00:01:12 Let's see some images

00:01:19 silly, and I
00:01:22 sweating.
00:01:24 Sweating more.
00:01:26 Sweating even more. We are in a
00:01:36 national radio and television
00:01:40 broadcast
00:01:42 giving a greeting to the working class, an immense mobilization.

00:02:17 Until this time, I believe that we have the
00:02:32 march of Ciudad Guayana is going all
00:02:43 over the place, the working class in Guayana.
00:02:47 There you can see the working class.
00:02:54 It is impressive, the joy, the will, the commitment.
00:03:01 There is
00:03:05 from one side to the other, and I'm congratulated
00:03:09 the comrades of the unions and the council, the productive council of workers of Guayana.
00:03:15 To all the working class, to all the people of Guayana.
00:03:20 Let's get into the video.
00:03:34 [Music]
00:03:36 Let's go to send greetings, a joyful greeting and a loveful greeting to our brother President Nicolás Maduro.
00:03:52 Today is a humbling day, brothers and sisters.
00:03:59 Mayfest,
00:04:02 the workers' day
00:04:04 from
00:04:07 men and the women that goes every day
00:04:09 to make the homeland, that goes out every day to produce, to sustain this family,
00:04:17 to sustain the state.
00:04:19 It is a day of fight,
00:04:25 and it couldn't be less here in Guayana.
00:04:32 This gigantic mobilization, we have to applaud this immense march that we have done today.
00:04:39 More than 20,000 people
00:04:45 will be out in the streets, in the streets of Guayana City
00:04:52 from a very early hour in the morning with joy and love. Our brother President Nicolás Maduro,
00:05:01 knows
00:05:03 that we are supporting him, that we are with him. The ones
00:05:08 that believed that the working class was
00:05:12 being deceived, the sectors, the ones that
00:05:18 in history have attempted against us. But if anyone knows,
00:05:24 the far right is the working class of Guayana.
00:05:29 The working class that faced him when they were in the government.
00:05:34 The working class that
00:05:37 won
00:05:40 to the neoliberal process that want to impose
00:05:43 to us. And in the streets, you comrades, alongside with us, we achieved to win the
00:05:51 privatization of the neoliberal process in the 98,
00:05:57 when we put our beloved President Hugo Chávez into the presidency.
00:06:02 That's why
00:06:05 I'm going to be one of you always and you know that.
00:06:10 I've been always with you in the good times
00:06:14 and in the bad times as well.
00:06:16 And now the good times are coming and we're going to enjoy it together,
00:06:22 comrades.
00:06:24 We're going to enjoy it.
00:06:27 As we're not going to
00:06:31 surrender
00:06:35 our achievements that are being out of the sacrifices,
00:06:39 we quit the colonial state
00:06:43 200 years ago. And 25 years ago, we stopped being
00:06:52 the ones that were under the influence of the United States government.
00:06:59 Like 200 years ago, we were a part of the fight for the freedom of the people,
00:07:06 for
00:07:08 the achievements of our people and our working class. And we won't rest the Guayana workers.
00:07:16 That's why I invite you, all of you, to keep on the streets, to be here in the streets with the highest flags.
00:07:24 This is the time of the workers. This is the time of the people
00:07:28 alongside Nicolás Maduro.
00:07:32 Because of the legacy of Hugo Chávez and Simón Bolívar, the Guayana people once again will conquer, comrades,
00:07:40 till the victory,
00:07:44 brothers and sisters.
00:07:46 Greetings to the working class of Guayana, socialist Guayana, the working class of Guayana.
00:07:57 To the stand outside, the
00:08:03 mobilization in Caracas continues. I am here now to receive the
00:08:09 PDVSA
00:08:13 signature of the working class. I was brought the signatures from the workers.
00:08:17 And to make some statements for the working class today.
00:08:26 It is impressive. I've been singing there. Let's make a wave.
00:08:35 Let's make a way outside.
00:08:40 Rise your hands.
00:08:43 We were in the mobilization and we got with the Estado, with Néstor Rodríguez,
00:08:51 with Rafael Tellechea. He was in the march with us.
00:08:57 Well, we were with the people.
00:09:03 Marching
00:09:06 about three kilometers. And then I got out because I have this assembly and a compromise with you. A commitment
00:09:14 with the delegates
00:09:17 of the spokesmen of the working class. Am I being listened outside?
00:09:25 You can see us there marching and the working class outside.
00:09:36 When I
00:09:38 came here and I got out of the car,
00:09:42 the temperature was in 34 degrees in the shade.
00:09:48 We were
00:09:52 in the sun, with a very hard sun.
00:09:55 But I'm feeling happy to have marched with my working class because I'm a working president of this homeland.
00:10:02 Long live to the home, the marching and the working class. The hope, it is
00:10:08 in the streets.
00:10:11 That's where the hope lies, in the streets.
00:10:14 And over there,
00:10:17 people were screaming,
00:10:20 "Maduro, fight, that goes along with the people."
00:10:26 They were also screaming, "Let's see if I can remember."
00:10:30 Listen to the last name, listen to the oligarchy, the people that are united, who can never be conquered.
00:10:48 Who can never be conquered.
00:10:50 And then,
00:11:01 and
00:11:16 I haven't lunch till this time, so I asked for a little soup.
00:11:22 Am I allowed to
00:11:26 drink this soup and a sandwich for you? Because this assembly is going to take a long time.
00:11:33 I'm greeting from here, and I've been saying that I'm seeing in
00:11:38 the Arbureneta Avenue, "Greetings to the working class."
00:11:43 The united working class can never be conquered.
00:11:47 When I was out of the assembly, I'm going to go there to dance salsa with Factor M.
00:12:01 But I've been told that we have a life connection with Coro.
00:12:10 The base of the working class march in Coro, the working class was in the streets. Go ahead, Coro.
00:12:18 Who is the working class president? Who is the humble president?
00:12:28 Who's the people's president?
00:12:31 Dear rebellious people of this city,
00:12:40 from this
00:12:42 Coro city, in this moment, in the International Workers' Day, we've been listening
00:12:50 from Caracas, our president, our
00:12:54 brave president. Let's send
00:12:59 some
00:13:01 shout to him, to Nicolás Maduro,
00:13:03 president of the poor,
00:13:06 president of the working class,
00:13:10 brave president, dear president Nicolás Maduro,
00:13:14 here you have your Coro people, and we want to allow myself,
00:13:21 with all this working
00:13:25 class from Coro, to congratulate the workers
00:13:30 from the homeland.
00:13:35 Happy International Workers' Day, working people,
00:13:39 working women,
00:13:41 working men.
00:13:42 This immense march and mobilization from today has shredded the last names, has shredded the hatred,
00:13:50 and has shredded with the ones that are asking for sanctions.
00:14:02 Shout down to the ones that hate our people, the ones that want trying to kneel us, with the sanctions and blockades and triction.
