01:46Last Saturday, we had said that we had 10,800 troops beside all the normal protection that we provide to the oil industry.
02:10All of the protection that we give to the electric grid system and all the electric infrastructure of the nation.
02:23Our commander in chief Maduro has ordered a larger deployment of 15,000 troops.
02:32We have more troops in the bi-state area of Zulia and Tachira.
02:44Therefore, we will have more troops from the Bolivarian National Armed Forces plus militia members deployed in this area.
02:58This bi-national number one area.
03:05The Venezuelan Defense Minister, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, gave an assessment of the operations of the Bolivar National Armed Forces,
03:12to emphasize the importance of maintaining a constant plan in the fight against drug trafficking.
03:17This week, we have over 55,000 kilograms of drugs that have been seized by our forces, which is more than last week.
03:34As we occupy the territory, we are making more progress.
03:39If we want to end this drug business, we cannot do that through Tomahawk missiles.
03:49Military force will not end that.
03:54We can only finish this with coherent programs.
03:59The Progressive International Cabinet has issued a statement entitled No War on Venezuela.
04:05The statement reads,
04:06We unequivocally condemn the escalation of U.S. military aggression against Venezuela
04:10under the guise of countering threats from narco-terrorist organizations,
04:14and we call to stand against U.S. military intervention and the emboldened Monroe Doctrine behind it.
04:19This is a return to imperial gunboat diplomacy, and dramatic escalation in the ongoing hybrid war against the Bolivar Revolution
04:27after having tried candlestine operations, assaults by mercenary groups, assassination attempts, attempted coups,
04:33diplomatic isolation, open threats of military intervention, and suffocating economic sanctions.
04:39This renewed war on drugs is part of a longstanding assault against Venezuela over control of its resources and hemispheric domination.
04:47A sovereign South America stands in the way of the Monroe Doctrine's full realization.
04:54And the Venezuelan people went to the streets again on Saturday throughout the national territory
05:01to participate in the fourth day of military enlistment called by President Nicolas Maduro

05:18accompanied by regional leaders, military authorities, and community organizations.
05:22The activity is being held under the slogan, Venezuela is not a threat, it is hope,
05:27to express a firm rejection of foreign threats and U.S.-driven destabilization attempts.
05:31The country's combat forces joined this new day of military enlistment,
05:35reaffirming their commitment to peace, security, and the well-being of the country.
