00:00In Venezuela, the borders are closed until Monday, July 28, at 6 a.m. local time,
00:05due to the municipal elections to be held this Sunday, July 27.
00:10Everything is ready for this election process, in which 335 mayors and counselors will be elected,
00:16as well as youth projects in the communities.
00:19Let's see the report with our colleague, Madeleine Garcia.
00:24This border crossing between Colombia and Venezuela via the Simón Bolívar Bridge with Conex,
00:28San Antonio de Tachira with Cucuta in Northern Santander is now closed, as are the other borders.
00:37Venezuela will hold its 33rd election on Sunday, July 27,
00:41where nearly 21.530.000 Venezuelans will elect 2.806 corporately representatives.
00:51We tell the world that here we show that we are a Venezuela full of peace and freedom,
00:56and that everything is a democracy.
01:01The people truly rule.
01:04There is no cheating, and everything is done with love.
01:081,400 national and international observers will be witnesses to a new democratic celebration
01:14and are deployed throughout the national territory.
01:19A delegation visited the place where the National Electoral Council stores the voting machines.
01:26Technicians explain to international observers step by step how the process is protected to guarantee the vote.
01:32You have been monitoring the electoral process since 2008.
01:39As you have seen, the system has changed.
01:42Let's keep in mind that they started with 6 audits and ended up with 17.
01:47There is no electoral process in all of Latin America, the Caribbean,
01:52and much of the world that I know of that has the audit guarantees that the Venezuelan electoral system has,
01:57and they keep adding one more, and we are no longer surprised.
02:03The new feature of this process is the youth popular consultation with BB Health at the same time
02:08as the election of 335 mayors and 2,471 consulers.
02:13The youth submitted over 37,000 projects.
02:17We would like to highlight the simultaneous celebration of the youth consultation,
02:25in which our young people will choose projects for the development of their communities.
02:34Venezuelans aged 15 and over will be able to participate.
02:38El presidente Nicolás Maduro llamó a votar.
02:41President Nicolás Maduro called for vote and on that day the far right wing will be left behind.
02:46Venezuela closes the cycle of renewal of elected offices and the next election will be in four years.
02:56I hope they remove their mayor and show that they have leadership,
03:01that their leadership is not the old politic, the old devils, old men, and old women who are 26 years old,
03:09failing, and have led you from failure to failure, from lie to lie, defeating you in defeat while we continue to attend to every situation,
03:20working and seriously building a historical force like the one we have today.
03:25because the strength of the revolution is an impeccable historical force with a people-based foundation.
03:34I say this to all visitors because not only do people come from the United States,
03:39people come from other places.
03:42I tell you go to any community, go right now, go out to any community,
03:46and separate and talk to the people so you can see how this people has organized itself.
03:51The election process will begin at 6 a.m. local time.
03:57The armed forces and all security forces are deployed to ensure the peace.
