The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, commemorated on Thursday Writer’s Day, by acknowledging the work of women and men who exercise the trade of letters as did the teacher Andrés Bello:
“We celebrate the National Day of the Writer, acknowledging the work done by men and women of letters, in defense of the word as a fighting trench, for the formation of ideas that point to the construction of the new collective consciousness. Congratulations!” wrote the Head of State on the Twitter social network.
On Writer’s Day is commemorated the birth of writer, historian, jurist, philosopher, diplomat, educator, philologist and grammarian Andrés Bello, and the preservation of the Castilian language as a providential means of communication that, among the American peoples, was one of the fundamental concerns of Bello, who feared that the confusion of languages, dialects, gibberish and the Babylonian chaos of the Middle Ages would be reproduced.
