Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro led a Christmas dinner for peace and happiness on Tuesday, December 23, at the San Agustín parish in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital. During the gathering, the president emphasized Venezuela’s strength in the face of US pressure, asserting that imperialism cannot overcome the country’s determination.
“We are in Marín Square in San Agustín del Sur, the epicenter where the Marín rhythm, the music, and the culture of our nation were born,” Maduro stated. “We have come to share the first Hallacazo (a traditional Venezuelan Christmas celebration) with the community and wish them a Merry Christmas, exercising the most beautiful right our people have: the right to happiness, to live in peace, and to enjoy this time of unity,” he added.

In a day marked by popular joy, the Head of State joined the community to enjoy the traditional rhythms of “Son Mondongo” and “100% San Agustín,” emphasizing that these festivities are the result of the victory of national unity.
In his remarks, Maduro defined himself as a man of the people, educated in the schools of the barrios, asserting that it is precisely this organic connection with the people that makes the Bolivarian Revolution invincible against the aggressions of Washington.
The day also served to highlight the success of the “El Guaguancó de Colores” program, which has transformed San Agustín del Sur into a tourist destination with more than 4,000 visitors. This cultural development complements the agenda of the communes, which, according to the Executive, will be the setting for numerous Christmas gatherings throughout the country.
In another part of Caracas, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez joined another celebration, rejecting the United States’ maximum pressure policy and emphasizing that Venezuela will respond with greater family unity and productive work to guarantee social happiness at the end of the year.
Christmas 2025 in Venezuela unfolds under the resistance and safeguarding of sovereignty. In this context, President Maduro has reaffirmed that the festive spirit of the people will remain intact, projecting a prosperous 2026 for all households in the country despite the current political challenges.
“We cannot fail them, we can never fail them. It is not the first time we have experienced a Christmas where we must share the struggle in the streets, the struggle in defense of our rights, the struggle in defense of democracy and peace, and the revelry on every corner. Between revelry and revelry, between battle and victory, we will continue this Christmas, which no one will tarnish for the people of Venezuela,” the president stated on December 21st.
