The Head of State
of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and the president of the National
Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, recounted their experiences
during the raids on the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) in the governments of the
Fourth Republic.
During his
participation as a special guest in episode number 6 of the Maduro Podcast,
Rodríguez told about his childhood homes in Caracas, as well as the
places where he studied, especially the kindergarten at the UCV, where “once there was a Food Day
event and I was disguised as beetroot in a
purple jumpsuit and they raided, the Metropolitan Police broke in and we ran away and like me
I was wearing the monkey and I was shot down that mountain,” she said.
In this regard,
President Maduro recalled that he grew up in front of the San Pedro church, near the
University. My whole childhood was lead, lead and lead, tear gas that
came into my house, my mom did everything, she hid us. The bathroom in the house
was full of bullets everywhere. The UCV raids were
impressive, that's not known because nobody talks about it and it's not in the history books
,” he criticized.
“Surely in one of
those raids when you were a child, you were studying at the UCV, I was at
home protecting myself from tear gas surely, it was a very common thing... They broke into the house and
they raided your school too,” recalled the Dignitary in conversation with the deputy.
