Young people and older adults joined together yesterday in an intergenerational dialogue about the future of the country.
From the Casa de los Abuelos Rosa Inés Chávez, in Caracas, they agreed that everyone in the country must unite to defend sovereignty and reject the aggressions of the United States.
The Minister of Adults and Seniors, Magaly Viña, recalled that “today more than ever” Venezuelans must be “united as a family” to know and listen to each other and demand respect for international law with the release of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, kidnapped by US troops on January 3.
He recalled that there was a time in Venezuela when grandparents had no participation in society and “were thrown in a corner,” but today “they have a say.”
He asked that intergenerational meetings like the one on the day be held permanently in each commune of the country.
Héctor Valera, who came from the Círculo de Abuelos of the El Recreo parish, called on the youth to “stay in the fight” to defend social achievements and to demand respect for the sovereignty and peace of Venezuela.
He recalled “the hardships” that older adults suffered decades ago and that today, despite sanctions and blockades, they are included with various social policies and their rights are respected.
