00:58Our gallo pinto, Nicolás Maduro, who is going to win again this time?

01:02Well, here we are in the area of Sarria, a very popular area of Caracas and probably

01:06from here.

01:07Here, we are going to demonstrate many typical dances and invite everyone to come and participate.

01:12The gallo pinto is an expression that has been popularized in phrases, songs and symbols

01:17represented the candidate in defiance of imperialism and sanctions.

01:23This was a work that was done jointly with the people in charge of culture in the party,

01:27plus the cabinet of culture of Candelaria.

01:30We all worked together to support our president and well, what we came up with was to make

01:35this rooster and show the world that our roosters are here.

01:39All marches are called against the US interference and sanctions.

01:43One of the main stumbling blocks to public and private development in recent years.

01:48We, in all the marches that we have taken part in, we are mainly asking the empire to

01:56stop the sanctions and the blockade.

01:58Nevertheless, we continue with the sanctions and the blockade and we continue to move forward.

02:03We are building with our own bare hands.

02:08They have bet on taking away what is ours and they, anyway, they are using, since they

02:13can't use the democratic way, since they can't remove president Nicolás Maduro through democratic

02:18means.

02:19So, well, they are looking for a way to take away our property.

02:23They are blocking us.

02:24They are taking everything, but just the same, we the people are stiff and we have endured

02:30years of sanctions.

02:33President Maduro continues his tour across different regions of the country, disseminating

02:37the government program, delivering rewards and committing to new projects for the next

02:42few years of his administration.
