“We will continue to bring to the present the victorious struggles of our Liberators and Liberators, the heroic story that we are made of as a people and of which we are proud. Our Homeland is blessed in history!” , said the Venezuelan Dignitary through his account on the social network X.

Hurtado Rayugsen is a renowned professor and historian who has left his mark on important institutions such as the Simon Bolivar Study Center, the Pedagogical Institute of Caracas, and the CNH, where he has made great contributions to national memory.
