During his speech yesterday, Fraija congratulated and valued the work of the entity's governor, Héctor Rodríguez, who has been promoting Mirandino sports to the highest levels of competitiveness.
“Miranda was in the first and second places disputing with other states, then the right came to govern and went to seventh, eighth and ninth places where we had no competitive capacity; but with the arrival of the revolution, we have all the expectations that we will return to the podium of the first places”, stressed Fraija.