00:14:10 The traitors, the ones that ask
00:14:14 sanctions, and the ones that are asking the blockade, and we're saying here's the Venezuelan people,
00:14:21 here's the Coro people,
00:14:24 here is the
00:14:26 rebellious people of Simón Balívar and Hugo Chávez.
00:14:31 With Chávez,
00:14:33 they will not come back with Chávez.
00:14:38 With Chávez, with the strength of his spirit, with the strength of his word,
00:14:48 we say this
00:14:51 people is going to conquer the hatred, is going to conquer the last name, and
00:14:58 it goes to the future, to the victory, with Nicolás Maduro,
00:15:02 president of the victory.
00:15:05 It is a demonstration
00:15:09 that they want to mess with our people, that want to mess with the peace of the Republic,
00:15:17 that they want to mess with the growth and the welfare
00:15:23 that we had achieved with the revolution, and that's why we have these answers,
00:15:29 facing the threats and the hatred of the last names, facing the
00:15:35 threats of the ones that want to end up the Bolivarian revolution, and we're saying the
00:15:42 Coro people is out in the streets, and we're going to say we're going to the revolution, we're going to the future,
00:15:49 we're going with Maduro.
00:15:53 We're going with our people.
00:15:57 Let's move forward, people from the homeland, to conquer a victory
00:16:04 that
00:16:09 can transform into cosmic dust forever, the ones that ask for the sanctions, and from here, from this crowd
00:16:16 in Coro, with the view that we have of
00:16:21 this
00:16:23 rebellion, we demand that all sanctions, economic sanctions,
00:16:28 have been raised in Venezuela. People of Coro, I don't want to say goodbye in this
00:16:36 marvelous manifestation without asking to
00:16:40 send a greeting to the first worker of the homeland, the president, the working president, Nicolás Maduro.
00:16:50 Shout to him.
00:16:52 Long live the Coro.
00:17:08 Such beautiful faces.
00:17:12 And from here,
00:17:15 if there was 34 degrees in
00:17:19 Coro, maybe it could get to 45 degrees. The climate change is strong.
00:17:24 We went through Canteville, and all the working class came outside. It was a very beautiful sight. The workers,
00:17:35 it was worth the
00:17:38 perseveration for so many years. I say goodbye to Coro, and I say goodbye to Guyana City, and my greetings.
00:17:45 In all the cities, in Cumaná, in San Felipe, and all over the country, in Port Lamar.
00:17:54 Greetings.
00:17:58 How beautiful, really. I'm feeling
00:18:01 hugged and accompanied and loved by the working class of Venezuela. Thank you.
00:18:07 Men and women that are working,
00:18:11 we want to feel to the
00:18:15 working class.
00:18:17 It is impressive, for real.
00:18:19 Very beautiful.
00:18:22 And we have to make an effort for all the good and beautiful things that we're doing to defend it.
00:18:29 You're from the Unitarian
00:18:33 University Federation.
00:18:40 Waldo Vera was president of
00:18:42 the Simon Bolivar Federation, Workers' Federation. When I was 12 years old, I met him. Now that I met him, that I turned 60,
00:18:53 he gave my
00:18:57 greetings to the leaders of the glorious
00:19:03 Bolivarian Central
00:19:06 Socialism of workers, of the
00:19:10 field, the
00:19:12 profession, and the city.
00:19:15 Such a tremendous intervention yesterday of Aglea in the National Assembly
00:19:30 to make
00:19:33 accountable to one of the hatred people
00:19:36 that was getting out of the very good Aglea.
00:19:42 Very famous Chancellor.
00:20:05 And I
00:20:07 say Jose Mora, but no one knows who is Jose Mora.
00:20:15 Your grandfather still, and you have big kids already.
00:20:35 I met Reinaldo in the 80s. He was leader of the Neighbors Association
00:20:40 of the UD2. When you were living in the UD7 there, when the
00:20:48 Father Pablo Church was there, greetings to Father Pablo of the UD7.
00:20:56 Sandra brought his own crowd
00:21:05 Where is Sandra?
00:21:07 From the Caracas subway.
00:21:17 Edinson brought his crowd from the subway. Where is the subway people?
00:21:24 How are my brothers and sisters from the subway?
00:21:30 [Speaking in Spanish]
00:21:32 And to all the crowds and the representative of the working class that is
00:22:00 present today.
00:22:02 Us,
00:22:13 we've been given.
00:22:17 I love you too. I love you.
00:22:22 To all of you, we love each other and we will be happy forever.
00:22:27 [Applause]
00:22:29 Look,
00:22:34 comrades,
00:22:38 I cannot stop to remind
00:22:41 how many struggles have we been through these years.
00:22:46 And the working class, the workers
00:22:52 have always been in the first line.
00:22:57 Against the oligarchy, against the last name, against the imperialism.
00:23:01 I am a president, a labor president.
00:23:07 I've been
00:23:10 and I'm going to be
00:23:13 always a labor president of the Venezuelan homeland.
00:23:18 President of the worker class, from the humble, with the humble and for the humble.
00:23:26 President of barefoot, president of the neighborhoods.
00:23:30 We are the same.
00:23:33 We are the same, we know that.
00:23:36 But
00:23:40 every single May 1st, I remember especially
00:23:44 one May 1st, and I believe that never in my life will forget that.
00:23:50 I will be very old and I will get
00:23:55 even more gray hairs and I will get really white hair and I will have a white mustache also.
00:24:03 But I won't lose my strength, never.
00:24:05 And then when I get to a very old age, I will remember that May 1st of
00:24:13 2017 when with the working class I summoned the National Assembly to rescue the peace,
00:24:21 to defeat the coup d'etat, to end the Guarimbas.
00:24:26 I fought for the Constitution
00:24:29 and you were alongside me.
00:24:32 And we did the Constitutive Assembly and we won the peace till this day. Thank you to the working class.
00:24:42 [Chanting]
00:24:44 Unforgettable in the Bolivar Avenue, and I'm here with Selita from one point to another.
00:25:01 Till this day, that was the biggest march that we've done. We surpassed that in
00:25:07 2024, seven years after.
00:25:11 In 2020, did I say 2014?
00:25:14 2024.
00:25:17 How did I say?
00:25:19 But,
00:25:22 was the correct answer 2024, seven years ago.
00:25:25 Seven years ago. Do you remember, Celia?
00:25:29 It was impressive.
00:25:33 And that people there,
00:25:37 there is a Van Chavez and all the family,
00:25:40 Mrs. Elena.
00:25:43 We wish you farewell and we pray for your health.
00:25:48 There is very impressive. It was seven years ago in the middle of the most violent and criminal
00:26:01 status of the last name activated against the peace of the country and the homeland security.
00:26:08 Christ love you. Amen.
00:26:11 How the song say?
00:26:18 Christ love you in spirit and truth. Seek him
00:26:30 and you will see that in the end peace you will find.
00:26:34 (singing)
00:26:36 (singing)
00:26:38 (singing)
00:26:40 (singing in Spanish)
00:27:08 - It's a little bit out of shot,
00:27:10 but what matters is the feeling.
