I want to thank, on behalf of the Foundation for Urban Culture and Society of Friends this special recognition granted by the Venezuelan Academy of Language. We were born a decade ago to manage culture and serve as intermediaries between creators and their audience, without Manichaeism or interests. Rafael Arráiz Lucca, whom we remember today with affection and gratitude, and part of this noble institution, was the one who managed to assemble a team of human talent that carried out the publication of more than a hundred titles from varied sources within the humanistic field.
also be released discs, videos, brochures and organizaron centenares de conciertos, charlas, foros, seminarios, conferencias y exposiciones. Rafael Arráiz pertenece a la estirpe de Mariano Picón Salas, Juan Liscano o Simón Alberto Consalvi en la capacidad gerencial de dirigir proyectos para difundir y alimentar los valores libertarios, democráticos y de formación integral que nos ofrece la cultura en cada una de sus manifestaciones.
Buena parte de este esfuerzo editorial y su archivo permanecen retenidos en los espacios donde estaban las oficinas y depósito de la fundación. Diez meses después, sin mediar explicaciones, los interventores de Econoinvest, empresa que corría con los pagos de arriendo, mantienen en cautiverio y expuestos al deterioro dicho material.
When you retain more than thirty thousand books or disappearing thousands of copies of public libraries have the civic duty to denounce not only for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren who would claim our position tomorrow. The complaint must be accompanied, if not successful, by the possibilities offered by the Constitution.
I also remember our colleague William Niño Araque, who from the first infected by their enthusiasm, knowledge and human qualities and contributed decisively to the establishment of projects in photography, architecture, urban planning and sociology, for which many identify the foundation.
Each of us is committed to strengthen these projects and augment them to honor their memory and for the efforts of others, which today are persecuted or jailed by the intransigence and the arbitrary, is not lost.
Our fight is for the transmission of knowledge within a context of plurality, is in favor of creating the tools that citizens enjoy, identify and nurture their own concerns, to be an activist and not a passive consumer , indoctrinated, dull, cultural property.
Our fight is not against anyone specifically, but I understand that the obscurantist not please them our way. To them I say, fully voice that will go forward, strengthened by those who have always been the shareholders and promoters of this project: the ordinary citizen.
In a democracy and a cultural activity confrontation, recognition and affluence are indispensable / / Dible. As one philosopher and physician Lara "the worst dictatorship is fear."

You as language aides have acknowledged with generosity and courage to a foundation course that will advance with the same enthusiasm and principles that originated. Karl Kraus said that language was the mother of thought.
So, to take care of that language and channel evolution is the Academy. And Foundations exist as facilitators of the various languages \u200b\u200bthat man creates. We then have a joint task to accomplish, in defense of plural language and culture, free and enlightening.
