On Thursday, December 29, the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, handed over the house number 4.4 million of the Venezuela Great Housing Mission (GMVV) in the Antonio Ricaurte residential complex in Aragua state.
“Venezuela is the only place in the world where on December 29 a president is handing over house number 4.4 million, and this is a miracle of the Bolivarian Revolution,” he said.
The ceremony took place in Aragua state, which was heavily affected by torrential rains in October that caused the tragedies of Las Tejerías and Maracay (El Castaño).
