00:00I support Venezuela because, you know, every week I'm getting, I'm able to access food,

00:05you know, we are receiving the clap bags several times a month.

00:11You know, people were telling us their experience as women,

00:14their experience as children, there were children on the streets shouting,

00:18Vamos Nico! I said, why do you support Nicolas Maduro?

00:21And they're saying, he's my president.

00:23Because of him, you know, I have a future in my education.

00:26I can go to university if I want to.

00:29So I think it's really important to be on the streets with people,

00:33to share that sense of participation,

00:38to share that sense that this movement does not belong to one person,

00:43does not belong to Nicolas Maduro.

00:44And he's the first person that says that.

00:46He's saying that this is the people's revolutionary process.

00:50This is the people's Bolivarian revolutionary movement.

00:54And the National Assembly, the swearing in that happened yesterday,

00:59belongs to the Chavista people.

01:00And yesterday, Caracas belonged to the Chavista people.

01:04And although I wasn't there, I've seen the photographs of people

01:09mobilizing on the streets in all of the cities around Venezuela.

01:13This wasn't just about Caracas.

01:15There were hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of Venezuela yesterday

01:19supporting the inauguration of Nicolas Maduro.

01:22And so when papers like The Guardian say, you know,

01:27that Maduro has lost the streets,

01:29or that the inauguration was sparsely populated,

01:32they are making those people invisible.

01:35They are ignoring huge sections of Venezuelan society,

01:39like they don't mean anything to the media in our country.

01:44So it's important for us to fight the media war against Venezuela.

01:49This is our, you know, number one focus.

01:52And we regularly have protests outside of The Guardian.

01:55We're having one on the 15th in London this month, in a few days' time.

02:00And because we have to challenge their lies.

02:03You know, we know the lies of the right-wing media.

02:06But the problem is, is that The Guardian poses as a left voice.

02:10It poses as a liberal voice.

02:13And so it creates so much confusion amongst the people,

02:18you know, people who consider themselves as left,

02:21or consider themselves as, you know, socially conscientious.

02:25It creates all this confusion.

02:26So this is why we have to challenge these newspapers,

02:31these media outlets, and we have to fight the media war.

02:33It is part of fighting the blockade against Venezuela,

02:36is fighting the media war.
