00:00And today the teams can begin to prepare. We say farewell to carnivals and we begin to prepare to welcome
00:06the high week.
00:09And this is the spirit of Venezuela, of all Venezuelans, that vindicate their cultural identity, that vindicate their right to
00:18peace, tranquility,
00:19that vindicate their right to a Venezuela of understanding, of tolerance, of respect.
00:28This is the real Venezuela, the true Venezuela. This is the Venezuela that we must join to consolidate that new
00:36spirituality, Daniela.
00:38President, yes, it is a constitutional right, the enjoyment of our people.
00:43And we can see here in different expressions how the carnival was lived across the national territory.
00:50For us, the greatest achievement is the joy of our people.
00:52For us, the great achievement and the greatest victory is that our people were able to return home and our
00:58children were able to enjoy,
01:02look, have a space for a healthy recreation, away from the screens of social networks,
01:10that our children can breathe, play with the land, they can paint, they can throw water balloons in this carnival.
01:19Now, Noun was providing a report from Caracas.
01:23Caracas was in carnivals as well. How many comparisons were there?
01:26Well, we had activity, the president, in all the communal circuits here in Caracas with community carnivals,
01:36different cultural expressions across the territory, we were able to see the diversity, the concerts, the music,
01:43and the sports agenda that we also deployed here in the Caracas with marathons, bicycle tours,
01:48and, well, all the spaces that have been recovered in Caracas, in Caracas City,
01:52they were put in this position for the Venezuelan families so that with a high turnout,
01:58we can highlight the participation of children, the full participation of children with all the creativity
02:04that we saw in the different categories, where we saw the heroes of our homeland,
02:09of course, everything that has to do with Venezuela, the national parks,
02:13and everything that we established as the city of Caracas in Guaragas Repano,
02:17full of people, many people visited the city from the other areas of the country,
02:23where the mountains also took part in the festivities, yes, tourism in mountains, adventures, tourism,
02:28everything that we did, the routes in Caracas, which there are over 83 routes that we have,
02:32that we established right now, we established new mechanisms so that the communal circuits
02:36can be part of it and be part of the carnival.
02:39Minister of Transport, how were the movements, what was the main one across the ground, across the land?
02:49Yes, exactly, the Bolivarian government, the original government,
02:52put over 1,200 transportation units to be able to move over 730,000 people to the different destinations
03:01at the national level.
03:02We want to highlight, of course, the main destination was La Guaida State.
03:06We also put at the disposition, there were over 590 national flights to transport more than 33,500 passengers
03:17across the nation.
03:19Well, imagine that the increase was over 70% this year, and that mobilization that we had this year
03:28through the carnivals also had an impact on the economy.
03:32The transactions, the electronic transactions commerce grew 41% in relation to 2025,
03:38but also the visits to supermarkets also grew by 13%.
03:45The visits to malls also grew, we are seeing the positive impact in the economy at the hand of our
03:53people.
03:53Well, with our own efforts, and no one comes here saying that someone is helping Venezuela,
04:00no one can say this.
04:02No, it's thanks to the Venezuelan people, it's thanks to the effort of our people
04:06that amid a criminal attack, a people that, as Daniela has said, these are people that knows
04:16how to recover, it's a people that stands up.
04:19We began the year 2026 with an aggression on January 3rd.
04:24And then there was a person I'd like to hear from you.
