In the National Pantheon and Mausoleum of the Liberator Simon Bolivar in Caracas, commemorative events were held for the 215 years of the Declaration of Independence.
Authorities of the Bolivarian Government raised the national flag, while listening to the notes of the hymn Gloria al Bravo Pueblo.
The solemn event was led by the Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Trade, Coromoto Godoy; the ministers of Popular Power for the Social Labor Process, Eduardo Piñate; for Culture, Ernesto Villegas; and for the Penitentiary Service, Julio Zerpa, together with the Comptroller General of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), José Serrano Gotera.
Those present signed the act issued by the Ministry of People's Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace (MPPRIJP), which recorded the holding of the event in honor of such an important date in the history of Venezuela as a free and independent nation.
On April 19, 1810, the then Captain General of Venezuela, Vicente Emparan, was taken to the council to ask the Venezuelan people about the rule of the Spanish crown in Venezuelan lands. Upon receiving a negative response from Venezuelans who demanded freedom, he said that he did not want command either, which led to the beginning of sovereignty, which was consolidated some time later with the signing of the Act of Independence on July 5, 1811 and the Battle of Carabobo on June 24, 18 21.
