00:11In the Miranda State, the mayor's office of the Sucre municipality attached importance to popular and insurgent communication,
00:18as well as the legacy of Commander Hugo Chavez in the battle of ideas and the solidarity with the Palestinian reporters in Gaza who risked their lives every day to denounce the Israeli genocide.
00:29In this context, the work of Telesur Multimedia Platform was acknowledged, which will soon celebrate its 20 years as a passion of information serving the people.

00:49A very popular neighborhood in this Latin American country, that is the headquarters, the birthplace of Telesur,
01:02but it is also one of the largest, if not the largest, neighborhoods in Latin America, and the Caribbean.
01:08And the meaning is the roots in the territory and the local.
01:12The important thing of communicating with the simplest people, on street, to know their expectations, their achievements, their needs.
01:19Not because Telesur is an international media network, it is far from it.
01:23It cares for small thing, for what it is important for the community.
