00:00We were listening to the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, as he presented his annual

00:06message to the nation within the framework of the National Plan of the Seven Transformations

00:11for a New Era of Transition to Socialism.

00:14In his remarks, the President made a summary report of his administration during the year

00:202024, reiterated the call for a constitutional reform and addressed issues such as economic

00:27recovery, political stability and the possible designation of budgets for social investments

00:33in 2025, in spite of the destabilizing manoeuvres of the national and international extreme

00:38right wing against the country.

00:40If we have a country in holy peace, the President said, it is because we have defeated hatred,

00:46fascism, intolerance.

00:48And now we contact our special envoy, Junos Zuner, who is at the Teresa Carreño Theatre

00:55and has all the details and highlights from the annual address of President Nicolás Maduro

01:00before the National Assembly.

01:02Hi Junos, what can you share with us?

01:05Front of the Cultural Centre Teresa Carreño, here in downtown Caracas, where the speech

01:12of the President has just finished, a fundamental speech required by the Constitution, Article

01:19271 of the Bolivarian Constitution, requires the President to hold an annual report within

01:27the 10 days after the start of the parliamentary year, and that speech is to be held in front

01:33of the National Assembly, of all the National Assembly members, was done here in the theatre

01:42of Teresa Carreño, because there were thousands of people listening to this speech outside

01:50of the theatre as well, a resemblance of taking the oath ceremony that the President made

01:58also both in front of the National Assembly and later on in front of the Presidential

02:03Palace Miraflores.

02:06So that was a speech that was partly looking back to 2024, giving a balance of what happened

02:14in that year, the achievements of the government and the challenges it faced, and it was a

02:20look forward to what's to come in 2025 and later on.

02:25But I have a guest, Mayerlin Arias, thank you for taking the time Mayerlin.

02:30You have been inside and listening to the President, aren't you?

02:34Yes, I was in the Teresa Carreño Theatre, listening and watching our President, our

02:41National Assembly, our deputies, that are listening to this annual message.

02:46And how did you perceive the speech?

02:49What's your major take from that speech?

02:52What is the message that you got from the President's speech?

02:56We are very happy to listen and watch our President because it was an illustrative speech

03:07talking about all the things that we have been through in six years, all the growing

03:13in economics matters, but also in social politics, public politics in our country.

03:20So we are very happy to see that in these six years we are defeating hyperinflation

03:27and also fascism, you know, because we have a strong democracy.

03:33He was announcing that in this year, 2025, we are going to have ten elections, popular

03:42elections about community projects that we always start in 2024.

03:49So now we are going to ask people in the community what project they want to build or to grow

03:59in culture, in youth, but also in economic service, you know.

04:07So we are very happy with the achievements of our country in these six years, but we

04:13think that the major victory of these six years is the peace.

04:19We are in peace.

04:20He is building bridges to the other people that think different from us.

04:29He is speaking to all the Venezuelan people.

04:32He is saying, come to us.

04:34We want the happiness of all the people, of the Venezuelan people.

04:39No matter party, no matter ideology, the important thing is that you want peace and you want

04:46health care for free, education for free, houses for the people with vulnerabilities.

04:56So it's justice, social justice.

04:59So he's saying to the Venezuelan people that in other countries that they are welcome here,

05:07that we have security.

05:09We have major achievement in security.

05:15Venezuela is the safest country of America in this moment.

05:21Thank you very much.

05:22Indeed, the president's speech was dominated by achieving or maintaining that peace.

05:29And based on it, he announced a number of political measures, a number of reforms that

05:36include, for instance, the introduction of a new ministry of foreign trade, that include

05:42the introduction of the digital Bolivar, that include, as you mentioned in your introduction,

05:51the introduction of the Constitutional Reform Committee.

05:55So it was indeed a very forward-looking speech.

06:00And these measures and these new ideas will surely be discussed and started being applied

06:09in the next days, weeks and months.

06:12In summary, this was an important speech because it is one of the most important moments, prolonged

06:20moments of government communication with the Venezuelan people established in the Constitution.

06:27But here, President Nicolas Maduro displayed a lot of concrete steps, concrete ideas and

06:34even signed some of them into decrees that will be started being applied from tomorrow on.

06:42Very concrete speech.

06:44That's for the time being what we can report here from here, downtown Caracas, in the front

06:50of the Cultural Center, Teresa Carreño.

06:55Thank you, Eunice.

06:56And also thank you, analyst Mayelin Arias, for all the information.

07:00And we were listening to our special envoy in Caracas, Eunice Zuner, who attended President

07:05Nicolas Maduro's annual message to the nation at the Teresa Carreño Theater.

07:10And this is all for the moment, but we invite you to stay tuned with TELESUR.
