Broken Maria

June 6, 2004

On the 4th of June the Direction for Historical Patrimony from the Mayorship of Libertador County in Caracas announced with great fanfare that the restoration of the Maria Lionza statue (in the middle of the freeway near the Universidad Central), had culminated successfully. The next day the statue broke down. Huge incompetence or “a plot from a fascist opposition to make the government look bad”?