00:27:13 As we see this moment, May 1st of 2017,
00:27:17 the working class can book the Constitutive Assembly
00:27:22 and we won.
00:27:23 Today, May 1st, I announce that in my constitutional facts,
00:27:28 I extend the constitutive power to the working class
00:27:37 and the people in a popular process,
00:27:41 summons to a Constitutive Assembly,
00:27:46 a working, a community one.
00:27:48 It is the time, it is the path, to defeat the faceless globe
00:27:55 and that the people with the sovereignty
00:27:59 impose the peace on it.
00:28:01 I'm going to proceed to sign in this historical day,
00:28:03 May 1st, the constitutive original power
00:28:08 to the Constitutional Assembly signature.
00:28:15 The victories of us long live
00:28:19 the primal constitutive power.
00:28:22 And when the constitutive, we won the peace.
00:28:28 We won again.
00:28:33 All over the right road,
00:28:35 we're on the right side of the history.
00:28:37 And now we're fighting the big battle
00:28:43 in two main directions.
00:28:44 The battle against the blockade,
00:28:48 against the sanctions, against the last names.
00:28:52 And the battle for the economic growth,
00:28:58 the development and the recovery of the welfare state
00:29:01 and the social rights and the labor's rights
00:29:05 of the older working class in a progressive way.
00:29:08 Those are two big battles that comes along each other.
00:29:13 We were in Pedevesa a few days ago with you.
00:29:21 And a whole day started in the first stage.
00:29:29 Because the day before, because of a request
00:29:34 of the far right of the last names,
00:29:36 for a request of Leopoldo Lopez Capriles Julio Borges,
00:29:41 Antonio Ledejas, the ones that always do that,
00:29:48 the wicked one, United States of North America
00:29:51 took new sanctions against Pedevesa.
00:29:57 They did harm, yes, of course they did.
00:29:59 But we're going to get through that.
00:30:03 And with our own efforts, no one will stop us.
00:30:07 We're going to grow in the oil industry
00:30:10 and in an economical level with our own efforts.
00:30:15 It was a permanent blackmail of the United States empire.
00:30:27 We had, only because of those announcements,
00:30:32 partial loss all over both of the $2,000 million
00:30:40 for this four months in the income.
00:30:45 But we won't be stopped by that.
00:30:48 It was a stable growth of the oil industry and production.
00:30:55 Maybe in a smaller rate than we wait to,
00:31:00 but it was sustained and it's sustainable.
00:31:04 And this year we should achieve to the goal
00:31:07 of 1,000,000, 2,000 oil barrels per day
00:31:12 with our efforts, with our guts.
00:31:15 There are no license that can stop us.
00:31:17 That's the truth, comrades.
00:31:21 (audience applauding)
00:31:24 But they launched this missile into the requests of the,
00:31:30 who, the people?
00:31:32 The people ask for more sanctions.
00:31:35 The people is supporting the sanctions.
00:31:40 Who asked for the sanctions?
00:31:42 Who?
00:31:44 The oligarchy, the ones of the far right, last names.
00:31:51 The people knows those are the one, the anti-Holland.
00:31:56 We've been prepared.
00:32:03 Of course that we are prepared.
00:32:06 And we will continue to prepare ourselves.
00:32:08 If it's true that they launch our missiles,
00:32:13 we continue to work for the economical growth.
00:32:17 We
00:32:17 (speaking in foreign language)
00:32:22 We have come taking the directions combined
00:32:27 of the key elements of the present,
00:32:34 but most of all to seek the future
00:32:38 of the economy of Venezuela.
00:32:39 Fundamental elements, comrade,
00:32:46 that you're watching me here, you're listening to me here,
00:32:50 that you're still marching in the streets of Cora,
00:32:54 of Guyana City, of Cumanau, San Felipe, from Caracas.
00:32:58 Those are key elements there.
00:33:01 And we can say today that in Venezuela
00:33:08 has born a new economical model
00:33:12 with diversity that warranties the growth.
00:33:16 First place, we have warranty the self-sufficient
00:33:20 in 100% of the internal market of the country
00:33:25 with national production.
00:33:27 100% the food of Venezuela is produced here,
00:33:32 thanks to the countryside men,
00:33:36 to the producers of the field.
00:33:39 One point for us.
00:33:44 We were important 85% before.
00:33:47 It is an achievement of the people,
00:33:52 of the working class that will never stop
00:33:56 and a very right, righteous political,
00:34:00 economic policies that allowed us to achieve this.
00:34:05 The culture ministry is not present.
00:34:08 This is coming from China to sign some agreements
00:34:12 for the food production in the west of the country.
00:34:16 But we have the food ministry,
00:34:18 we have the fishing ministry, Comrade Juan Carlos Loyo.
00:34:22 It was increased a lot to very high levels.
00:34:29 Our produce here, the 67% of the lab by us in Venezuela.
00:34:35 (audience applauding)
00:34:42 The production of the fishermen of seas and river
00:34:47 is increased in the 67% to carry on the proteins
00:34:57 of the sea, of the rivers.
00:35:00 And to complement the protein of the chickens, the meat,
00:35:05 we have to strengthen, and it's one of the orders
00:35:09 that I want to give today,
00:35:11 not only those organizations in the territory,
00:35:14 we need to strengthen a new policy of workers help
00:35:19 to get all the protein in the food
00:35:24 to the working class that is organized.
00:35:26 Even more than today, are you agreeing on this?
00:35:29 It's been approved.
00:35:36 Food help for the working class.
00:35:39 I command you, Minister, to do this.
00:35:43 Comrades, to protect the food security of the families
00:35:49 of Venezuela, of the working class, in the homes,
00:35:56 and also in the work center,
00:36:02 because we're going to improve our health,
00:36:06 but of course, eating healthy for us.
00:36:11 Healthy, safe, tasty, and sovereign.
00:36:17 Do you like this?
00:36:24 I'm seeing you stronger now, Jacobo.
00:36:30 How's your health?
00:36:31 And a good point?
00:36:32 Are you eating four times?
00:36:34 Five.
00:36:36 It's eating always.
00:36:44 We've been making a direction to a new economical model
00:36:51 that is not dependent of sanctions and licenses,
00:36:57 because the United States government
00:37:01 pretend to impose a colonialist model.
00:37:05 Which country can accept that to produce their own oil
00:37:12 in their own land to get through ships
00:37:16 and ask another country for sanctions?
00:37:19 Can Venezuela accept this model
00:37:22 where we have to go to the United States
00:37:24 to ask for licenses to produce our own oil?
00:37:28 Never, we'll never accept this, never.
00:37:31 Colony, never again.
00:37:35 Independence or nothing.
00:37:39 A colony, never again.
00:37:43 In the middle of this battle,
00:37:47 warranty the production, national production,
00:37:50 the recovery of the industries.
