At an event held at the National Pantheon, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, paid tribute to the illustrious Venezuelan scientist Dr. Humberto Fernández-Morán, who 26 years after his planting, his scientific heritage is rising in his homeland at a crucial moment for the defense of humanist and revolutionary values.

This tribute not only commemorates the life and achievements of Dr. Fernández-Morán, but also serves as a powerful reminder of the constant struggle against the forces of hate and oppression.

“The same Nazis that we are going to defeat today in the history of humanity,” he said, evidencing the continuity of the fight against those who promote sectarianism and exclusion. This context becomes even more relevant when we remember that Dr. Fernández-Morán was persecuted by the Nazis and suffered the atrocities of a concentration camp, but he never renounced his dignity or his love for Venezuela.

A scientist who confronted exclusion

The President continued, pointing out the paradox that one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century was denigrated and excluded in his own country: “Perhaps the greatest Venezuelan scientist of the 20th century excluded only because in the administration of General Marcos Pérez Jiménez he took the lead in the development of science and technology.”

This tale of injustice resonates with the current struggle of the Venezuelan people against the forces of darkness, which seek to divide and destabilize the nation.

At the ceremony, the President also emphasized Dr. Fernández-Morán's deep commitment to his country, recalling a moving anecdote about the presentation of a Nobel Prize that he rejected simply because he didn't want to renounce his Venezuelan nationality.

“Never in my life will I give up being Venezuelan,” were his words. This steadfastness in identity and national pride becomes a beacon of hope for new generations facing similar challenges.
