00:01Now join us as we go live to Venezuela.
00:03President Nicolás Maduro is offering statements.
00:06Let's listen.
00:09Six million of Colombians here.
00:12So Colombia and Venezuela, we are obliged to be united,
00:17to march together towards the independence of the continent
00:22and to rebuild the basis of what was the great republic,
00:27the great Colombia founded by Boribar in Villaronoco.
00:31The day will come in which our countries will speak
00:37with the voice of a united people, as was said by Ali in that song.
00:48You know, right?
00:50And it will come the day in which our continent will speak
00:55with the voice of a united people dedicated to Allende.
01:00And it will be a day in which Colombia and Venezuela
01:03will never again be perturbed by the imperial intrigue
01:08and the lies and the divisionist lies, the greedy and ambitious lies
01:13of the oligarchy, of the drug trafficking oligarchy of Colombia
01:18which inspires against Venezuela and against the union.
01:23So the working class needs to have its economical plan.
01:29The same way we created Delcy, Delcy Elohina Rodriguez Gomez,
01:39the dean of the economy, the same way we created an international committee
01:45that has started very well for all of the work of spreading the work of this process
01:51and looks for international solidarity in that same way we have to create.
01:56Immediately, Delcy, I give to you the task of creating a commission
02:01of economic development integral of the 13 Indians of the working class in the past
02:08to the Constitutional Congress of the 14th, 15th, and 16th of December.
02:14The economy. The economy. The economy.
02:20And who can know more about economy than those who create wealth?
02:25Or do I lie? Do I lie?
02:31Who can know more about economy than us, the workers?
02:36If a working president that has been hit with everything,
02:41that they have done every single type of economical war,
02:45I am ready, I said, to resist, to combat.
02:50And we have accomplished to push forward a new economical model
02:57that will give the country each time more stability, more growth,
03:03and fulfilling it 100%.
03:06And what still needs to be done, only we know how to do it,
03:13and now with this economical commission of the working class,
03:16we are not going to be stopped by anything or anyone.
03:21We are going to go forward in growing and overcoming any problem
03:28that is derived from that economical war.
03:30It is a very good idea, happy idea, that I received them.
03:34From who?
03:40You.
03:41From you.
03:43I received from you.
03:50That course I received in the academy, the English academy.
03:59It is a very fast way of learning.
04:09That who understood, understood so.
04:14It is a central subject to know that the constitutional process
04:21of the working class is liberating forces that were contained
04:26and that have been maturing in these 10 and 15 years.
04:32There's new forces, new ideas, new leaderships that we have to prepare them
04:43and facilitate the path for them to take the direction of the Venezuelan society,
04:50of the Venezuelan politics, and of the life in general of our country.
04:56If a worker like you, the university students, if a worker is capable of taking a gun or missile launcher
05:13and go to the training camps for 15 days and train themselves and say,
05:19I am willing to give my life for my homeland and my family.
05:23That worker, that militia man, that militia woman is prepared to have the handles of this country
05:34and say, here in Venezuela the working class is the one that rules.
05:40The power, the power, the power, and I say to you as I remembered as a militant that I am,
05:57if you ask me, what am I, I am a militant of the cause of the people, a militant that learns every day,
06:14and a militant that only has one aspiration, the development of this homeland,
06:20that this homeland to be respected by the world, that it's never humiliated by anyone, by no empire,
06:29and for us to have the economical power, the scientific, the cultural, educational,
06:35and technological powers as well to continue moving forward with our own efforts.
06:41I told it to the scientists, men and women, two days ago.
06:48I told it to the communal men and women yesterday because our scientists are a wonderful thing.
06:5667,000 scientists, 757,000 children and young men and women in these schools,
07:09and the scientific seedbed, what we are doing goes behind eyesight.
07:17And I told them that they create solutions every day for a thousand things that you can't even imagine.
07:26Sometimes one doesn't even know because we do not communicate everything we do.
07:32They created a special vector with some plants that you put them in water,
07:37and the plant sterilizes, if it can be said like that.
07:44The mosquitoes that transmit chikungunya dengue and other diseases,
07:50we have managed to lower the 30% of the numbers of dengue in the rain seasons that we have.
