A video captures a bronze statue of Simón Bolívar, a South American liberator, standing tall in a park or plaza in Caracas, Venezuela. The statue depicts Bolívar in a military uniform, holding a sword or saber at his side. It rests on a green rectangular base. On the front of the base, white text in Spanish is clearly visible, reading: "LOS HIJOS DE LOS ESCLAVOS QUE EN ADELANTE HAYAN DE NACER EN COLOMBIA QUEDARAN LIBRES; Y LOS QUE AUN PERTENECEN A LA MAYORÍA DE EDAD, SERAN CONSIDERADOS COMO LIBRES SI SIRVEN CON SU ARMA EN EL EJERCITO LIBERTADOR CUYA BANDERA ES LA LIBERTAD. SOLO POR LA LIBERTAD SOLICITUDA DEL LIBERTADOR AL PRESIDENTE DEL CONGRESO DE LA REPUBLICA DEL TRIUNFO DE LA BATALLA DE CARABOBO SIMON BOLIVAR VALENCIA 14 DE JULIO DE 1821" This translates to: "The children of slaves who are hereafter born in Colombia shall be free; and those who are still of legal age shall be considered free if they serve with their weapon in the Liberating Army whose flag is freedom. Only for freedom. Request of the Liberator to the President of the Congress of the Republic of the triumph of the Battle of Carabobo SIMON BOLIVAR VALENCIA JULY 14, 1821." The statue is surrounded by green grass, various bushes, and large trees providing shade. In the background, other people can be seen walking or sitting, and a person wearing a yellow safety vest and a red shirt is briefly visible leaning against a tree. The scene appears to be taking place during the daytime under fair weather conditions. A small wooden fence post is visible in the bottom foreground.
