00:01Hello, join us as we go live to Venezuela where Acting President Delce Rodríguez is holding a meeting with the
00:06Venezuelan youth. Let's see.
00:11We have had as well scientific and also leading the seed, the seedbed of scientific education for health.
00:25Less screens, more sports in which we are beginning from the authenticity as well with proposals that come from the
00:35very own students.
00:37The students keep learning but has never lost their essence of also enjoying life but from the schools. Thank you
00:46very much Adrienne.
00:47How many of you are here students from middle school education and from the university?
00:54Well, here they are, the students of Venezuela. Over 130,000 speakers that are being organized here.
01:06And isn't that democracy of course, participatory democracy from the schools of Venezuela.
01:16We wish that the transnationals take this information from here. You have democracy as well and the young students are
01:26discussing, are proposing and that's the true expression of what collectively is move on together.
01:35And I wanted to say that this youth is formed from the schools and are doing as well sports and
01:43is also working for Venezuela to become the greatest power.
01:48So once they are moving forward, they will be moving forward. They will go forward. The students have your back.
01:55Thank you Adrienne very much.
01:58Well we keep moving here. We are focusing on the sector of sports, one of the most important sectors of
02:03the nation in which the youths of Venezuela, once they leave the universities, they start playing baseball, football and prepare
02:12themselves to be athletes.
02:14Here is the athlete youth. What do you say? Well, first of all, good afternoon to all here present, to
02:22acting present. My name is Dennis Perez. Speaker of this athlete youth, for me, it's an honor to be part
02:31of this resilient youth that proves that we are prepared for success, for love, to offer achievements and to show
02:42that sports are very important.
02:44In our lives, we have had an increase in the medals of the Bolivarian Games, proving that Venezuela is made
02:51to triumph and is one of the greatest countries of the world.
02:54Venezuela, in every international contest that we are participating, we have had an increase of our medals, gold, bronze and
03:04silver as well. So a huge applause for our athlete youth.
03:10And I want to also make an encounter that was asked during the meeting on the winning team, the champions
03:21of the America's season in Caracas 2026.
03:27We were with representatives of Venezuela's team. They asked, let's speak about baseball. They requested for us to increase the
03:38number of plays of the major leagues to 50 with the objective of our youth that play sports professionally can
03:49be able to stay here in Venezuela a little bit longer and less in other countries.
03:54And I think it is very logical that our boys and girls from our professional league of baseball that generates
04:03as well thousands of jobs directly or indirectly and our youth that likes baseball can be able to play here
04:09in Venezuela.
04:10And we moved from 22 to 50 plays. That's the number that I'm going to be signing at this very
04:18moment.
04:21This league as well, Franklin, has a space for youth. From what age to what age? What's the demand? What
04:28is the percentage of the teams for the youth to participate?
04:32Yes, President. Yes, President. Effectively, this league is the most important league in summer with more time, with greater amount
04:41of players that also is incorporating all of the categories of the youth, not just in the country, not just
04:48adults, but also it is enormous that many men, there must be five juveniles,
04:56at least five, at least five, maximum five, maximum six youth on every team of the greater league.
05:0890% of players of Venezuela that represent us internationally come from the major league.
05:17That is why it is important to extend the number of players from 42 to 70 and for the youth
05:25to keep shining and to offer more opportunities for athletes, the youth athletes.
05:31This is a sign for the Venezuelan youth.
05:35Our colleague Angie wants to give you a gift that the smallest, the younger of our team,
05:43what's the role of those who are smaller or just like me? I'm the base, the pilot. I'm the one
05:50who guides. Am I?
05:52Precisely, it is the part of the basketball league. It is a t-shirt with a 58. That's the number
06:02of your birthday. This is the t-shirt of the basketball.
06:09Hector Rodriguez said that he held a meeting today with the Federation of Table Tennis and we are going as
06:16well to strengthen the table tennis
06:18in all of the schools of the country for it to be the seabed of the Olympic game when we
06:27take our athletes to the Olympics in all of the disciplines.
06:31Well, we continue with this vest. Thank you for the young boys and girls and now we are here in
06:40a very important show in the sports show and I'm here with Otto,
06:46the colleague Otto, who is leading a crucial team in Venezuela, but it's a pleasure to meet you president. I'm
06:53Otto Cabrera and I represent along with the boys the sector of the hip hop. We are a popular culture,
07:01urban culture,
07:01culture of over 30 years of development in our nation. We have made pictorial lines through graffiti and also through
07:09DJs and the freestyle rap and the urban dance, which is breaking.
07:15We have been representing Venezuela. We have brought here many awards internationally and many more, I would say, awards than
07:26Devino Tinto. What would you have to say to this movement?
07:29Well, president. We have held meetings with every cultural expressions and we know that also the effort is achieved through
07:42also recognition. We know that graffiti and freestyle have had a great representation in the international arena and that is
07:53why something that they ask us to do is that in Venezuela is declared
08:01that in March, that in March, it corresponds to the birthday of Jairo Jose Gonzalez known as Cancerbero. It is
08:09approved Genesis. Congratulations. We are arriving to a new sector, the motorized sector. It is a very important sector in
08:21our nation. What do you say?
08:23Félix. Good afternoon, Félix. Good afternoon, President. Welcome to this meeting. Well, I represent the motorized sector that has been
08:32targeted for many years through fake news, through this misinformation campaign, categorizing it of bad leaders, negative leaders. But here
08:43what we are is young women and men, working women and men that wake up very early in the morning.
08:50And in that in that bag, it is more than a bag. We transport hope, illusions of building up a
08:56better future than Venezuela in which we all are summoned, that is moving forward and over delivery could be perhaps
09:05a pizza.
09:06But there is, as well, our paperwork of the university, also the diapers of our children. Here we are, a
09:15group of women and men that in 2019, as the economy was falling, those were the ones, women and men,
09:20that put their, that came out and were the impulse of the economic growth.
09:28With the motorized youth, the entrepreneurs were the ones who were the ones who were leading the way of the
09:34economic growth in our nation.
09:36And now we are arriving in one of the sectors in which, just as, as the sports also have brought
09:42us many awards, they are competing worldwide, putting the name of Venezuela up high.
09:49And you can see some of the, some of the trophies of the sector.
09:52It is an Olympic game. It is an Olympic game. Is it an Olympic game? The electronic play is the,
09:58the, the, the game. We are a liberators federal team. And in the past few years, we have massified and
10:07diversified the sport, the electronic sports, the gamers here in Venezuela.
10:12And in our national territory, we have gotten to overnight public schools, demonstrating as well, what we can do in
10:23this world, showing the, the gamer ecosystems of the, the ecosystem of the sport, electronic sports and how young women
10:31and men of the nation can see us and look what we are able to achieve in the past two

10:46a champion team that is using the, the teacher of Venezuela.
10:51And they said to me that there's no arena of high training for the gamers. Well, yeah, we train very
11:00hard to develop our ecosystem here in Venezuela.
11:03So I'm asking the team to place a zone in which we can build that arena so you can have
11:09your training, the high training. Thank you, president.
11:14Well, I don't want to say goodbye without something that is over there, which is the show band.
