00:00I am going to give the floor to Deputy Jorge Reaza, that is, who is the President of the
00:07Special Commission for the drafting of the report for the second discussion of the Amnesty
00:14Law for the Democratic Coexistence. Microphone for the Deputy, please. Thank you very much.
00:20Thank you, President and Second Vice President. Congratulations. Today is the day of the youth
00:29for all the youth of Venezuela that have been actively participating in this consultation
00:38of a law, such a needed law, so necessary that we ratify today again the coherence
00:48and the sense of the political movement of acting President del C. RodrĂguez to propose
00:56it not just like a general amnesty but also with a last name amnesty for the democratic coexistence.
01:05We have assisted in these past six days of work into unnumberable meetings, assemblies, and we
01:14installed ourselves on Friday, February 6th, and we deployed ourselves throughout the national
01:22territory. On Saturday, we received the institutions of the administration of justice system to the
01:31leaders of the powers in charge of administering justice in Venezuela, and we received their proposals
01:38directly. That same afternoon, we met with a group of non-governmental organizations that had a
01:48trajectory in the activism for human rights, and we listened as well to every proposal, to any suggestion,
01:55to any initiative, and also we incorporated a good part of what it was proposed. On Sunday,
02:03we were with the judges of peace, justices of peace of Caracas, they are the great mediators in the
02:09territory. But also, it was transmitted for all justices of peace through CGTV and through other means,
02:22and that derivated into a group of assemblies as well that I'm going to mention here. On Monday,
02:26we had a deployment, such as the members of the commission, like also as deputies, legislatures,
02:35councilmen and women from throughout the country, and we thanked their willingness to incorporate
02:41into this process with a huge sentiment to discuss this law. Even in the Guayana sequiva,
02:49there was an assembly to discuss, to debate, and to make proposals to this bill.
02:57On Tuesday, we received family members of detainees, of inmates. The meeting lasted for six hours,
03:07consecutive hours. We listened to almost 100 interventions, and their initiatives and their
03:14circumstances are being considered as well. We also met with victims of the political violence of the
03:222013, 2014, 2017. We listened to the strong testimonies to losing a child in flames. For example,
03:33the lady Ines Esparagoza, and that no one among those present, and besides the one that is from abroad,
03:43not even helped her child, her kid, as he was set on fire. But also we listened to statements of
03:53victims
03:53from 2014, from 2017, from 2013 that lost their children, their wives, and their husbands,
04:03and they have no hope of seeing them again. Also, we were working in the Commission. Mr. President,
04:13I want to thank you, and I want to thank all of the members of this Commission, without differences
04:22from any party for their compromise, with also the Vice President, Nora Bracha, and also the
04:31Parliamentary Group of the Parliamentary Group of Homeland for a discussion, such a sincere discussion,
04:44assuming the new political moment. There was debate, a good debate. We are coming out from a meeting at
04:51this moment when we were given the final details, the final touch, but we also search for consensus
05:00for the people of Venezuela that deserves a law with which we all are happy with.
05:09Just to end this statement, in numbers, the numbers that we're going to hand over of the process of
05:15consultation, we have enhanced 2,700 initiatives by handwritten, but also we are receiving more
05:26initiatives to this amnesty law, and as I said, we performed assemblies throughout the nation in the
05:3325 states of the nation, but also it reports. Magistrate Tania D'Amelio, just a few moments ago,
05:41that the Justices of Peace were also motivated by the meeting we had, the Commission on Sunday,
05:48last Sunday, and they did, in 2,267 communes, processes of consultation of this law in which
05:57their over 25,000 neighbours, women and men, participated in these assemblies, and there's a
06:05special thanks for the Justice of Peace for their task, and I want to confess at last that to search
06:14for consensus, there are people who say and are signaling that they have had so much patience for
06:24the debates, lasted for as long as it was needed, and it has been worth it. And we did so,
06:31as we were
06:31mentioning, when you presented the law, that Commander Hugo Chavez that arrived on the 13th and 14th of
06:41April of 2002 with his Christ, I also called her, his daughter Rosa, to ask where that Christ was,
06:50and she said he has it in her pocket, in his uniform, and I have one very similar that Admiral
07:00Carmen Melendez gave me,
07:02and I had it with me in my pocket for it to shine on us and to lead us on
07:09the path of consensus and dialogue,
07:11and to favour the new political moment of understanding and reunification in the homeland of BolĂvar and
07:19the homeland of that youth that today is marking an anniversary. Thank you.
