00:00Vice President Delsi Rodriguez arrived at the National Assembly with good news.

00:06In spite of the illegal blockade by the United States, Venezuela's economy grew in 2024

00:12and will continue its upward curve by 2025.

00:17The ECLOC had projected a 5% growth for the year 2024 and 8.5% is the GDP growth for the

00:24first three quarters of 2024.

00:33The International Monetary Fund remained timid as always and we can already affirm that 14

00:39consecutive quarters of economic growth have been achieved in Venezuela.

00:49Why is it important to highlight it?

00:51Because unlike other countries, Venezuela is the rude victim of a siege, of an unprecedented

00:57economic aggression.

01:06Growth was expressed not only in Venezuela, but also in Latin America.

01:14And so we see that Venezuela will grow more than Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador,

01:20Peru and Uruguay according to ECLOC projections for the year 2025.

01:32Venezuela will once again be among the countries that grow the most in the region.

01:36You know that our opinionators of course, difficulties of course, vulnerabilities of

01:39course, a country under siege as Venezuela is under siege of course, but also what a

01:45great victorious resistance that our economy has had, mainly by its people.

01:55The presentation of the budget of about $23 billion for 2025, almost 80% of which will

02:01be destined to social issues, is the triumph not only of the economic aspect, but also

02:06of peace, which will be defended against the plans of the Venezuelan ultra right wing that

02:10are being dismantled.

02:15We have to tell those extremists to their face, there is a national union in the defense

02:19of Venezuela.

02:20So do not dare, do not dare because this people is tired of them, of those who have falsely

02:25assumed the condition to speak in a derogatory and denigrating way about Venezuelan women.

02:40And to that extremist lady with terrorist plans against the electrical system, against

02:44the gas distribution system, we say that we Venezuelan women are here, that we Bolivarian

02:50women are here to defend this homeland.

02:57The special emphasis of the resources will be directed to the communal power.

03:03A healthy, self-sustainable economy with an emphasis on our people, and with special attention

03:09to the people's power, that is the mandate you have as deputies.

03:18The democratic opposition wants peace.

03:20Nothing matters more to us than peace.

03:23The democratic opposition rejects the use of violence in politics.

03:27It energetically repudiates foreign sanctions.

03:36The democratic opposition is committed to the best future for Venezuela, a future of

03:40generalized prosperity, so that peace, democracy and well-being for all may be the sign of

03:462025.

03:54In our most enthusiastic endeavor, the economy tied to social issues is the key.

04:01A survey reveals that 60% of the private sector perceives that the economic situation

04:09will improve in a year.

04:11The National Assembly approved in first discussion the two bills requested by the Vice President.
