National Assembly of Culture

The objective of the National Assembly of Culture was to develop a Strategic Plan and create a structure for participation and representation in the field of culture at both the regional and local level as well as a Permanent Council of Culture at the national level and thus start reforming this sector. The National Assembly was prepared from 2005 to 2006 with local and departmental assemblies that sent representatives to the National Assembly where they presented and discussed the results of the previous assemblies between more than 300 delegates and with the presence of President Vázquez. However, the Permanent Council of Culture was not established, and as of 2015 new attempts at reform and restructuring began with the "National Culture Plan".
