02:37Let's hand over our hearts and be unstoppable this process of coexistence and peace for the future of Minnesota. Long

02:50We are listening to statements of a bill presented by candidate Simoza, the second point establishing the legislative agenda of
02:59today's and this was the bill in support of the national pilgrimage that is happening throughout the nation.
03:06Let's listen.
03:08Let's listen.
03:10Let's listen.
03:14We gave him the floor.
03:16Go ahead.
03:28Let's recall that we are at this moment witnessing live informations for that generated this moment from the National Assembly
03:34as part of the legislative order of the day of the legislative body of the National Assembly.
03:41of the of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela as it has been presented before deputies, the bill in support of
03:48the national pilgrimage.
03:50Let's listen.
03:51Deputies, women and men.
03:53Today I come here again.
04:01Today I come here again to this National Assembly to fix and to rise the position of Democratic Action Party
04:15of which I am the General Secretary at a national level and the alliance of the
04:23Democratic alliance that has come rising positions since 2020 when sectors, irresponsible sectors were traveling towards the U.S.
04:51and other countries worldwide, asking for sanctions against Venezuela, regardless of the reality that those decisions from the north and
05:13other countries were against the peace, the tranquility, the peace, the peace, the peace, the peace, the peace.
05:21education, food of Venezuelans, food supplies of Venezuelans, women and men.
05:33They did not care that those sanctions cost the bankrupt of enterprises, of entrepreneurs,
05:48of local businesses.
05:50They didn't care that the Venezuelan land impoverished.
06:00They didn't care that agricultural workers felt asphyxiated.
06:10At that very moment, Democratic Action and the Democratic Alliance fixed their position,
06:19we said to those sectors for them not to be criminals.
06:25So we said to those sectors for them to not be ruthless.
06:34And I insisted because they have here in their heads that in the possibility that the state
06:49of Venezuela had nothing to solve the problems, it is very easy for them to then blame the
07:01government for the problems of the population.
07:06They did so as well in the Fourth Republic because they are those same sectors.
07:14They are the same people.
07:17At that moment, they were their parents or their grandparents, the owners of the valley.
07:26And so we condemned those facts.
07:33And that is why with our heads up high on behalf of my party, Democratic Action and the Democratic
07:46Alliance, we say to Venezuela, we that want and love the country, we that want a country with an optimization
08:03of education, of education, of the health care system that want Venezuelans, women and men with a minimum wage
08:16with which they can taste the three potatoes, the three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
08:28And they have as well the capacity to save, we, for those reasons, we have come here to support and
08:45we will keep
08:46doing so against all risks that we face, those who manage the keyboards because we are not, none
08:57of the leaders, none of the leaders of the Democratic Alliance, we are not irresponsible.
09:07We are, we are supporting the pilgrimage that has been called by our president of the Republic.
09:15And we are supporting it because creating conscience in all the Venezuelan people to be the whole Venezuela united,
09:27that no one is left behind and we ask the United States and the White House, we ask them and
09:33for all to lift all the sanctions.
09:38We have relations from Venezuela with the United States. That is good news. They lifted sanctions, a few of them.
09:49That is good news as well. But we need, Mr. Trump, we need you to lift all the sanctions imposed
09:57in Venezuela for the dollars to come to Venezuela and for the Venezuelan states to begin to resolve the problems
10:06that the country has.
10:07That is why we are going to keep following this pilgrimage jointly with all of the Venezuelans, for all of
10:16those who have sanctions. We are going to ask that those sanctions be lifted because that is what is good
10:24for Venezuela. I fulfilled precisely with the time that the president gave me.
10:38Thank you, Deputy.
10:40Thank you, Deputy. Now I'm going to give the floor to Deputy Enrique Capriles.
10:44Deputy Enrique Capriles.
10:47Deputy Enrique Capriles.
