It was on that day, in 1811, that Venezuela finally enacted its declaration of independence from the Spanish Crown, which had been colonizing us for over three centuries.

For historical figures like Simon Bolivar, Jose Antonio Paez, and Francisco de Miranda, our independence from Spain was the beginning of a new Venezuela, an independent and free Venezuela. The idea was that by achieving our independence, we would be able to develop our own political and economic institutions. So, we would be able to finally develop as a nation.

In this sense, I am sure many thought that after our independence, far gone were the days when rulers acted in despotic and authoritarian ways in Venezuela.
