00:00 And precisely today, July 24, TELUSUR turns 18 years, taking a stand for the voiceless
00:20 peoples, bringing forward the truth of Latin America and being the counterpart of the hegemonic
00:25 narratives.
00:26 On July 24, 2005, Hugo Chávez's dream came true, the creation of TELUSUR, the new television
00:33 of the South, currently a multimedia that exposes the voices of the peoples, social
00:38 movements and political forces that fight for justice and against oppression.
00:43 TELUSUR emerged as a counter-hegemonic and decolonizing South American television project
00:48 from the media point of view, different from the traditional spaces that respond to capitalist
00:53 interests and had the support of the governments of Cuba, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Nicaragua
01:00 and Venezuela.
01:01 For 18 years, TELUSUR's agenda has focused on addressing the issues of Latin American
01:06 integration, covering events that did not find space in other media or showing them
01:11 from the struggles of social movements, popular sectors, leftist parties, the rights of the
01:16 indigenous peoples, among other aspects.
