I am willing to relinquish the full powers granted to me, back to the Congress

President Maduro reveals original letter by Simon Bolivar found by Ambassador Moncada in London

An original letter, written and signed by the Liberator Simon Bolivar, was incorporated into the Venezuelan General Archives. The goal is for it to be preserved there and put on display so all Venezuelans may learn about it. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made the announcement from Miraflores Palace during a meeting with socialist governors. He then showed and read the letter, which remains in perfect condition. The Foreign Minister, Elias Jaua, had previously handed the letter to the president. “It is an original letter. It is a historic jewel,” said Maduro as he showed it and explained that Bolivar had addressed it to the Peruvian Congress after his successful battles in the south. Bolivar states in the letter: “I have finished my mission. I am willing to relinquish my appointment, as well as the full powers granted to me, back to the Congress of Peru.” “Comrades and combatants, this is an example of unselfish ethics,” Maduro said. President Maduro explained that the letter was found in the United Kingdom by the meticulous researcher Samuel Moncada during his tenure as Venezuelan Ambassador in London VTV, Sunday 31 May 2013
