00:00National Armed Forces of Venezuela denounced on Thursday the presence of U.S. fighter jets

00:06near the country's coastline. The complaint was made by the Minister of Defense Vladimir

00:11Padrino Lopez during an evaluation of the ongoing military drills aimed at the security and defense

00:17of the nation. Padrino Lopez said that the aircraft were detected by the integrated defense

00:23system within the Maiketia flight information region. The incidence adds to the recent tensions

00:29in the region and the Venezuelan military high command's concern about the external military

00:34threat and the presence of ships in Caribbean waters.

00:46I have seen, we have detected the integrated air defense system of Venezuela here within the

00:54Maiketia fur region, of the Maiketia flight information region, more than five vectors,

01:01we have detected them. Five vectors with flight characteristics of 400 knots, and flying at an

01:13altitude of 35,000 feet. What does that indicate, dear people of Venezuela? They are fighter aircraft,

01:21fighter aircraft. The North American imperialism has dared to approach the Venezuelan coasts,

01:33the Venezuelan coasts, and this was even checked and verified by information that an international

01:40airline gave here to the Maiketia control tower. The airline also reported that it had seen the

01:48presence of fighter aircraft. And Padrino Lopez also assured that the Bolivarian National Armed Forces

01:56maintain a daily and permanent surveillance in the face of these U.S. threats.

02:06Permanent offensive, always taking the initiative without losing sight of it. If the initiative is lost,

02:14the offensive is lost, and if the offensive is lost, we go on the defensive. In other words,

02:23we are not assuming a defensive position here, but rather a patriotic stance moving, always forward,

02:31every day, with consistent strategies to defend our beloved homeland, especially in these circumstances

02:39when the U.S. Empire rises up there and deploys its warships and aircraft in the Caribbean Sea.

02:50And we continue on topic because in Venezuela, 94 percent of the population rejects the United States'

02:57military aggression against the country and demand the respect of its sovereignty. The Data Viva

03:03polling agency revealed that Venezuelans have a broad consensus in defending sovereignty and seeking

03:08solutions through dialogue. In addition, the study indicates that 88 percent of the respondents agree

03:15with the letter sent by President Nicolás Maduro to the United States government proposing a dialogue

03:21based on mutual respect. The polls also confirmed a clear trend toward national unity, the rejection of foreign

03:28interference and strengthening of domestic mechanisms for protecting sovereignty.