00:37:54 Warranty the recovery of the national trading
00:37:59 that has come growing in a permanent rate,
00:38:03 the activities and the trading
00:38:05 and the entrepreneurship that has been growing.
00:38:08 The land production, the industrial production,
00:38:13 the trading, the financial activity,
00:38:17 the credit activity.
00:38:21 And two key elements, and we've achieved this
00:38:25 with our own mind and our own plans and our own effort,
00:38:32 the stability of the new banking system
00:38:36 and the recovery of Bolivar
00:38:39 and deceleration of the inflation.
00:38:42 We have now the lowest inflation in 14 years,
00:38:47 that decelerates even more every single day.
00:38:51 Key elements to grow the economy,
00:38:55 to offer employment, to support entrepreneurs,
00:39:00 to stabilize the new currency system
00:39:03 that doesn't depend on dollars,
00:39:06 but depends on their own economical system,
00:39:10 the deceleration of the inflation that we have now.
00:39:14 On inflation, January, February, March, April,
00:39:18 that is calculated lower for four months
00:39:25 of impact lower than the 30%.
00:39:32 And it has an annual projection for this year of the 60%.
00:39:37 It is good news for the economy in the recovery stage,
00:39:44 in the growing stage.
00:39:47 And if for one side we have some missiles
00:39:53 and they take away $2,000 million of the growth
00:39:58 that we had for this stage,
00:40:00 for the other side we're increasing the income
00:40:04 through the way that I just said.
00:40:10 The oil workers and the gas workers,
00:40:13 you have to have confidence that you're the mainstay
00:40:19 of the whole Venezuelan society
00:40:22 and the whole Venezuelan people.
00:40:24 But also, the comrade, José Martí Cabello,
00:40:29 comrade, the president of CENIAB.
00:40:34 I gave the order on January 10,
00:40:38 the day that I was in the National Assembly,
00:40:41 was to double the income by taxes.
00:40:45 And we have achieved a record rate in a percentage.
00:40:50 And I can tell by the end of April,
00:41:00 I mean January, February, March, April,
00:41:08 we broke records and we have made 66% more
00:41:13 in national taxes, 78% more,
00:41:20 more than $3,100 million.
00:41:24 On one side we have a missile,
00:41:29 but for the other hand we have our own effort.
00:41:35 And we're going to use the money,
00:41:40 the one that you're paying in taxes here and there,
00:41:43 optimizing, as I say to José David Cabello
00:41:47 and his achievement.
00:41:48 I want to congratulate José José Cabello
00:41:52 by the achievement of CENIAB in this four month
00:41:55 and all the workers of CENIAB.
00:41:57 That money, where it goes that money?
00:42:05 The production of oil is getting to 9,000 barrels,
00:42:09 even more 9,000 barrels.
00:42:13 Where is this achievement going?
00:42:18 Instead of, in the middle of this economy
00:42:21 that we're stabilizing with this new currency system,
00:42:25 with a very strong believer now that is resurrecting
00:42:29 in the field, national field,
00:42:32 with an inflation that we are decelerating,
00:42:36 with an economy growth that is real,
00:42:39 beyond the oil economy,
00:42:42 where are those resources are going?
00:42:44 To the social investment, to the big missions,
00:42:49 Venezuela women, Venezuela youth,
00:42:51 to the big mission of culture,
00:42:54 to the big missions for the elders
00:43:00 that I'm going to launch next week
00:43:02 to protect our elders in an integral way
00:43:06 and the pensions and the medicines and the health care
00:43:10 and it's daily life to protect our grandfathers
00:43:14 and grandmothers with more years, more love,
00:43:19 more love, the big mission for the elders of the homeland
00:43:24 to protect them in an integral way.
00:43:29 And where are they going?
00:43:32 I'm always pending on the income of the workers.
00:43:37 The revolution carried in an income point,
00:43:47 in a high income point,
00:43:50 the minimal income to $380, am I wrong?
00:43:56 Where is the chart?
00:44:00 I'm going to, when in 2008,
00:44:05 we had the income of $65,000 million,
00:44:13 a small money, right?
00:44:17 This is the number here, right?
00:44:19 And there is like the double.
00:44:25 When in 2008, we had the income of $65,000 million,
00:44:30 Commander Chavez took the minimum wage of the workers
00:44:37 to $380 and then some economical blow came in 2013
00:44:42 and I as a president, income was 53 million
00:44:50 and we could take the minimum wage
00:44:55 above the $200.
00:45:00 Then the total war, economical total war came
00:45:09 and the income of the workers got in 2020, remember?
00:45:15 We had to, with the homeland bonus
00:45:24 to impose entrepreneurship that year 2020
00:45:28 with the pandemic, income got to $7,000 million
00:45:33 and the minimum wage was to $4.
00:45:38 We have seen a hard situation,
00:45:49 but I say to you, a year ago I said,
00:45:53 I have the plan to optimize what is coming here
00:45:58 to get higher rates, oil production, taxes,
00:46:05 we're getting there to put the national income
00:46:09 in a higher place to maintain
00:46:11 and sustain the economical growth.
00:46:13 Those things get to the private sector workers
00:46:18 and a year ago I say, I'm going to apply a formula
00:46:23 a new one and I put it the minimum wage in $30
00:46:28 to optimize the few that was getting into
00:46:37 and it was a good result.
00:46:39 Then I put it in $70.
00:46:41 The January 1st I raised it to $100, the minimum income.
00:46:50 Controlling the inflation, maintaining
00:46:52 the economical stability, indexing and growing step by step
00:46:57 and today I've decided to get up the minimum wage
00:47:03 of the workers to $130 and with an impact
00:47:08 in the growing capability of the workers.
00:47:12 This year in January to May we've impacted
00:47:19 the 86% of the minimum wage,
00:47:23 integral minimum wage of the workers.
00:47:25 86% step by step, a little by little
00:47:32 we're going far and we're going to get back
00:47:36 the income of the workers, the income of the country.
00:47:39 Step by step, doing a lot with little.
00:47:48 Of all the sanctions of April 18th had an objective
00:47:53 to stop us, the May 1st gave another step
00:47:59 in the recovery of the income of the workers
00:48:01 but they couldn't do this.
00:48:06 The imperialists of the far right in the last name
00:48:09 and they won't be able to in this first semester
00:48:13 that only passed four months, we increased
00:48:17 the 86% of the minimum wage.
00:48:20 In the second that is upcoming I will be seeing
00:48:24 this to keep growing in the recovery of the wage
00:48:28 and the minimum wage of the workers.
00:48:32 Moving forward in the economical policies
00:48:39 and the recovery of resources, moving forward
00:48:42 in the restitution of rights with the new big missions
00:48:46 of new generations, moving forward in all topics
00:48:51 in the rights of the workers.
00:48:53 I'm receiving here a very important law.
00:48:57 The workers must know that a reform,
00:49:02 special reform has been made approved yesterday
00:49:05 from the royal state and habitational system
00:49:12 reform into the request of the working class.
00:49:17 This law established a joint of new rights.
