00:00And now we go live to our special envoy, Yunus Oner, in Caracas to bring us the latest from

00:05the new special anti-blocking law from a working class announced by the president and presidential

00:10candidate from the Great Patriotic Polo, Nicolás Maduro.

00:13Vice Maduro promised to construct three million houses and also the National Assembly approves

00:20a law to facilitate non-OLEC exports.

00:24Hi, Yunus, welcome.

00:27Tell us more about it.

00:28Hello, good afternoon from here, Ana.

00:32This has been really an important meeting that the president and the candidate has held

00:36today in the Estadio Monumental Simón Bolívar here in Caracas, a baseball stadium that was

00:43filled with thousands of workers.

00:46And he proposed here to introduce a new special anti-blockade law for the working class.

00:55And that includes first and utmost the construction of 3 million new houses for the working class

01:02in addition to the approximately 5 million that have been built in the recent years.

01:09So this would be a serious construction effort to provide the working class with cheap and

01:15accurate housing, updated housing.

01:18But he made also further promises, proposals.

01:22One of them was to create a new digital bank for the working class, for workers, to replace

01:29the existing bank.

01:31And why is that a useful purpose, proposal?

01:35Because he said this way the working class, if it wants to start a kind of small company

01:42or so, it can get easier credit.

01:44And also a third point he mentioned was to establish a new digital family health system.

01:51He said that the PDVSA company, the oil company, state-owned oil company, has been working

01:57effectively with that system already.

02:00And he announced that if this law is approved, this system would be widened to cover the

02:06entire working class of Venezuela.

02:09Speaking of laws, the National Assembly today approved a law that has been in the legislative

02:15process.

02:16This is the law to promote non-oil exports.

02:20Essentially, it will make it easier for Venezuelan producers to export their products easier

02:27with less bureaucracy in a faster procedure.

02:30Now, as I said, this concerns the non-oil sectors.

02:34So we know that, for instance, the manufacturing industry, as well as the agriculture, the

02:40fishing industry, maritime products are producing more and more.

02:44So they are keen to export their products.

02:47And this law makes it easier for the companies and for the producers to export their products,

02:53as well as for others who would like to import from Venezuela, easier to access the Venezuelan

03:00production market.

03:02And this comes in the context of the seven T, the seven transformations.

03:07One of them is, to remember our viewers, to diversify the exportation sector of Venezuela,

03:13to make it less dependent on oil only, and to promote the export of other products, such

03:20as, as I mentioned, manufacturing or agriculture, where recent reports show that there's a surge

03:26in agricultural production and there might be soon a surplus that Venezuela might want

03:32to export to other neighboring countries or countries farther away.

03:36And we know that, for instance, products such as cacao and coffee, the Venezuelan cacao

03:40and coffee, are well wanted elsewhere.

03:44And as a, usually, Turkey correspondent of TELESUR, I can confirm that the Venezuelan

03:51coffee meets a high demand in Turkey as well.

03:56Thank you very much, Yunus, for your remarks.
