00:00In Venezuela, the newly elected governor to the Guayanes-Equiva state, Neel Villamizar,

00:05was sworn in on Thursday for the period 2025-2029.

00:09In a ceremony presided by President Vdelsi Rodríguez,

00:13the members of the Legislative Council of the state carried out the sworn-in process

00:18as established by the Venezuelan constitution.

00:21During the act, Governor Villamizar emphasized that this is a historic moment for the Guayanes-Equiva,

00:27a special moment for the country, and confirmed that the Ezequiva belongs to Venezuela.

00:32Villamizar highlighted the implementation of the Ezequiva 7T program,

00:36adapted to the needs of the territory with a strong popular focus.

00:41Furthermore, the governor emphasized that his administration will focus on miners,

00:45producers, entrepreneurs, and the indigenous people, which represent 90% of the state's population.

00:57The Guayana-Equiva is a national feeling, the Ezequivo is ours, long live the Guayana-Equiva,

01:06it is a historic day for the homeland, we are living what I call the times of recovery of our Guayana, Ezequiva.

01:13The governor of Guayana-Equiva also highlighted his commitment to solve the state's territorial controversy.

01:23The commitment to carry out all the necessary actions to create that series of conditions

01:29that will allow us to promote the solution to the controversy in the first place.

01:35This controversy that must be solved according to the popular mandate, also in this referendum,

01:42must be solved within the framework of the provisions of the Geneva Convention of 1966,

01:49and also, now, a strategy to bring this attention to all our people, to our people of Ezequivo.

01:57During the solemn-serving ceremony, the executive vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez,

02:05reaffirmed that the political status of the Guayana-Equiva had been born.

02:12At this moment, we are writing history.

02:16The political status of our Guayana-Equiva has been born.

02:21We have a card that gives us the right to live and act in a territory that belongs to us.

02:26No one has any doubt.

02:29There are two historical truths.

02:31The first one is that when we were born, as a republic, we already had this territory.

02:36We already had it, with a tittle, with legitimate rights.

02:41And the second great truth was the robbery and plunder committed by the English.

02:46In another part of our speech, Rodriguez stressed the political and diplomatic mechanisms established

02:55by the Geneva Agreement to settle issues regarding the Guayana-Equiva.

02:59You know, as our governor said, the controversy over the territory of the Guayana-Equiva has

03:10only one legal, diplomatic and political course, which is the Geneva Agreement of 1966.

03:17In that agreement it is recognized that there was a dispossession, in that agreement it is

03:23recognized that there is a controversy that must be settled, the injustice committed against

03:28Venezuela is recognized, and it is clearly established that the mechanism for negotiation

03:33negotiation is the political and diplomatic way.
