This problem was deepened by the feminist lawyer and political scientist, Maikely Ferrer, and the activist for human rights and sexual diversity, Alexis Bolívar. At the end of the day, the members of the Internationalist Brigade “Che Guevara”, made an anti-imperialist tour and oath at the Cuartel de la Montaña, in Caracas, where the remains of Commander Hugo Chávez rest, also received a decoration in recognition of their struggles, by the mayor of the Bolivarian Libertador Municipality, Erika Farías.
