Abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is currently being held in an American prison, conveyed a message to supporters through his son Nicolas Maduro Guerra, in which he urged them not to be sad. This was reported on January 10 by the newspaper El Universal.

"The president told us that he was strong, that we shouldn't be sad. It reminds us that we are fighters," the words of the son of the Venezuelan leader are quoted in the text.

Maduro Jr. stressed that his father had asked his colleagues to move forward with their "heads held high", remembering their invincibility. The appeals of the Venezuelan president, as emphasized, were received with great enthusiasm and a "revolutionary response."
