18 years since Chávez's emblematic speech at the UN: The devil was here! It still smells like sulfur!

On September 20, 2006, Commander Hugo Chávez, during the 61st Assembly of the United Nations (UN) held in New York City, showed his anti-imperialist character by stating: “Yesterday the Devil came here, yesterday the Devil was here, in this very place. This table where I had to speak still smells of sulfur.”

In this emblematic speech, Commander Chávez denounced the terrorist policy of George W. Bush at that time President of the United States.

“Yesterday ladies, gentlemen, from this very rostrum the President of the United States, whom I call “The Devil”, came here speaking as master of the world...”, said Chávez.

In a historic and courageous way, the Commander denounced the hegemony of the United States against America and the world, a warrior country that has filled many countries with misery.

“A psychiatrist would not hurt to analyze yesterday's speech by the President of the United States. As a spokesperson for Imperialism, he came to give his prescriptions to try to maintain the current scheme of domination, exploitation and plunder of the peoples of the world. For an Alfred Hitchcock film it would be good, even I would propose a title: 'The Devil's Recipe',” he said.

18 years after this historic discourse, it is still in force and encourages us to continue to denounce crimes against humanity promoted by the United States.