00:49:22 I gave to the living stage a very high percentage
00:49:30 of money and next we're going to do it again
00:49:37 and I propose myself the goal
00:49:40 (speaking in foreign language)
00:49:41 You can see what I brought here.
00:49:43 With the plan of the 70s that you've done
00:49:51 from the base of debate and assembly,
00:49:55 I propose myself to build two millions of houses
00:50:00 more to achieve seven millions of houses
00:50:06 and put in the center of the effort
00:50:08 to the organized workers, to the workers,
00:50:11 to the working class in the CPT.
00:50:14 That's why I proceeded immediately to sign
00:50:23 and this law that warranties a more direct access
00:50:33 of the workers to the household and household finance
00:50:38 and household for the working class
00:50:41 has been signed and approved.
00:50:42 It's going to be published and executed.
00:50:47 Law of the household for the working class,
00:50:54 for the working families.
00:50:59 (audience applauding)
00:51:02 Moving forward in every aspect.
00:51:08 (audience applauding)
00:51:16 This is not a campaign.
00:51:24 Act, this is an assembly.
00:51:29 To share, just to speak a little bit.
00:51:33 Comrades, the working class protection,
00:51:49 the biggest protection is to build
00:51:54 and to deploy and develop a new economy
00:51:58 that generates employment, productive employment,
00:52:03 that generates income for the country
00:52:08 and the workers in the private sector
00:52:11 and in the public sector.
00:52:12 To the public companies, I've been told,
00:52:16 you can improve even more the income of the workers
00:52:22 if they work better and with more efficiency
00:52:27 and best income, you're authorized to improve
00:52:31 all the shards of income of the workers
00:52:34 of the public sector even more.
00:52:37 To move forward into the economical growth
00:52:44 of the real economy of the new economy
00:52:47 with stability of the change system,
00:52:51 with the deceleration of inflation and control
00:52:56 to the level that we're getting into,
00:52:58 we will amaze the world.
00:53:00 We will have the Nobel Prize of Economy to Venezuela
00:53:06 because we're building a new economy with blockade,
00:53:09 with economical war, with aggressions, with threats.
00:53:12 We are doing it and we are going to keep achieving that.
00:53:22 I've been saying we're going to win this from all fronts,
00:53:26 the front of economy, the social front, the workers front.
00:53:31 That's why the people is outside in the streets
00:53:37 with the conscience that they are mobilized
00:53:41 because that people that is outside in the streets
00:53:44 knows it really well, knows it really well.
00:53:48 That we're going to get more and we're going to improve
00:53:53 and the new economy with the new big missions,
00:54:04 with the recovery, progressive recovery of the income.
00:54:09 That's why the people say the hope is on the streets
00:54:15 and I say the people is in the streets,
00:54:18 the hope is in the streets.
00:54:19 Likewise, in the frame of the builders for the hope
00:54:43 and applause for the construction workers,
00:54:45 workers of the construction, comrades,
00:54:51 I'm really happy to say hi to you.
00:54:56 I remember to a comrade, Jose Salamat Khan,
00:55:01 Chinese Khan, honor to him because at the time,
00:55:11 25 years ago, the construction sector
00:55:16 was in the hands of other people, the armed gangs
00:55:21 and I was going with him and with several other comrades
00:55:32 to speak with the comrades and the workers to speak and speak
00:55:38 and after that work and process,
00:55:41 now we have the main force in the construction sector,
00:55:45 which is a Bolivarian force.
00:55:47 Like in every single sector, in education, healthcare,
00:55:56 oil, gas, oil chemistry, university sector,
00:56:07 transportation, public workers from the municipalities
00:56:12 and suggestions companies from the country,
00:56:20 the Caracas subway, all the transportation workers,
00:56:36 the airline, the subway that I already said,
00:56:40 from the cement workers, all the workers, a very big hug.
00:56:47 We have to move forward.
00:56:50 I'm going to make an agreement with a couple person here
00:56:56 but first of all, I'm going to say a very important thing.
00:57:00 The next Tuesday, in the frame of the builders
00:57:05 of the back mission of the elderly people,
00:57:09 the vice president, executive vice president,
00:57:15 Dulce Rodriguez, is going to proceed to introduce
00:57:20 a special law project in the frame of the justice
00:57:35 social justice, in the frame of our equality project
00:57:40 to the businessmen and employers of the country.
00:57:46 Make a special tribute in the month according
00:57:52 to their incomes to this law that is set in the new fund
00:57:58 to this law that is set in the new fund
00:58:03 goes to improve the pensions in the country
00:58:08 and the income of the elderly in a significant way.
00:58:13 The special law of apportation of the employers
00:58:17 to the protection of the pensions
00:58:19 facing the imperialist blockade.
00:58:21 I don't know if you, Mrs. Vice President,
00:58:29 and I ask, as a friend of mine will say,
00:58:34 it's not worthless.
00:58:37 All facing the blockade, facing the new sanctions
00:58:47 of the April 18th, the effort has to be coming
00:58:52 from all of us, we cannot be handling the whole issue
00:58:58 today, from your income you can tax to a substantial
00:59:03 improvement and add it to the resources
00:59:08 that we already have to improve in a substantial way.
00:59:11 And also with the model that we already established
00:59:18 to the minimum wage, the index pensions,
00:59:26 also.
00:59:29 And how is it going to be sustained?
00:59:35 To improving the income by taxes
00:59:44 with this new law that is a law that is coming
00:59:47 for justice, the tax justice.
00:59:50 This is really a place, thank you Mr. President,
00:59:53 this emotional act of social justice to recognize
00:59:57 our heroes that come carrying the criminal blockade
01:00:02 against Venezuela.
01:00:03 This is the whole national worker organism.
01:00:08 It's the thing that we've been discussing
01:00:11 with the Central Union of Workers
01:00:15 and also with the companies.
01:00:20 We've been open to move forward to that direction
01:00:23 because it's a justice for our pensioners
01:00:27 and that social income will be the expression
01:00:31 of all the wealth that is generated
01:00:33 in this economical growth that progressively
01:00:36 the Venezuelan people have been retrieving.
01:00:39 And it signifies one more step for the social justice
01:00:44 to distribute alongside and from every point
01:00:49 the social justice.
01:00:52 Our grandfathers and grandmothers,
01:00:55 that's the spirit of this law, to have justice
01:00:58 and us to have this law as an instrument
01:01:01 and as a tool for the social equality.
01:01:04 We've moved forward, President,
01:01:06 we're ready to go on Tuesday,
01:01:08 join to the National Assembly with your instructions
01:01:12 to the Parliament of Venezuela that is not under
01:01:15 the service of the last, but is in the service
01:01:19 of the Venezuelan people, move forward that direction.
01:01:23 A correction.
01:01:24 Well, this is a thing that we've been thinking
01:01:29 a long time ago because it is true that we need
01:01:33 to increase the income and when every economical sector
01:01:38 is growing, like by example, the exporting system
01:01:44 that we're already developing, the export sector,
01:01:50 system can be added of an other of income
01:01:55 to the national and to the workers income,
01:02:01 into the missions, into the healthcare.
