00:02We go live to the state of Tashira at this time as the Minister of Interior
00:07Justice and Peace is leading the caravan from the Tashira State that marks the
00:13seventh anniversary of the Battle of the Breaches. These are live images at this
00:18time. We are awaiting the minister statements at this time. Let's remember
00:23that Venezuela commemorates seven years since the Battle of the Breaches, an
00:27attempted invasion by the United States and its allies against the Bolivarian
00:31nation on the Colombian-Venezuelan border. The date commemorates the attempt by the
00:36national far right in alliance with the West to invade Venezuela under the
00:39pretext of delivering supposed humanitarian aid amid the economic
00:44crisis that was plaguing the country as a result of the US blockade at that time.
00:50On a date like this but in 2019 show groups and mercenaries paid by the
00:55opposition through stones and Molotov cocktails and threatened the security
00:59forces and civil society with guns. In response the people themselves with the
01:04support of the armed forces total lesson in dignity and courage in defense of
01:09sovereignty. And this is what is being commemorated to date in the state of
01:14Tashira marking the seventh anniversary of this Battle of the Breaches leading by
01:19the Minister of Interior Justice and Peace of Venezuela Diosdado Cabello and also present
01:27there is the mayor of Caracas Carmen Melendez, deputy of the National Assembly of Venezuela
01:33Iris Valera and the governor of Tashira Freddy Bernal. At this time live images of this
01:40caravan this march that still calls for peace in the country reaffirming the
01:48sovereignty of the country and the Venezuelan people. As part of this
01:53commemoration today the Venezuelan defense minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez
01:57posted on his ex account in response to these events of February 23, 2019
02:03presented as humanitarian aid but perceived by our people as an aggression
02:08Venezuela responded with what has always been its greatest strength unity in
02:13defense of peace. In the publication Perino Lopez emphasized this is how we
02:17have acted every time there have been an attempt to undermine its stability or
02:22sovereignty today. We will affirm not only our peaceful vocation but also our
02:27unwavering commitment to independence and self-determination. In addition the
02:32defense minister stated we reiterate to the world that the only legitimate way to
02:37approach Venezuela is through respect diplomacy and full recognition of his
02:41status as a sovereign state. Enough violence against our country. Happy start of
02:46the week Venezuela. This was posted on his ex social media account the defense
02:52minister of Venezuela Vladimir Padrino Lopez in the context of these seven
02:56years this seventh anniversary of the Battle of the Breaches. Let's remember that the
03:03Battle of the Breaches to place on the Colombian-Venezuelan border six specifically
03:07on the Simone Bolivar International Bridge. This event was part of their plan
03:12orchestrated by the Venezuelan opposition and supported by the government of the
03:17United States and other countries in the region which sought to bring drugs of
03:21humanitarian aid into Venezuela without the Venezuelan government's
03:25permission. It was a pretext to intervene in Venezuela. Venezuelan President
03:30Nicolas Maduro denounced at that time this Atenas maneuver to destabilize the
03:35country and undermine its sovereignty. These are life images at this time at this
03:40hour in the state of Tashira in the context of the seventh anniversary of the
03:45Battle of the Breaches. Let's remember that that was happened that happened in 2019
03:53on February 23 when groups of the opposition members attempted to cross the
03:58border with supposed humanitarian aid but they encountered strong resistance from
04:03security forces and Venezuelan citizens. This confrontation was characterized by
04:09what the Venezuelan government described as a civic military police union that
04:14defended the country's border preventing the trust from entering and frustrating the
04:18opposition's plan. You see the large crowd gathered there in this march in this
04:24caravan celebrating and commemorating this seventh anniversary of the Battle of the
04:31Breaches. These are the statements at this hour of the Minister Diosdado Cabello. Long live the
04:40President Nicolás Maduro. Long live Tashira. Good evening. How are you?
04:50You are tired. There is not even sun. Let's do something. We will send a greeting our
05:03Brother President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Siria Flores. We send a greeting. Let's shake
05:09our hand. Let's send this Solidarian greeting. Fellow comrades, seven years of those days because that was a
05:29succession of days. Day 23. As we light symbols, these symbols. This stone was had at DarĂo on his
05:47end and he had it on a pocket and he took it to Caracas. And with it, he make a
05:55stand in the road and he
05:58said, you are not coming from here. You are not passing by from here. And with the humble people, with
06:06women, men, and our
06:08national armed forces that are here present, let's send a greeting. And the police organism, we gave a battle, an
06:19an uneven battle, an attack, an attempt of invasion, planified with time, with the use of social media, to even
06:44say that what was coming from here. That's all right. We all know that. That was false. They wanted to
06:55invade
06:56Venezuela. And I don't have any doubt that if February 23 that people will come to Venezuela, the history of
07:10Venezuela will be so very different so that special recognition is we have
07:25said it to Venezuela we step every day
07:39we need to check and we need to keep moving forward and we're moving forward
07:45through the weight of revolutionary Bolivarian revolution because 52 days
07:56ago our turn national territory was attacked by up but a power not club
08:03nuclear power a dismesurate attack that ended in the kidnapping of our brother
08:11president Nicolás Maduro and first lady Syria Flores and the death of 100 of our
08:17Venezuelan brothers that they never had anything to do with the conflict and they
08:23died and there were many people that came out and celebrated that applauding what
08:33happened on the second and on the third and the third they say we go to
08:42Venezuela because now it is the time that same history that Chavez went and the
08:49revolutionary the revolution ended so what who was the ones who were celebrating
08:56the same people that were on February 23 and they couldn't those were the one who
09:07thought that they would be here on through January 3rd because we are still
09:14here our sovereign people and we support our our action president Elsie Rodriguez to
09:23keep moving forward to keep doing that transform necessary transformation to keep
09:28moving forward they will see what they're going to do with a hatred a just
09:35mercerate hatred visceral hatred a sick hatred absurd hatred a stupid hatred hate their own
09:48people their own country to the point to say that it was good that it was good to invade Venezuela
10:00that
10:01invasion was good even to that is when they could even burned in Venezuela but
10:08they are not Venezuelan they are anything else but Venezuela doesn't matter the
10:20political position they have all the right but asking for aggression for the own
10:25homeland no that is that is not miscible it is not easy to understand when we see
10:35those kind of things we say we need to go out to strengthen but with that the only
10:43thing we have here is love for the homeland love for our project love for our people
