The Head of State through his account on the Twitter social network wrote: “We celebrate 250 years of the birth of Simón Rodríguez. Born in Caracas, who led our Father of the Fatherland along the revolutionary roads, becoming his mentor. Robinson was a man ahead of his time, who left in the Americas the concept of the new liberating pedagogy”.
Rodriguez was born in Caracas on October 28, 1769 and died in Amotape, Peru, on February 28, 1854. He stood out for his deep knowledge of the Spanish-American society, which he later transmitted to Simón Bolívar by serving as his teacher and mentor.
