Caracas, 04 Feb. AVN.- Among the crowd, surrounded by adult men, marched Fernando Soto Rojas, deputy and former chairman of the National Assembly; to everyone who came close, he warned: "Today, for the first time, guerrillas of the sixties and seventies can march."

"We rebelled 40 years ago, when we saw that the Punto Fijo pact was politically not feasible, that it was heading toward disaster," he said while he continued walking, fast, behind a red wave that attended the events to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the civil military uprising on February 4th, 1992.

The former guerrilla listed, doubtlessly, the failures which characterized the era known as puntofijismo, when the country's three largest parties agree to a power-sharing system, excluding rivals from the left wing: "the crime of corruption, the crime of putting the country's sovereignty in pawn and the crime of repression, massacre, dead and disappeared people."

Subsequently, he looked back quickly at his movements on February 1992. "The day 2, I had an urgent meeting with Douglas Bravo and Gabriel Puerta; I jumped to (central city of) Valencia, I went to (western city of) Barquisimeto; I raised the alarm."

"When I was arriving here, in Caracas, tanks were already in their way," he reminded smiling. He slowed down his pace, looked at some grandmothers marching with their walking sticks and whispered: "It is people's spirit."
