“The main challenge should be for all students to obtain levels of excellence, for us to be better Venezuelans and better human beings,” he reflected.
The Bolivarian leader said that the main promoters of these actions on social platforms “are not interested in a world of peace,” but rather one of “anarchy, disasters, where we all end up hating each other and in which everyone does what they think is best.” ”.
