The Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Barbados participated in the national celebrations marking Emancipation Day 2026, organized by the Ministry of Pan-African Affairs and Heritage under the theme “From Emancipation to Reparations.”

Held at the Bussa Statue and the Kilombo Emancipation Village, the event honoured the memory, resistance and struggles of African and Afro-descendant peoples for freedom, justice, dignity and historical reparations.

We deeply appreciate that, during the opening libation, Liberator Simón Bolívar and Commander Hugo Chávez were remembered as important figures in the struggle for decolonization, independence and the defence of historically oppressed peoples.

We also value the remarks of Minister Trevor Prescod, who highlighted Bolívar’s historical significance and drew a meaningful connection between Barbados and Venezuela in 1816. While the Bussa Rebellion challenged slavery and colonial rule in Barbados, Venezuela was entering a decisive stage of its War of Independence. That same year, after returning from Haiti with the support of President Alexandre Pétion, Bolívar issued his proclamation in Carúpano granting freedom to enslaved persons and placing emancipation at the heart of the independence cause.

Minister Prescod also recognized Barbados’ solidarity with Venezuela through the establishment of a field hospital and the deployment of doctors, pharmacists, nurses and other health professionals.

Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to African heritage, historical memory, decolonization and stronger bonds of solidarity and cooperation with Barbados and the Caribbean.

From the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Barbados, we pay tribute to a leader who profoundly shaped Venezuela’s contemporary history by advancing a social vision centred on inclusion, justice, equality and human dignity, inspired by the Bolivarian ideals of independence and the emancipation of peoples.

Commander Hugo Chávez promoted a foreign policy founded on the construction of a multipolar world, based on respect for the sovereignty of nations, cooperation among States and balance in international relations. His vision encouraged the integration of the peoples of the Global South and strengthened South-South cooperation as an instrument for shared development, solidarity and complementarity among nations.

Following the legacy of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, Chávez reaffirmed the conviction that Latin American and Caribbean unity constitutes an essential pillar for achieving true independence, peace and international justice. His ideas revitalised the Bolivarian dream of a united region and a more equitable international order, in which peoples could fully exercise their right to self-determination.

Seventy-two years after his birth, we remember his historic legacy and his commitment to the defence of sovereignty, regional integration and the construction of a more just world.

Honour and glory to the Eternal Commander, Hugo Chávez Frías!

Earthquakes: A Chronicle of the State Response During the First 72 Hours

The Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Barbados shares this audiovisual chronicle produced by the Ministry of the People’s Power for Communication and Information, featuring previously unseen footage and documented evidence of the actions undertaken during the first 72 hours following the two major earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24.

The video highlights the immediate deployment of search and rescue teams, medical personnel, civil protection authorities and public institutions, as well as the coordinated assistance provided to the affected communities.

This material presents verifiable evidence of the Venezuelan State’s response and counters the disinformation and misleading narratives promoted by certain international media agencies and digital platforms seeking to portray Venezuela as a failed State.