01:02:06 I like to discuss everything with you
01:02:13 so everyone knows where we're standing
01:02:17 and where we're going and what we're doing,
01:02:19 the achievements and the step forward that we're making
01:02:22 and how we're going to win in every front,
01:02:26 how are we conquering and how we're going
01:02:28 to be conquering in every front
01:02:30 and the moral and the spiritual and economy and politics.
01:02:34 It's an integral battle, that's why we need
01:02:36 so much the blessings from God and I ask so much from God
01:02:41 in the hardest time, I say that's my mother,
01:02:44 in the hardest time in 2017, in 2020,
01:02:48 in the middle of the pandemic, in the economical war,
01:02:50 in the invasion attempt and I always say,
01:02:53 God will provide, God will provide, God will provide
01:02:58 and God will provide and God continues to give us blessings
01:03:03 and strength to move forward to the path
01:03:09 of integral recovery and I say a small correction,
01:03:14 first of all, today is Wednesday,
01:03:16 we don't have to wait for next Tuesday,
01:03:21 tomorrow, Thursday, I'm going to ask to the working class
01:03:25 to go with the vice president in a march to stick
01:03:28 into this tax justice project that is going to be the funds
01:03:33 for the big mission of the elderly.
01:03:35 Are you agreeing?
01:03:37 It's been approved.
01:03:39 (speaking in foreign language)
01:03:40 And second of all, I ask to the Dr. Jorge Rodriguez
01:03:44 and the deputies that are present of the working class here
01:03:48 and I ask of you to give a fast track to this law
01:03:53 so I can into distance in the next hours,
01:04:01 in the next days to be making a big march
01:04:07 for the elderly to sign this law,
01:04:10 to have this law working and income goes quicker
01:04:15 and to improve the lives of our pensioners.
01:04:20 Are you agreeing, Dulce, please?
01:04:23 Yes, president, I was saying that this law is going
01:04:26 to capture all the taxes of the employers
01:04:31 so have the big mission funds for the elderly
01:04:37 of the homeland as a mechanism to distribute the wealthy
01:04:42 in this economical growth process
01:04:46 where not only the productive sectors are participating
01:04:50 but directly and mainly the workers of Venezuela.
01:04:54 It is the justice and this is where you've been demanding
01:04:59 of us and through the dialogue mechanism that we maintain
01:05:04 with the company sectors of our country
01:05:07 and it's something that had a warm greeting to move forward.
01:05:15 I think, president, that the construction
01:05:18 of this new economical model diversified
01:05:22 has been getting to the country with a well greeting
01:05:27 and the first national consensus is the building
01:05:31 of a new economical model to the just redistribution
01:05:35 of the wealthy where the working class are the beneficiary

01:12:20 Workers from the health care, this is my message to you.
01:12:25 Pure love.
01:12:27 You take care of the pandemic times
01:12:36 and Venezuela had an exemplary model 2021, 2022.
01:12:42 The best against the pandemic model of the world
01:12:47 we had in Venezuela, giving birth,
01:12:51 making some innovations
01:12:57 because that's the spirit that's your gift to us,
01:13:05 the liberators among body,
01:13:08 but the big chief of our homeland
01:13:13 and other important personalities of our Latin America.
01:13:21 That's the legacy of our father,
01:13:24 of our master, Hugo Chavez Fria.
01:13:29 So always present, always alive among us
01:13:32 with his life, with his spirit, with his truth.
01:13:37 (crowd cheering)
01:13:39 Also, we have some good news
01:13:43 in the recreational fields, as the code says,
01:13:50 because we have also to understand
01:13:58 we have to be someday in the beach.
01:14:05 (speaking in foreign language)
01:14:07 The recreation, the leisure time
01:14:09 between the leisure and the revolution,
01:14:19 there is no contradiction.
01:14:31 And the workers recreational complex
01:14:34 is getting really beautiful
01:14:37 and it must taken as a model
01:14:39 to build more recreational complex of beaches,
01:14:44 of mountains, of countryside and all over the country
01:14:48 as less make a shame of a system,
01:14:52 a touristic system of the working class.
01:14:56 That's why we have the INCREC
01:14:58 and I get him back to the INCREC,
01:15:01 the vocational workers complex,
01:15:06 but with the commitment that we have to build
01:15:09 a productive ensurement in the beaches,
01:15:13 in the hills, in the mountains, in Canaima,
01:15:16 that the working class can know.
01:15:19 You would like to go to Canaima?
01:15:25 I have to confess something.
01:15:27 I've never been in Canaima.
01:15:28 I know the great Savannah because Selita and I
01:15:35 we've been there.
01:15:37 Greetings to the worker.
01:15:39 Microphones for the,
01:15:42 a greetings to the working class by Selita.
01:15:47 (crowd chanting)
01:15:53 (crowd chanting)
01:15:56 - Well, president, the first thing that I have to
01:16:06 congratulate today, this big mobilizations,
01:16:09 we are really emotional because of this.
01:16:13 We've been marching with the workers
01:16:16 and it was really impressive
01:16:18 because not only the amount of this flooded river
01:16:23 and the actitive of the workers in this march,
01:16:26 the joy, the consciousness that they had.
01:16:29 And I asked myself this, why?
01:16:34 Why so much emotions from the workers?
01:16:39 And I say to myself, what is going on
01:16:43 that the workers know that have a leader
01:16:45 that is one of them because the president,
01:16:49 Nicolás Maduro is a worker.
01:16:52 And so the workers always being protected
01:16:57 because of him by his president, by his leaders,
01:17:00 one of them.
01:17:01 And right now we're seeing as the president,
01:17:06 you're seeing as he's always thinking about,
01:17:12 it's his workers have been calling all of this statements
01:17:19 for the social protection of all of us.
01:17:22 And most of all, because of our elders,
01:17:25 our grandmothers and grandfathers, the pensioners.
01:17:28 And I believe that this is motivating us.
01:17:32 What we're seeing today in the streets,
01:17:35 not only here in Caracas, but on the whole country,
01:17:39 we're seeing mobilizations.
01:17:41 And this is what it brought us even more compromise
01:17:45 with the working class.
01:17:46 And the president, I'm sure of that,
01:17:49 that is going to continue protecting you forever to you.
01:17:53 And I will be alongside him and alongside with the workers.
01:17:57 We are workers.
01:18:01 We are one of you.
01:18:07 That's right.
01:18:10 (man speaking in foreign language)
01:18:14 So Lita bite himself because she's eating gum.
01:18:23 Right, we are one of you.
01:18:28 You can see the marsh again.
01:18:31 It is really impressive.
01:18:32 It is really impressive.
01:18:38 We were getting, look, Nicolas.
01:18:40 That's a very crazy dude, Nicolas.
01:18:43 That's Nicolas' pure love is the hope
01:18:46 because Nico is the love of the homeland.
