Known as the “Day of Dignity” or the abbreviation “4F”, the failed revolt catapulted Hugo Chavez and his clandestine Bolivarian movement into the national limelight, setting the ex-coronel on course to become Venezuela’s first elected Afro-indigenous president.
The day is commonly regarded as the birth of country’s Bolivarian Revolution and has come to symbolize national resistance to US imperialism and its support for Venezuela’s pacted representative democracy, known as the Fourth Republic, which was widely accused of human rights violations and rampant corruption.
