In the framework of the commemoration of Youth Day, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, inaugurated the Antonio José de Sucre International School of Youth Leadership on Wednesday afternoon.
The launch of this institution responds to an instruction issued by the Venezuelan head of state, during the 16th anniversary of the Youth of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), on September 12, 2024.
On that occasion, the Dignitary said that Venezuelan youth has much to give in the coming years and considered that from the new training center, transformations and the construction of a society of equals, with ethics and morals, should be promoted to lead the coming years of the 21st century.
The Antonio José de Sucre International School of Youth Leadership aims to train young people from 15 to 35 years old in leadership and strategic areas, with a focus on developing critical capacity and revolutionary and social values.
More than 2,000 young people from the Socialist Youth of Venezuela participate in this activity, in person and under the videoconference modality, in the 5,338 Communal Circuits of the country.
Also present are young people from the Gran Polo Patriótico (Great Patriotic Pole) Simón Bolívar, also representatives of the founding generation of the JPSUV and international guests.
This day, together with President Nicolás Maduro, is a good time to commemorate the 211 years of the Battle of La Victoria, a heroic conquest that allowed the life of the Second Republic to be preserved and so surprised the Liberator Simón Bolívar that he granted General José Félix Ribas the title of «Victory of the tyrants.»