07:59It is not that those diseases that come from the bite of mosquitoes increase.
08:06On the contrary, it went down on a 30% and that was created by the brilliant minds of Venezuelan scientists.
08:14But I told them the next thing, and I will tell you because you are the working men and women,
08:22and workers are technologists, inventors, scientists, the people that don't care about the machines that don't arrive.
08:33They fix it and they keep working.
08:40In the case that an X card is not sold to us in the world because we are blocked, they say.
08:45You can go to this person with these cards.
08:50An X person looks at the cards, fixes, and turns the card back and the card starts working as well in the machine.
09:04Right.
09:05And then they say to yourself, don't you do that every day.
09:14So the economy continues growing.
09:17And I said to the scientists what I say to you, working class, innovative, technological, scientific, and inventive.
09:30Let's learn in the world everything from everyone very well.
09:39We believe in Venezuela.
09:42Let's create in Venezuela everything that we need with our own technology.
09:46And let's never, ever depend again on anyone in this world.
09:52The world independence, total independence, absolute independence in the effort in technology, in the machinery, in the equipment, in knowledge.
10:06As it was said by Francisco de Miranda, our precursor, independent or nothing.
10:17So the Economical Commission has to have a lot of science, of technology.
10:25The CPTs, the councils, the productive councils of workers, men and women, has to have a very important role there.
10:37Because we have to start organizing the new structure.
10:42The same way that the National Armed Forces and our Commander Chavez and then the Commander Nicolás Maduro Moros, the son of Chavez.
10:57Because in the same path we created a new military doctrine, a new structure of deployment and of combat.
11:09And also the National Armed Forces.
11:11It is a force, a National Armed Forces that is also Bolivarian.
11:16The force that comes from this constitutional working class hurricane needs to be organizing in the new battalions.
11:25To name it in a military language.
11:29In the new ways of organization.
11:31Which are the new ways of organizing in the armed forces?
11:37They organized eight regions of integral defense.
11:41And we have the country with eight regions of integral defense.
11:45And each region of integral defense has a plan of combat, of armed fight, of the deployment of weapons, of the deployment of militias.
11:58They were organized by each state or federal entity.
12:04And the integral defense zone, the ODIs, that they receive the orders from the REDIs to implement the subsequent plans today.
12:15At a level of a permanent exercise, the Independence 200.
12:20At a municipality level, we organize the areas of integral defense, the ADIs.
12:30And it continues in a vertical level working five components.
12:35The four components known historically the Bolivarian Army, the Bolivarian Aviation on the Guard,
12:49and the Bolivarian militias as the fifth component, the special component, which is the people in arms.
13:00Where the people can, the homeland grows.
13:06And on that path, I could amplify with pictures the explanation of how the armed forces have lived.
13:18A revolution, a military revolution with Bolivar.
13:22Because Chavez and Maduro, we have done in Venezuela a military revolution with Bolivar, with Urdaneta, with Sucre, with Manuela Sainz, with Luisa Cáceres,
13:35Aritmen de Andra, also with Guaicaipura and Ezequiel Zamora.
13:41Here, we're not putting hot cloths with small changes like other places have done.
13:52And what they end is administering the oligarchies.
13:56And after four years of government comes the fascism.
14:00As, for example, Milley or what is happening in Chile.
14:07That a follower of Augusto Pinochet and the son of a Nazi is at the doors of the presidency of the Republic.
14:14With the truth, I don't offend nor I fear.
14:18It was said by the great liberator Jose Gervasio Artigas.
14:22Chile is paying for the consequences of a process of deep change that was frustrated by those who got to power.
14:32And from Venezuela, we can say it with honor and with morale because it hurts us.
14:39It hurts us deeply.
14:41The people of Salvador Allende betrayed so many times, massacred so many times.
14:47We hurt the people of Victor Jara and of Pablo Neruda.
14:51In Venezuela, that hasn't happened because we have done a deep revolution, a true one.
14:57And now in the working class, we are at the doors of the biggest revolution of the working class that has ever been seen in a hundred years of history of the working class movement and of the working people.
15:16The Constitutional Congress of the working class.
