An 8 foot glass plate monument on a circular stone base was erected at the highest point of the Venezuelan Andes, Point Aguila, in the state of Mérida. Venezuelan vice-president Jorge Rodríguez inaugurated the monument on October 8th, 2007. Eleven days later on October 19th, it was shattered by six gunshots and a sledgehammer by the Páramo Patriotic Front, an anti-Communist movement. They left a note at the scene which read: "We don't want a monument to 'Che' Guevara, who is not an example for our children to emulate: he was Minister of Industry in Cuba and finished off all Cuban industries; he was chancellor and isolated Cuba from the rest of the world; he was chief of the Cuban National Bank and bankrupted the country. So, Jorge Rodríguez let your sons be like 'Che' and Chávez's too; but as for our children, we don't want them to be anything like 'Che.'"
