00:13In Venezuela's will, Acting President Delce RodrĂ­guez led the great national pilgrimage in Uruguay State,
00:19calling for an end to the unilateral coercive sanctions imposed on the country.
00:23The march held under the slogan for a Venezuela in peace and without sanctions is traveling across the country to
00:30gather support in rejection of the criminal measures affecting the population's well-being.
00:35In this regard, the Acting President urged all political sectors to put aside their differences and unite in demanding sovereignty.
00:43The pilgrimage began on April 19th, with participants setting off simultaneously from several states.
00:50It is expected that demonstrators from across the country will come together for a large rally in Caracas on April
00:5730th.
01:07And speaking from the Maracay Opera House in the state of Aragua, Acting President Delce RodrĂ­guez called on the governments
01:14of the United States and EURO to lift all sanctions against Venezuela as this affects the entire population.
01:23I call on President Donald Trump and European governments to lift the blockade against Venezuela completely, so that not a
01:31single sanction remains in place.
01:33It is the children, the youth, adults, and elderly people of Venezuela who suffer the consequences.
01:42The intergenerational impact on millions of children and other adults, our most vulnerable groups, is incalculable.
01:53And we stay in Venezuela because on Wednesday, Acting President Delce RodrĂ­guez also joined the National Pilgrimage in La Guayra
01:58State to call for the lifting of all unilateral sanctions.
02:02In the presence of productive sectors and civil society, the Acting President called for collective unity for the sovereignty of
02:10Venezuela.
02:11In this context, Delce RodrĂ­guez referred to the people's resistance in the face of the economic blockade that has impacted
02:18all sectors of the country.
02:19In addition, she reaffirmed the government's commitment to increasing production and export capacity as part of Venezuela's development and strengthening
02:27its international cooperation ties.
02:29The Acting President also urged all Venezuelans, both within and outside the country, to support the national call for peace
02:36and an end to sanctions.
02:43The Great Pilgrimage for a Venezuela free of sanctions and a peace arrived to the state of Huarico, where several
02:49social sectors and local authorities gathered to accompany the meeting.
02:53During this gathering, the Sectoral Vice President for Policy, Public Safety and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, emphasized the need to protect
03:02domestic production and ensure the safety of agricultural workers,
03:06in order to boost the economy in the face of current challenges.
03:09During the event, several representatives of the agro-industry in Huarico were present, and they emphasized that one of the
03:16sector's main goals is to strengthen food sovereignty.
03:19In this regard, Cabello expressed his categorical rejection of actions that undermine the efforts of small farmers,
03:26and noted that the government must ensure the necessary conditions are in place to prevent middlemen from imposing unfair terms.
03:39because the sanctions were not born alone.
03:41The sanctions are the result of a great hate campaign against our own country, of a great hate campaign, of
03:48people who probably don't have their children here.
03:51In fact, they probably don't even have their heart here.
03:55And I'm not saying that they are in love with a person, with someone.
03:58No, their heart is to love this country, in any circumstance.
04:04And on Wednesday, the Senate of Miranda joined the National Pilgrimage for Venezuela in peace and without sanctions,
04:10with the participation of the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez.
04:14In this context, the Venezuelan official stated that the pilgrimage demonstrates the unity of the people in their demand for
04:21the permanent lifting of blockades and sanctions.
04:23The President of the National Assembly also affirmed that Venezuela has the right to fully integrate into the international, commercial,
04:31economic, and financial landscape.
04:33In this regard, Jorge Rodriguez emphasized that unity among all Venezuelans is the only way to overcome the difficulties caused
04:41by these illegal actions against the nation.
04:52We achieved what we were primarily seeking, to find the reasons and the ways that unite us as Venezuelans, not
04:59what divides us, not what separates us, not what bothers us.
05:03It's not about whether you belong to this party or that one.
05:08Here, in this country, either there is room for all of us, or there is room for none of us.
05:14And this pilgrimage has been a fundamental driving force in this process of coming together, to build the future together.
05:21We will not be able to build the Venezuela that our doctors and sons deserve without the participation of Venezuela.
