00:00Vice President Delsi Rodriguez arrived at the National Assembly with good news.
00:06In spite of the illegal blockade by the United States, Venezuela's economy grew in 2024
00:12and will continue its upward curve by 2025.
00:17The ECLOC had projected a 5% growth for the year 2024 and 8.5% is the GDP growth for the
00:24first three quarters of 2024.
00:33The International Monetary Fund remained timid as always and we can already affirm that 14
00:39consecutive quarters of economic growth have been achieved in Venezuela.
00:49Why is it important to highlight it?
00:51Because unlike other countries, Venezuela is the rude victim of a siege, of an unprecedented
00:57economic aggression.
01:06Growth was expressed not only in Venezuela, but also in Latin America.
01:14And so we see that Venezuela will grow more than Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador,
01:20Peru and Uruguay according to ECLOC projections for the year 2025.
01:32Venezuela will once again be among the countries that grow the most in the region.
01:36You know that our opinionators of course, difficulties of course, vulnerabilities of
01:39course, a country under siege as Venezuela is under siege of course, but also what a
01:45great victorious resistance that our economy has had, mainly by its people.
01:55The presentation of the budget of about $23 billion for 2025, almost 80% of which will
02:01be destined to social issues, is the triumph not only of the economic aspect, but also
02:06of peace, which will be defended against the plans of the Venezuelan ultra right wing that
02:10are being dismantled.
02:15We have to tell those extremists to their face, there is a national union in the defense
02:19of Venezuela.
02:20So do not dare, do not dare because this people is tired of them, of those who have falsely
02:25assumed the condition to speak in a derogatory and denigrating way about Venezuelan women.
02:40And to that extremist lady with terrorist plans against the electrical system, against
02:44the gas distribution system, we say that we Venezuelan women are here, that we Bolivarian
02:50women are here to defend this homeland.
02:57The special emphasis of the resources will be directed to the communal power.
03:03A healthy, self-sustainable economy with an emphasis on our people, and with special attention
03:09to the people's power, that is the mandate you have as deputies.
03:18The democratic opposition wants peace.
03:20Nothing matters more to us than peace.
03:23The democratic opposition rejects the use of violence in politics.
03:27It energetically repudiates foreign sanctions.
03:36The democratic opposition is committed to the best future for Venezuela, a future of
03:40generalized prosperity, so that peace, democracy and well-being for all may be the sign of
03:462025.
03:54In our most enthusiastic endeavor, the economy tied to social issues is the key.
04:01A survey reveals that 60% of the private sector perceives that the economic situation
04:09will improve in a year.
04:11The National Assembly approved in first discussion the two bills requested by the Vice President.
