‘We reaffirm our absolute loyalty to President Nicolas Maduro, our Commander-in-Chief,’ FANB said.
On Thursday, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) confirmed that they will comply with the ruling issued by the Venezuelan Supreme Court of Justice, which upholds the results of the presidential elections published by the National Electoral Council (CNE).

On July 28, the electoral authority announced that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was re-elected for the 2025-2031 term. Below is the FANB statement.
“The Bolivarian National Armed Forces, always adhering to the Constitution and the laws of the Republic, fully and categorically comply with the ruling issued by the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, which upholds the legal challenge regarding the presidential elections of July 28, validating the results previously issued by the National Electoral Council.
Once again, the Venezuelan State, through its legitimate institutions, guarantees respect for the political will of the people, the preservation of peace, and the stability of the nation; which was attempted to be disrupted by far-right fascist groups that sought to carry out a coup d’Ă©tat, resorting to violence and confrontation among fellow citizens, as well as terrorist, vandalistic, and cybernetic acts, which were duly controlled by the efforts of the civil-military-police union, but unfortunately left a tragic toll of several deaths and injuries, as well as considerable material damage.
Today we can also reaffirm that Venezuela is not only strengthened in its participatory and leading democracy but also in its sovereignty and independence in the face of insolent imperial intervention.
We reaffirm our absolute loyalty to citizen Nicolas Maduro Moros, Constitutional President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, our Commander-in-Chief, re-elected by the popular power, legitimately proclaimed by the Electoral Power, and now ratified by the highest court of justice in the country, for the upcoming presidential term 2025-2031.
At the same time, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to continue defending the inalienable rights of the Venezuelan people, such as life, peace, and their integral development.
Peace is and will continue to be our greatest victory! Chavez Lives! The homeland continues! Independence and Socialist homeland! We will live and we will prevail! The Sun of Venezuela rises in the Essequibo! Independence or Nothing! Always Loyal, Never Traitors!”
