack on the Cuban plane, where 73 innocents died, a Cubana de Aviacion airliner. And where is the biggest terrorist of this continent who took the responsibility for blowing up the plane? He spent a few years in jail in Venezuela. Thanks to CIA and then government officials, he was allowed to escape, and he lives here in this country, protected by the government. And he was convicted. He has confessed to his crime. But the U. S. government has double standards. It protects terrorism when it wants to.”

President Hugo Chavez's Speech at the U.N. General Assembly, Wednesday, September 20, 2006

“I think there are reasons to be optimistic…because over and above the wars and the bombs and the aggressive and the preventive war and the destruction of entire peoples, one can see that a new era is dawning… the era is giving birth to a heart. There are alternative ways of thinking. There are young people who think differently. And this has already been seen within the space of a mere decade. It was shown that the end of history was a totally false assumption, and the same was shown about Pax Americana and the establishment of the capitalist neo-liberal world. It has been shown, this system, to generate mere poverty. Who believes in it now?”
