The eleventh anniversary of the physical departure to immortality of Commander Hugo Chávez (1954-2013) will be remembered today in Venezuela with various political and cultural activities and mobilizations.
he commemoration will be centered at the mausoleum where his remains rest at the Cuartel de la Montaña, where from early hours the people and the youth of the United Socialist Party (PSUV) will pay eternal tribute to their imperishable guide.
Ana Cabezas, Director of the Eternal Commander Hugo Chavez Foundation, declared the day before to Venezolana de Televisión that as every March 5th, the people will go to this sacred place of the homeland to «pay homage» to the Bolivarian leader.
He explained that the program includes tours to the exhibition halls and the public will be able to appreciate the photographic exhibit called «Hope is in the streets», the motto of the commemoration.
The young Venezuelan pointed out that the day will last until March 26, which marks three decades since the release of the so-called Eternal Commander from the Yare prison and the beginning of a nationwide tour to expand the Bolivarian Revolutionary Movement 200.
Cabezas expressed that children will also have their space with playful activities with the aim of bringing them closer not only to the Commander, but also to preserve his values and way of acting.
He pointed out that these spaces, in addition to having fun, we try to make the children feel safe, have fun and leave with a lesson learned because they learn about the history of Venezuela through the Commander, the Liberator Simón Bolívar and the people.
At 4:30 p.m. local time, the salute of honor that every day shakes all of Caracas will be heard, he said.
Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, stated yesterday in his X account that Chavez «is still with us», in every struggle, in every action and in the heart of each one of us, those who love this land.
«Long live Chávez forever!», he emphasized.
In a meeting the day before with the political high command, Maduro highlighted that the Bolivarian leader went undefeated to his immortality.
He highlighted that the Revolution has five generations «united and integrated» as a result of the work, spirit, methods and «magnificent personality of our Commander Chávez».
The PSUV will also carry out this Tuesday a great mobilization called «red carnations» which will depart from different points of Greater Caracas and will converge at the Cuartel de la Montaña, in the parish of 23 de Enero.
