The Standing Committee on Families, Freedom of Religion and Cults of the National Assembly (AN) presented this Saturday, at the 22nd International Book Fair of Venezuela (FILVEN), the work Psychosocial Trauma and the Challenge of Healing Us.

The presentation, which took place in the main room of the National Art Gallery (GAN), was given by the deputy María Rosa Jiménez (PSUV/Nacional), who said that the text represents a commitment of experiences from last January 3, with the kidnapping of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the first lady, deputy Cilia Flores.

During the meeting, the deputy explained that the publication includes a set of collective reflections promoted, from the legislative body, by the president of the Standing Committee on Families, Freedom of Religion and Worship, deputy Jorge Arreaza (PSUV/National).

He mentioned that the text includes the participation of specialists in psychology, gestal therapy, human rights and education, who analyzed the events of January 3 and their repercussions on the Venezuelan family nucleus.

Jiménez highlighted that the work details the emotional impact generated, on the population of Greater Caracas, after the imperial invasion and the kidnapping of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the first lady, deputy Cilia Flores.

Deputy Jiménez highlighted that the purpose of the book is to honor the testimonies of those who experienced the events firsthand, and to trace a path aimed at community healing from the perspective of mutual aid.

In the same way, he added that the text states that imperial aggression directly affected the social fabric of families regardless of beliefs or cultures.

The research also indicates that these actions sought to instill fear and hopelessness to demobilize the processes of social resistance.

Finally, the assemblywoman considered that the publication incorporates graphic expressions of boys and girls, elaborated through art, to reflect the dimension of the attack suffered.

With this presentation, the Legislative Branch promotes coordination between the State, communities and universities to consolidate public policies focused on repairing psychosocial damage and building hope in the country.
