On Tuesday, June 23, the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, attended the inauguration of monuments built and restored as part of the Bicentenary of the Battle of Carabobo and the Bolivarian Army Day. ”Two hundred years later and here we are a united and victorious people, standing tall, and proud of our history,” said President Maduro from Campo de Carabobo near Valencia, Carabobo state.
