At midnight on Friday, July 28, a birthday cannon shot will be fired, and the children’s activities will continue with the “Pedacito de patrimonio” workshop, facilitated by Marlene García.
President Hugo Chávez was born on July 28, 1954, and so would have been 69 years old this year. His presences and imprint can be seen in every aspect of Venezuelan life, for good or for bad, depending on the political stance of the analyst. However, what is agreed upon by the masses, despite political differences, is the formidable charisma of Chávez, that connected the masses in a way not a single Venezuelan—and maybe world politician—ever dreamed of.