01:18:50 I am all from you.
01:18:52 Where is Nico, it is the people.
01:18:58 It was really impressive.
01:19:01 Two hours to 34 degrees under the shade.
01:19:07 And Diosdado is trained because Diosdado
01:19:10 is marching all over the country.
01:19:12 And I was a little bit untrained,
01:19:15 but I hold on two hours there.
01:19:18 A little bit of everything, say hi to the neighbors
01:19:25 from the buildings that we were passing.
01:19:29 The biggest march of all, May 1st, 2024.
01:19:34 We will not forget you.
01:19:37 The greatest of all mobilizations, popular mobilizations.
01:19:41 And we're going to see how Caracas is going.
01:19:43 We have a video.
01:19:44 You have the video?
01:19:48 Go forward.
01:19:49 Renewed with pride and dedication
01:19:56 by President Nicolas Maduro,
01:19:59 this emblematic place in La Guaira
01:20:01 is an homage to the uncancellable labor of our workers.
01:20:06 We've been rehabilitated the 110 hectares
01:20:10 of our beloved complex,
01:20:12 improving 85% of its main installations.
01:20:16 The beautiful Pescado Beach is already set
01:20:21 to get thousands of visitors
01:20:24 that seek to enjoy the south and the sea.
01:20:27 But this project goes further.
01:20:29 Also, we've threatened the communities
01:20:31 that are surrounding them.
01:20:32 The local school and the hospital has been restored,
01:20:37 ensuring that the education and the healthcare
01:20:39 is accessible for all the neighbors.
01:20:42 It is a school that involves social development
01:20:46 and sustainable development.
01:20:47 It is a future school.
01:20:49 More than an improvement of infrastructure,
01:20:52 it's an initiative to celebrate and honor
01:20:55 the effort of our workers in the construction of the homeland
01:20:59 and reaffirms our commitment
01:21:01 with the welfare of the people.
01:21:03 Thank you.
01:21:04 Thanks to the Bolivarian government support,
01:21:07 Los Caracas reborn as a space of leisure and joy
01:21:12 for the workers' family in a place
01:21:14 where every visit renews the spirit
01:21:17 and strengthens the family union.
01:21:20 There are some people that go along and ask me,
01:21:23 "But is it going to be this private?"
01:21:26 No, but this is going to be probably.
01:21:28 We need a lot of people coming here.
01:21:31 The biggest transformation born from the homeland love.
01:21:34 Come and rediscover the Caracas.
01:21:36 We move in an integral piece in employment and income,
01:21:44 food, households, health, education,
01:21:51 and leisure and recreation
01:21:55 because a good part of the mental health
01:21:58 is the possibility to rest,
01:22:01 to share with your loved ones,
01:22:03 with your opponents and your husbands and wives,
01:22:09 your boyfriend or girlfriend,
01:22:11 your sons and daughters, your friends.
01:22:15 Us, when we were there in the subway union
01:22:20 with the saving box,
01:22:22 we were making up some things
01:22:25 and we'll go to Moshimans two days.
01:22:28 And we were having a good time there.
01:22:33 Some of us could overuse the spicy
01:22:39 because they were very excited,
01:22:43 but they were enjoying that.
01:22:46 And I gave an order to the Tourism National Institute
01:22:52 to proceed to the Homeland System
01:22:55 to give the worker options to go to Morocco,
01:23:01 Moshima, Margarita, Los Roque,
01:23:05 La Urchila,
01:23:07 the Merida Towsford,
01:23:17 et cetera.
01:23:23 Dulce, you can tell me some things about this
01:23:26 in a really quick.
01:23:27 Yes, President, the subjects we've been reviewing
01:23:34 with the Union Central and Venator
01:23:36 and all the whole system
01:23:38 is going to be incorporated in the whole system
01:23:42 and thus funded directly for the Homeland System
01:23:47 is going to be financed with payments
01:23:50 accessible to the workers through the ministries.
01:23:53 We can do a planifications
01:23:55 and they can enjoy the holidays with coordination.
01:24:00 Can you realize this?
01:24:08 That step by step,
01:24:11 we're going to make an integral improvement
01:24:15 and we're going to be better and more.
01:24:18 You can realize this?
01:24:20 (audience applauding)
01:24:24 So many things.
01:24:25 He says, "Nicolas, you are a strong leader."

01:25:37 You can tell me to my ear what you say before.
01:25:40 I cannot tell you what he told me.
01:25:43 Alexis, I met him in 1976, Alexis Corredor.
01:25:50 He was a very big revolutionary leader.
01:25:53 Alexis was as a founder of the Communities
01:25:57 for the Unity of the People, founded by Ali Primera.
01:26:01 He was one of the first founders of the CUP.
01:26:05 He was a young man by then.
01:26:13 He says that we were, but I am still a young man.
01:26:20 But let's talk about why we came here.
01:26:23 We came to receive the signature from all of you
01:26:26 and to all of the workers of the country
01:26:31 from the construction of healthcare
01:26:33 and education and transportation.

01:26:46 and saying to Joe Biden,
01:26:48 "Biden, lift sanctions now.
01:26:53 "Biden, repeat after me please.
01:26:59 "Biden, lift the sanctions now."
01:27:08 I'm saying in Spanish and in English.
01:27:10 What do you say Anais?
01:27:17 Anais Herrera.
01:27:19 (speaking in foreign language)
01:27:20 Where are you from Anais?
01:27:21 I'm from Maragua State.
01:27:22 I am a union leader, part of the Socialist Central Union
01:27:28 of Workers, President, worker, Nicolás Maduro.
01:27:33 For us, the workers, it's an honor to speak to you today,
01:27:38 May 1st, on the International Workers' Day
01:27:42 and to send the message that you're a man of barefoot
01:27:46 from the people, you're the hope in the streets,
01:27:50 you are the spokesman of the social leaders
01:27:52 of every community in the country.
01:27:54 And we're saying to the world, President, worker,
01:27:57 Nicolás Maduro, that we are here, the workers,
01:28:00 that we are here with you, President,
01:28:04 and protecting the legacy of our commander,
01:28:08 Hugo Chávez Frías, is the homeland of Chávez and Bolívar
01:28:11 and the working class is at your command, President.
01:28:16 To receive your orientations and that you can count
01:28:21 with all men and women of Venezuela,
01:28:23 and we're saying to the world that is the people
01:28:26 of the barefoot, is the communal power
01:28:29 that is on the streets every single day,
01:28:32 touching those in the social industrial,
01:28:35 and that with the declaration that you gave
01:28:37 just a minutes ago, there is no need that you just,
01:28:40 that I say that, but you already say that we are hard leaders
01:28:46 standing with our president, Nicolás Maduro.
01:28:49 Long life to the homeland, long life Chávez,
01:28:55 long life the workers of Venezuela,
01:28:58 that the world knows it.
01:29:01 Biden, we don't want dissensions
01:29:03 because we are the sons and daughters of Chávez.
