00:00Meanwhile, in Venezuela, the National Congress of the Bolivarian Historical

00:03Bloc continues. For more details on its third day, we go live with our special

00:08envoy Belen de los Santos.

00:13Exactly, Luis, thank you. We are here in the Grand Congress of the Bolivarian

00:19Historical Bloc, as we have been yesterday as well, as we have been

00:23bringing you all the information from here. And this day is marked, as we said

00:29in our last touch live, by the proposal made by the President Nicolás Maduro to

00:36discuss the theoretical concept of the historical bloc. You know that the full

00:42name of this Congress has to do with the Bolivarian Historical Bloc Congress, and

00:47the idea is to really think about this concept. And what this concept is, is a

00:53Gramscian concept to understand the current scenarios and the political

00:57forces at play in a particular country. In this case, we are talking about

01:03Venezuela. The historical bloc has to do with analyzing the economic

01:09structure of a moment in particular, of a historical moment, and also the political

01:16forces and civilian forces that are at play at that moment. And all of that

01:22combination gives the present moment and the possibilities of governance, of

01:28transformation, of the dynamics of a society at a given time. So the idea of

01:35focusing this day, after the delegates from all over the country have been

01:40talking about the different problematics and different key issues that they are

01:46thinking how to transform and how to continue deepening the Bolivarian

01:50Revolution in the upcoming years. Now they are focusing today in understanding

01:56and deepening their understanding of the concept of the present time. What is the

02:03economical structure right now that is marking this present time in Venezuela?

02:09What are all the actors at play? The political actors, the social actors, the

02:15civilian society, and what can be done to really push forward the revolution, the

02:23revolutionary process in the right direction according to what the basis,

02:29the territories are deciding. So among these assemblies, let's think that out of

02:34the seven assemblies that have been discussing issues related to economics,

02:39to the social well-being, to political participation, now they're focusing all

02:45the debate around this single topic. And this has to do with the importance of

02:51their own political education and formation. The idea of deepening the

02:58theoretical thought about the moment because that is what this moment of the

03:04Bolivarian process demands. It demands the compromise from every militant, from

03:11every society member to really understand what is happening and so to

03:16move forward their activity in society in a way that makes sense for this

03:23present time. So it's a Congress marked by a lot of popular participation, a lot

03:29of deep thought and debate. People are coming from different parts of the

03:34country and they're bringing their stories and the stories from all those

03:39people, men, women, militants in other parts of the territory who could not come

03:44here because of course here there are only delegations. But the real debate has

03:48happened in all the territories since September. So they want to speak about

03:52the productive processes of every area. What do they need? What do people need to

03:58continue deepening this process? So everything is coming together and all

04:04the voices from the different generations will be talking to the youth

04:08movement, will be talking to the feminist movement, will be talking to workers from

04:12different productive sectors and they are all bringing their proposals and

04:19opinions to understand what this moment for Venezuela is about and how this

04:25revolutionary process will move on for the next mandate and also for the

04:30next 30 years. So that is what is happening right now. This day is also

04:36coming to a close in terms of the debate but there will be a movie featured that

04:42is focused on Eliprimera and that is what the delegates are going to be

04:48seeing. Again continuing the reflection process regarding the Venezuelan history,

04:54the Venezuelan process leaders and everything is coming together in a

05:00congress that is really set to spark popular participation for the years to

05:06come.
