In order to promote reading among the
population, the Bolivarian Government, through the Ministry for Culture and
its various affiliated entities, continues to deliver books from the “25
for 25” collection and this weekend a day was held in the Plaza de la
Juventud in the city of Caracas to purchase them.
The delivery of books was attended by the
president of the National Book Center (CENAL), Raúl Cazal,
who stressed that the distribution of copies of the “25 for 25” collection
is carried out within the framework of the Program for Democratic Coexistence and Peace.
In addition, he indicated that this activity is carried out
in solidarity with the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro and the first lady, Cilia
Flores, the main promoters of reading in the country.
“This is united in solidarity with two
people who are so committed to reading, two people who are part
of this Young Venezuela Mission and also of '25 to 25', because Nicolás
Maduro was the one who promoted it from the beginning, in the company of the
Mexican Government, so that we have books for our young people,” he said.
He stressed the importance of promoting the
habit of reading in young people as an alternative to cognitive warfare and
disinformation on digital platforms. “Books are for our
youth to get away for a moment from those digital elements that exude hate
. With these books, with our Latin American literature, what
transpires is a lot of light, imagination, love, happiness and pleasure from reading,
” he said.
Cazal stressed that the works in the
“25 for 25” collection, published by the Fund for Economic Culture (FCE) of Mexico,
for young people aged 15 to 30, portray the historical and cultural identity of Latin America with authors of the
Latin American Boom.
The free distribution of these books in Venezuela is the product of an agreement signed in 2025 between the FCE and MPPC, represented by CENAL and Monte Ávila Editores Latinoamericana.
