00:00Argentina's National Assembly approved the resolution that benefits the

00:04country's retirees and the labor sector in spite of budget cuts by President

00:09Javier Milley. On Wednesday deputies debated on a reform to improve the

00:14conditions of the working sector and the health crisis. However, the government

00:18warned that it will veto the excuse that there is not enough funding to face the

00:23country's decay. Earlier today while Congress was discussing its decision

00:34retirees in Argentina mobilized in front of the National Congress to express their

00:39disapproval of the neoliberal policies implemented by the administration of

00:43Javier Milley who seeks to criminalize protest in the country. Under police

00:48tension hundreds of pensioners gathered in front of the Congress to demand an

00:52increase in pensions, supplementary bonuses, and a price adjustment for medicines.

01:02Also on Wednesday and ten years after the historic day that marked the beginning of

01:08a feminist wave in Latin America, the movement called Neuna Menos mobilized

01:13with retirees Wednesday in front of Congress to protest Javier Milley's

01:17adjustment policies. The movement also urged the government to adopt policies

01:21against gender-based violence, the persecution of workers in soup kitchens and

01:26migrant women. Social organizations and trade unions also joined the

01:31demonstrations.

01:32In Venezuela, revolutionary forces celebrate the soaring in of the re-elected governor of the

01:44eastern state of Monagas, Ernesto Luna. Supported by the Secretary General of the United Socialist

01:50Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, the governor of the state reaffirmed the fulfillment of tasks

01:57to deepen the construction of a prosperous state. He also expressed his vision of turning

02:03Monagas into a model state with opportunities and economic growth.

02:07Likewise, Luna ratified his political idea to continue materializing the social

02:12achievements for the benefit of all the sectors.

02:22I swear before our people, before God, before my mother, my family, my wife, before all of

02:29you, to continue serving our people. To continue serving, to build nothing more and nothing less

02:36than the most prosperous and beautiful Monagas and that together we are building.

02:42That is why today is not only a swearing in ceremony, it is an act of commitment that we

02:48unite in our soul, in the depths of our being in every territory, to continue to work in all territories,

02:57in every street, in every school, in every village, in every urbanism, in every sector,

03:03visiting our people, listening to our people, to undertake the task that our eternal commander,

03:10Hugo Chavez, has entrusted to us and that our president, Nicolas Maduro Moros, has demanded

03:17of us, which is to work together with the people, hand in hand with the people, together with

03:24the organized communities, together with the popular sectors, together with the different

03:29social sectors of the social, economic and political life of the state.

03:35The Secretary General of the PSGV, Diosdado Cabello, highlighted the effort to win in Monagas

03:43under clear lines and rules of work for the benefit of the people.

03:50We have moved forward and we must say it on our own. The government and the people of Venezuela

03:59pushing that ship, Ernesto called Venezuela to move forward, working, with our effort, producing,

04:08under a line of clear rules of work and of all. And Monagas is fundamental. What doesn't Monagas have?

04:18In addition to all the natural wealth, it has an extraordinary people who work, who do not rest,

04:25who fight, it has a formidable women's movement, who are in the streets every day, and you,

04:32as governor, must add up. That three, four percent that did not vote come here, let's invite them.

04:40We have the arguments to talk to them, we are not going to fool them, we are going to talk to them clearly,

04:48and we have the means to prove it.