01:29:06 We are organized and mobilized,
01:29:08 and the things that is not organized cannot be mobilized,
01:29:12 but we did mobilize ourselves,
01:29:14 and we were marching to support our people
01:29:17 in the legacy of the commander Chávez,
01:29:19 and that's you yourself, President Maduro.
01:29:23 Do you speak English?
01:29:24 But let's say this to Biden,
01:29:27 Biden, lift sanctions.
01:29:30 Ready, set.
01:29:35 How are the signatures going, Will?
01:29:38 Tell me about that.
01:29:40 Well, President, first of all, I want to say
01:29:44 hi to you and your first meeting by the vice president,
01:29:49 and shout out to the workers, to our president.
01:29:56 Well, President, I want to say to all of you present,
01:30:04 because when we say to you in 2023,
01:30:12 with these proposals that you have a reality to the workers,
01:30:16 we make a debate out of this,
01:30:18 and I want you to know, and my comrades can stand by me,
01:30:23 that even if you couldn't have done this by dissensions,
01:30:28 because we are aware of the sanctions and the far right,
01:30:32 and most of all, the oil workers,
01:30:36 that we know the bitterness of the sanctions.
01:30:38 We are aware, President, and we go into the streets
01:30:41 because we trust you.
01:30:43 We are wildly trusting you,
01:30:46 and when yesterday I was giving some words,
01:30:50 and these widows of the far right
01:30:53 saying that we couldn't have hopes
01:30:56 because we didn't have anything to celebrate,
01:30:59 I didn't have the opportunity to answer this,
01:31:04 but the comrade, Iglesia Sanchez, say,
01:31:07 they don't have nothing to celebrate
01:31:10 because they won't never have anything to celebrate
01:31:14 because they won't have any working class
01:31:16 bowing towards them.
01:31:19 The far right will never have a working class
01:31:21 because it's not possible.
01:31:23 It will be against the nature
01:31:25 if all will be standing in their own side of history,
01:31:29 and that's why, President, we want to say
01:31:31 that you can trust wildly in your working class
01:31:35 and all of us that we're outside also,
01:31:38 and the ones that they wouldn't be here
01:31:41 and that were in the cities,
01:31:43 and we are in communication with them.
01:31:45 You're the president of the working class.
01:31:47 You can say proudly that you're a worker,
01:31:50 and you know what the oil worker says,
01:31:53 that the only license that cares to us is your license,
01:31:59 your driver's license,
01:32:04 because that's the only thing that we care about
01:32:06 because us, president from the Bolivarian Union,
01:32:10 we are against the sanctions and towards the socialism,
01:32:13 and you're our hope.
01:32:15 Against the sanctions and towards the socialism,
01:32:18 you're the hope, and the hope is on the streets.
01:32:22 I will give my signatures.
01:32:23 Where are they to see the box?
01:32:26 Minister, you can come closer.
01:32:33 We, on April 19th, we initiated the process
01:32:37 as you command us,
01:32:38 and I want to tell you that the sectus on April 19th
01:32:42 was the assembly with the oil workers,
01:32:46 and you command that the April 19th,
01:32:49 we had assembly for the independency,
01:32:52 and the same day of the 19th of April,

01:33:12 from the oil chemistry, oil and gas workers,
01:33:16 and I thank you, PDVSA,
01:33:18 and we will get the signatures in a national level.
01:33:20 I want to say also, Mr. President,
01:33:22 that the Bolivarian Union,
01:33:25 we are given already instructions in this process,
01:33:29 and we're doing it in the whole country,
01:33:31 even in the small communities.
01:33:33 We say that, and I say that we are the workers' power,
01:33:40 the perfect union of the communities,
01:33:44 the working class, the countryside men, the fishermen.
01:33:47 We also have comrades from the 25 state,
01:33:53 the Guayana-Zuquiba state,
01:33:57 some comrades, neighbors of their fishermen
01:34:02 and countryside men,
01:34:03 but we also are eager,
01:34:07 and I take the opportunity to have here with Pedro Rafael,
01:34:11 and once for all to go through the PDVSA's equipment.
01:34:15 It is necessary to all of us here
01:34:18 through the councils of workers
01:34:21 to consolidate this bunker
01:34:25 that was born from the deepest of our souls, workers.
01:34:30 We need in the presence of the Bolivarian comrade
01:34:37 and the ministers and all the executive team
01:34:40 allowed us to consolidate this bunker
01:34:43 because it's the way to do more with less,
01:34:46 and we have a lot of experience.
01:34:48 And before this license that the empire
01:34:51 has made up against the oil in Venezuela,
01:34:54 well, we have a bunker
01:34:55 that are the productive councils of workers resident.
01:34:59 Thank you very much.
01:35:00 Comrade, we have to keep continuing
01:35:08 to get with our own technology,
01:35:11 the professional capacity,
01:35:13 experiences from the workers with own investment.
01:35:22 And when an investment that despite of the centuries
01:35:25 of the 19th of April that was asked for the far right
01:35:29 are coming, I say that before,
01:35:34 and I reiterate today that in this three weeks,
01:35:37 last weeks of April, it was signed,
01:35:40 so you know, 20 contracts to new oil sectors
01:35:45 of investment, international investment
01:35:50 from all over the world.
01:35:52 Those investments are going to be felt
01:35:56 in the second semester of the year
01:35:59 that the things are getting there.
01:36:01 We don't have to say a lot about that.
01:36:04 The best way to say is to do, we'll say Jose Marti.
01:36:10 So we have goals, modest goals of the oil growth
01:36:17 1,200,000 barrels, but we'll can be having very good news
01:36:22 for the second semester.
01:36:25 And I trust in the productive force
01:36:28 that will warranty the growth of our country
01:36:32 in the second semester and the years to come
01:36:35 from all of you workers.
01:36:37 I trust you, Teresita.
01:36:42 Well, president, as a class worker with my brothers
01:36:47 and sisters from the greatest industry,
01:36:50 PDVSA, oil chemistry, the health care system,
01:36:54 we have all the working class of the country.
01:36:59 I can say that with transparency, with rectitude,
01:37:03 with morals, we won't be accepting any kind of sanctions.
01:37:08 For PDVSA from today, there is no sanctions.
01:37:12 In our vocabulary, we're going to delete that.
01:37:15 I can say my commander that we are above 9,000 barrels.
01:37:20 We're going to continue with the moral from the workers
01:37:25 to get even more every day, drop by drop,
01:37:30 increasing the economical growth of Venezuela,
01:37:33 because here we're putting in stake the future
01:37:36 of our sons and daughters, our grandfathers
01:37:39 and grandmothers and our brothers and sisters.
01:37:41 And we're going to achieve the 1,000%.
01:37:44 If we have an obstacle, we will find new solutions
01:37:48 to keep the growth.
01:37:49 With our teamwork, teamwork is a sure win.
01:37:54 Long live to Venezuela.
01:37:57 Long live to the working class.