15:19So take note, my partners, take notes.
15:26And let's be able to learn from the great teacher, the delegates of the base.
15:34You are my teachers, you are.
15:38And from you, I expect a lot because I feed myself from you.
15:43Your strength is my strength.
15:45Your power is my power.
15:47And here, there is no unipersonal regime, one-person regime.
15:51And I say that, as Chavez said in his time, and he was underestimated when he said,
15:58Chavez is not me.
16:00It is you, working women.
16:02Chavez is not me.
16:04It is you, young Venezuelan.
16:06Chavez is not me.
16:07It's you, worker.
16:08It's you, businessman.
16:10It's you, farmer, singer, poet, because they said that Chavez had a regime.
16:16They continue with the same narrative.
16:21And I, I'm not sure that the word exists.
16:31The coffee here for the people.
16:32The coffee here for the people.
16:33The coffee here for the people.
16:38The coffee here for the people.
16:39Where the people.
16:40They are out.
16:41Well, Re-cooked, when you fry something, and how do you say it in English.
16:54is when you fry something how do you say it in English if the word used for when
17:04something is cooked in oil is fry then we recook it it will be refried so
17:14they're repeating the refry that Maduro is this or that and I can say to you
17:19dear brothers that we know each other from all of our lives and you know who I
17:25am and to you dear sisters Conchita Maria Petra Carmen I have a satisfaction
17:34in my heart that is very big because I can say today 2025 November 20th in
17:43Venezuela fortunately it is not a man it is not Maduro it's a people it is a
17:54working class that is empowered it's a republic that is united standing and
18:01willing to fight for the rights and for it and to be respected in this world
18:08today tomorrow and always it is not Maduro it is a history that is very big of
18:15Bolivar it is a project that goes beyond sir in imbeciles with the free gift with the
18:33forgiveness of the good and noble imbeciles that they also exist but this
18:38are the perverse ones you are stupid it is not Maduro it is the people it is the
19:01republic it is the history the great Bolivarian
19:06and each time and each time more the coffee has arrived
19:25I am happy as a worm
19:38it's so many things I imagine that from today attention
19:55commission that promotes what the organization is of the methodology of the
20:04working tables to prepare the proposals don't prepare documents heavy documents
20:15that in the practical thought go to the practical proposals and the practice that
20:22the real experience go to the proposals that help you know very much of that because if there
20:29is someone that has a concrete way of thinking it is the working class I learned that myself
20:34because for me the Metro of Caracas was a great school to change many things that I saw at a theoretical
20:45level on the left and that I had learned thanks to God for many years studying Karl Marx angels
20:54Lenin Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh and Mariategui as well and with the example of the Cuban revolution Fidel Che Camilo Raul
21:04listening to them and studying them but I confess the years that I was as a worker of the Metro from February of 1991 my working companions taught me to think and do in a different way
21:31in a different way I reformatted myself for the better and it was a lot what I learned from that and in those years when Chavez came up and then I met him well the revolution the true revolution so we have to organize the methodology
21:38that you helped me there together with the whole team the whole team the whole team the delegates men and women last time we talked have three great subjects correct
21:53methodology there's he helped me there together with piñata and the whole team
21:59the delegates men and women last time we talked of three great subjects correct
22:08for the first one
22:13the economy the production proposals concrete proposals to improve and balance and increase
22:23the national economy without depending on anyone the second point
22:34the organization the new structures of the working class combat the syndicates the federations these
22:44sectors the cpts
22:51to shuffle the cards for you to see that what is coming from here is historical and it's going
22:59to impact the reality of the working class of the world you will see the third point
23:05Bolivarian militias and combating bodies and the plan the integral plan of defense
23:18that comes because each one defends their space the petroleum facilities the gas ones to defend them
23:28from the cia that has put a lot of money and they have been told go there and damage the economy of
23:39venezuela that is the plans of the cia and basing those plans the working class power thousands eyes
23:46and years towards the world you understand me right in the installations of gas of petroleum
23:55of electricity of transportation of electricity of transportation and many other examples pay attention no one
24:07should
24:09dose off
24:12don't dose off
24:15pay attention
24:16it is a word that is in the dictionary and
