The president in charge of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, highlighted the validity of the Bolivarian ideology more than two centuries after its proclamation. On February 15, 1819, the Liberator Simón Bolívar installed the Congress of Angostura, a milestone that defined the founding bases of the nation. Rodríguez described this speech as the cornerstone that cemented the pillars of freedom and social equality for the Venezuelan people.
The president said that the Liberator “gave a legacy to the world that we must make known: the social security model, how its first expression was founded on this continent and in the world, has its deep roots in Angostura and in our father, the Liberator.”
He reflected on the need to give effect to the Congress of Angostura “and the course it set for happiness for the people, equality, social security, political stability, peace. It is the heritage and historical legacy that we have obtained from our liberating fathers.”
In his publication, Rodríguez recalled the Bolivarian maxim about the efficiency of public institutions. Bolívar established that the most perfect system of government must produce the greatest amount of happiness, social security, and political stability possible. These premises guide current management to guarantee collective well-being and institutional balance throughout the national territory.
The official assured that the Executive maintains the commitment to consolidate social and economic peace under these historical principles. The route outlined in Angostura guides efforts to forge a future of prosperity that reaches all sectors of the country. Rodríguez emphasized that national unity allows progress towards the comprehensive recovery of the Republic on this new anniversary.
