00:00And a massive citizen mobilization took place in Caracas under the slogan,
00:04Let's win peace, let's defend life.
00:06Hundreds of priests to express a unified message in defense of national sovereignty
00:10and reject interference.
00:12A correspondent, Andrea Romero, with the details.
00:16On the route from the Petare parish to the United Nations headquarters in the Venezuelan capital,
00:22participants carried flags and banners referring to peace and self-determination,
00:26delivering a clear message to the international community.
00:30The response of the Venezuelan people to imperial threats is emphatic,
00:40assuring that the defense of the nation will be total in the face of any attempt at occupation or invasion.
00:48The United States Empire is a threat to us.
00:53Trump is saying that we are going to be conquered by him,
00:56that he is going to come in here, and well, whoever comes in here is not going to leave,
01:00because that is how we are going to defend our country.
01:04The mobilization also promoted a message that contrasted confrontation with a call for brotherhood and love,
01:11as a form of moral resistance in the face of the blockade, and international pressure.
01:14We are pure love, love, love, love, we say to the oligarchs,
01:23while you throw blockades at us, you declare war on us,
01:26we send you flowers because we are a people of love.
01:32Venezuela is a nation that exercises its right to peace and,
01:37at the same time, is a guarantor of its own principles.
01:42We are supporting our country because we need peace,
01:44we are a peaceful people guardians of peace,
01:47and we are supporting countries that need support,
01:49and we are here marching for peace.
01:55Government officials present at the march highlighted the active and organized role of the population in protecting the country.
02:00We are precisely sending our message, which is a message for peace.
02:07I believe that our people have been preparing and training themselves,
02:11organizing with the armed forces to defend our territory.
02:14And today as a people, as a family, we have also taken to the streets
02:18because I believe that our main message is peace.
02:23With this demonstration of popular strength,
02:27Venezuela continues its offensive with unity and commitment.
02:29Desde Caracas, en la Cámara de Marcos Da Silva, para Telesur, Andrea Romero.
