The Minister of Popular Power for Culture, Ernesto Villegas, took over the spaces of the San Carlos Barracks this Monday, which will be the new national headquarters of the Great Mission Viva Venezuela, My Beloved Homeland.

“We are going to green up a historic infrastructure in the San Carlos Barracks, which is going to become a cultural epicenter for this historic space in the city of Caracas,” he said, a Venezuelan Television review.

Villegas was accompanied by members of the national promotional team, who took a tour of the emblematic colonial military fortification, located in the center-north of the capital city.

“We have come here to take possession of the new national headquarters of the Great Mission Viva Venezuela, My Beloved Homeland. We are doing it in a civic-military union because a group of our Bolivarian National Militia works here, which will continue to occupy these spaces as well,” he said.

He considered important the proximity of this enclosure to the National Pantheon, which houses the mortal remains of the Liberator Simon Bolivar, as well as the cultural axis that comprises the Liberator Forum and the National Library, which will be placed according to the eight vertices of the Great Mission Viva Venezuela, because “the cultivators and cultures of Venezuela have their home”.

He reported that, regardless of the physical rehabilitations that President Nicolás Maduro Moros has ordered, along with the recovery work, an artistic, cultural and training program will begin for girls, boys, young people and the entire Venezuelan family.

“We are going to promote this place as a dynamic axis of culture in all its expressions; the San Carlos Barracks will give a lot to talk about. In the past it generated discouraging news, the horrible things that came to happen, because it was a center of oppression and torture, but now we are going to have good news about the culture that gives us cohesion and identity as a nation, completely open to the Venezuelan people,” he said.
