This is a moment of reaffirmation of how the Venezuelan people wants to defend its democracy,
00:08
that it's been at risk for so many years for the simple fact that the far-right and also their allies in the U.S.
00:20
and the allies of the United States in the Western Hemisphere do not want to listen to the people's voice,
00:28
do not want to defend the country, they do not want to develop the country,
00:34
they only want to take advantage of the resources of the country which are greatly massive and important for the region and the world
00:42
because Venezuela has the greatest reservoir of oil in the planet.
00:49
And this is not a simple fact.
00:53
There are very clear intentions behind all the attempts that have been carried out by the extreme right wing
01:02
with the complicity of many countries, also with governments from the very far extremist, far right wing.
01:11
This is a moment in which Venezuela is saying no to these intentions,
01:15
is saying no to the attempts to destabilize the economic sector,
01:19
to destabilize the social life of Venezuelans who are also very joyful people,
01:25
who are amicable people.
01:27
And in spite of the economic warfare that the country is going through,
01:33
numbers speak out, speak volumes,
01:36
because Venezuela has managed to grow economically for the past years
01:41
in spite of the sanctions that are being imposed to the country
01:45
because Venezuela is not alone
01:47
and also because Venezuela has a resilience that is shown,
01:52
that is, it is translated into social and community projects
01:59
that are being used in a large scale,
02:03
for example, for the self-sufficiency of their, of agriculture,
02:10
for the development of agriculture in the country
02:14
to become a sustainable country
02:17
that can provide their own products,
02:22
to provide to the people.
02:25
And this is only possible because there are also very much initiatives
02:31
in the communes that are being multiplicated along the country.
02:36
And this is a moment precisely for this purpose,
02:40
to defend what Venezuela has achieved
02:43
in spite of all the obstacles that it's been facing for many years,
02:49
in spite of the violence that has been promoted
02:52
by the far right wing,
02:56
led by several people with different names,
03:00
but the same idea of taking advantage of the resources of Venezuela,
03:06
of taking advantage of the resources that are destined,
03:12
that should be destined for the people
03:14
and for the economic growth of the country
03:16
because it has the capacity to do so
03:19
but has so many, so many sanctions imposed
03:23
that it's a little bit harder for other countries in the world
03:30
to achieve an economic stability.
03:36
But in spite of all this,
03:38
Venezuela has been able to do so,
03:40
has been able to reach a moment
03:42
in which there are numbers
03:47
that prove that Venezuela is reaching its own development
03:52
in its own very own ways
03:54
and also is being respected worldwide.
03:59
And we could see that during the tour
04:01
that President Nicolás Maduro offered to Russia
04:04
and how he was received as the President
04:07
of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
04:10
and he received all the honours
04:12
and also all the gratitude of the Russian people
04:16
and all those who attended to this event
04:20
that marked, in this occasion,
04:23
marked the 80th anniversary of the great victory
04:26
against fascism and Nazism
04:30
by the Soviet Union in 1945.
04:34
So, we could see this.
04:37
This means that Venezuela is not alone
04:40
and this visit to Russia is a proof of it
04:45
because President Nicolás Maduro
04:47
held bilateral meetings with several leaders worldwide
04:50
and he's always being received
04:52
with such gratitude and respect
04:56
and there was a common idea
04:58
in all these bilateral meetings
05:00
and in this moment
05:03
and it was that Venezuela is very respected
05:07
because it is a dignified nation
05:09
that is facing the most atrocious economic war
05:12
ever experienced
05:14
precisely perhaps only compared
05:18
to the struggle that Cuba is having
05:20
towards because of the economic sanctions
05:27
also imposed by the US
05:28
and the hostilities imposed
05:30
to that island nation
05:32
but Venezuela is suffering deeply
05:37
these economic sanctions
05:38
but also is proving its resilience
05:42
its ways to move on
05:46
and to sort off all these obstacles
05:50
that have been imposed
05:51
and also how every electoral process
05:55
in the country
05:55
and every crucial political moment
05:58
in the country
05:58
has been widely seen
06:01
by the whole world
06:02
that is paying such an attention
06:05
that is not received
06:07
in other nations
06:08
in other electoral processes
06:09
in other countries around the world
06:11
it is Venezuela
06:12
because Venezuela represents this
06:15
represents a change
06:16
represents a society
06:18
a society that is building
06:20
from the inside to the outside
06:22
that is building
06:23
based on the respect
06:27
also based on the initiatives
06:33
that the communes are promoting
06:36
alongside the people
06:38
the communes are basically
06:40
the base of the communities
06:43
the base of the country
06:45
and this could be dangerous
06:48
for many of those leaders
06:51
of the far right
06:52
that are trying to impose
06:55
an economic order in the world
06:56
that is the opposite of this
07:00
so as we mentioned
07:03
this is a crucial moment
07:05
for Venezuelans
07:06
this is a crucial moment
07:08
that is proving
07:11
that Venezuelans
07:13
are willing to keep
07:15
fighting for their sovereignty
07:17
to keep fighting
07:19
for their migrants abroad
07:21
and for their safe return
07:23
of all of those
07:24
who are suffering
07:25
the consequences
07:27
of a xenophobic campaign
07:30
promoted by the leader
07:32
of the United States
07:33
Venezuelans are joined
07:36
are united today
07:38
because of this
07:39
because of what the government
07:41
has been representing
07:43
for them
07:44
for the past years
07:45
a government
07:46
that has been representing
07:48
resilience
07:50
in spite of the obstacles
07:53
has been showing
07:55
that everyone matters
07:57
that the most vulnerable
07:59
are listened
08:00
that those
08:02
for example
08:03
those families
08:04
that are suffering
08:05
the consequences
08:06
of this economic blockade
08:09
and hardship imposed
08:10
on the country
08:11
and have had to take
08:15
the hard decision
08:16
to migrate
08:19
and now are facing
08:20
the consequences
08:22
of this xenophobic campaign
08:25
and that is violating
08:26
the migrants' rights
08:28
and also
08:29
the people
08:30
is precisely seeing
08:31
how the government
08:32
has been providing
08:33
all its support
08:34
for their safe
08:36
and dignified return
08:37
to the country
08:38
for their safe
08:39
and dignified return
08:40
to the country
