Caracas, Apr 14 (EFE).- Dozens of Galicians in Venezuela said goodbye this Friday night to the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda, visiting Caracas, with a cultural meeting at the Galician Brotherhood, where musical groups performed of bagpipes and dance groups.
Among the participants of the event, the Spanish bagpiper Susana Seivane stood out, as well as the Xuntanza Fillos de Ourense bagpipe band and the nationalist dance group Ditirambo, as well as six other cultural groups.
With this, Rueda finished a work agenda in Caracas, which included a tour of the Galician Brotherhood, which has 30,000 members, and a meeting with children who recited poems and told of their progress in Galician classes, as well as with the elderly from the center by day, a care space for the elderly, in which the hosts sang and danced native sonatas from Galicia.
Likewise, the politician presented the second edition of the plan “Estratexia Galicia Retorna 2023-2026”, which aims to promote and guarantee the right of return of Galicians abroad, both emigrants and their descendants.
Rueda -who arrived in Venezuela this Friday as part of the Latin American route that began last Wednesday in Panama and will end in Mexico- assured that he is committed to helping the Galicians residing in the Caribbean nation, whom he thanked for their work for teaching and keep alive the culture of the autonomous community.
Rueda is expected to travel this Saturday to Mexico City after fulfilling his schedule in Caracas.
