Pentru turisti nu conteaza kitschul, vor veni sa vada noua atractie turistica din oras. Nu puteau dansa la carnaval, fara o statue gigant in jurul careia sa-si miste carele alegorice. London Eye e de-a dreptul kitshos, dar a ajuns un simbol al Londrei, atractie turistica :)
If Rio has its Christ and its Carnival, Oruro has it's Carnival, and now it has the Virgin. We're complete," said Virginia Barrios, a neighborhood leader. She said construction of the statue cost $1.2 million and took four years.
During Carnival each year, more than 30,000 people dance in procession through the streets, some in elaborate costumes, and brass bands blare. They honor the Virgin of Socavon, the patron saint of the city of roughly 250,000 people. http://www.tert.am/en/news/2013/02/02/bolivia/
