For a little more history on February 4, the nationally celebrated Day of Dignity in Venezuela, click on the following link to a brief document sent to us by a Venezuelan friend and translated by Sean Kriletich:

Feb 4

Also, in the video there is audio of Hugo Chavez addressing the marchers as they arrive in Parque Central, Caracas. He makes a reference to El Pacto de Punto Fijo, and how one significance of February 4 is laying that Pact of Punto Fijo to rest. The Pact was signed on October 31st, 1958. It brought an end to the dictatorship of Marcos Perez Jimenez and brought "democracy" to Venezuela. The great limiting factor of this pact was that it restricted participation in electoral politics in Venezuela to two elite parties, excluding all others. The "death" of el Pacto de Punto Fijo has allowed for Chavez's new MVR party to participate and for more participatory democratic processes to develop in Venezuela. To read up on this yourself just Google "el Pacto de Punto Fijo".
