The 12-day intense pilgrimage featured political and government authorities, the National Assembly members, the people, and civil society, who denounced the impact of the blockade and unilateral coercive measures, but also for reflection, support, and truth.

Social and cultural movements, farmers, fishermen, religious leaders, lawmakers, allied and opposing political parties, entrepreneurs, youth, women, athletes, and others participated in transparent meetings where ideological beliefs, creeds, or social standing were irrelevant.

More than political differences, as each meeting was acknowledged time and time again, the speeches and proposals focused on reconciliation, moving forward together, and leveraging what unites them to help the country progress through the complex situation it faces.

Participants remembered the events that occurred on January 3, when the country was struck by a nuclear power, as acting President Delcy Rodriguez stated, and the missiles and bombs were felt falling.

Rodriguez thanked on Wednesday, from the northern state of La Guaira, the people of that locality for their participation in the pilgrimage, which represents a “new spirituality” for a nation that has never “surrendered and march with their heads held high” to raise the banners of dignity, sovereignty, and independence.
