00:00And now for more details regarding Venezuela's campaign in time, as well as other key issues in the country.

00:06We'll receive Junus Sonner, our special envoy in Caracas.

00:10We welcome Junus.

00:12Hello. Hello, good afternoon from Caracas, from Venezuela.

00:16The campaign is going on.

00:19The campaign of President and candidate Nicolas Maduro is progressing fast.

00:26He has met yesterday, on Sunday, the basis of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, the PSUV,

00:35and announced to them a new campaign method, which is one by ten by seven.

00:43That means each member of the party is called to contact ten other peoples

00:49and to convince them to vote for Maduro.

00:52That would tenfold the party's membership.

00:56And moreover, to convince seven of these ten people to convince others as well.

01:03Now, here's a magic number.

01:05Ten by seven is seventy.

01:08And seventy, that would have been the birthday of Comandante Hugo Chavez,

01:14his seventieth birthday, if he'd be alive, on July 28, the day of the election.

01:20So this is a huge mobilization campaign started by the governing PSUV

01:26to mobilize the basis, to mobilize the members for July 28.

01:31Later on, also on Sunday, Maduro visited the theater Teresa Carreño in downtown Caracas,

01:38where he attended the presentation of a biopic, let's say, on his biography,

01:45attended by hundreds of people.

01:47The theater was full. I was there too.

01:50And this is a biopic that describes Maduro's life from childhood until today,

01:58going over the most important stages in his growth, in his adulthood,

02:04including his meetings with Comandante Chavez, of course,

02:08how he chose to become a political activist or a politician,

02:12and how he endured repression from state apparatus in the Fourth Republic,

02:18how he organized laborers in the trade union, explained in detail.

02:23This documentary or biopic will be broadcast chapter by chapter every day.

02:29And Maduro, I found it very interesting.

02:32At the ceremony, he said, life has been hard, life has been intense,

02:37life has been beautiful, because it will be more beautiful in the future that is ahead of us.

02:44He presented himself very optimistic.

02:47Today, he visited the Bolivar State in South Venezuela,

02:52a state with huge companies that extract iron, that extract, that produce steel.

02:59There are hydro-electrical power plants there.

03:02And here the president and candidate reinstated that he will never privatize any of these key industries.

03:11This is a key issue in the presidential discussion,

03:14as oppositional candidates are expected to privatize not only these hydro-electrical plants, for instance,

03:23but also the oil industry, Venezuela's backbone in the economy.

03:29What do we have on the oppositional side?

03:31We have Javier Bertucci. He is an evangelical minister.

03:36He is the head of the Party of Change.

03:39And he met other ministers all over the country today to convince them to join his movement.

03:46He says his focus was on the economy.

03:49He said the economy will recover.

03:51And how will he do that?

03:53He said, I quote, by salvation and praying to Jesus.

03:59So, his political-economical program is based on actually belief, on religious belief.

04:08The other candidates were also active in different parts of the country,

04:13but they more held closed indoor meetings.

04:17One of them already criticized the other for having held a meeting in the central university of Venezuela

04:25and having thus violated the university's neutrality and autonomy.

04:30So, on the oppositional front, today was not a very big present day in regards to movements on the streets.

04:39Thank you, Yunus, for this complete report on what's going on in the campaigning

04:45and proselytizing activities time in Venezuela ahead of the July 28th elections.

04:50We will expect you in further broadcast missions.

04:55Thank you.
