01:07to oversee also the recovery efforts following the June 24 earthquakes.
01:13The acting president inspected and announced the activation of this comprehensive plan
01:19to allow also for the gradual resumption of the commercial flights.
01:24Let's hear the acting president, El Cid RodrĂguez.
01:29the acting president, El Cid RodrĂguez.
01:30After all these hard days that our comble and has passed, of mourning, of sadness, we are here.
01:52Let's recall that during the inspection that the acting president, El Cid RodrĂguez, carried out on July 6.
02:06It's real rebirthing.
02:09And we're going to give attendance and assistance to all the apartments that were damaged.
02:17We are here on the Bolivar Avenue of Caracas.
02:22We are working on around 20 buildings.
02:26And I am here with the president of the Presidential Commission, who is in charge of verifying every structure
02:36in order to determine the damages, Mr. Garces, and also the mayor of Caracas
02:43and the chief of the capital district.
02:46All of our teams together, everything is possible.
02:50And every one of these teams is under the leadership of Venezuela Renace Plan.
02:57I see all of our workers, our youth, our students are here working.
03:05And also every professional, every engineer, everybody is a work that involves the whole of Venezuela.
03:16I am calling for the construction of a new Venezuela.
03:18It is not about infrastructure only.
03:23It is about building the new being, the new Venezuelan, since from the solidarity,
03:32from the understanding of the other, from humanity.
03:37This is the new Venezuela that we have to build together in a national union.
03:44And here we are delivering construction materials.
03:51I am going to salute the brigades, the workers who are there, up there rebuilding our buildings.
04:01And they are giving their homes back to those who were affected by the double earthquake.
04:08We are delivering the material.
04:13Because of a technical plan, we have to have this, Venezuela is a seismic zone.
04:23And we have to manage all of our constructive plans with the technical assistance so that we do not put
04:35lives and families in risk.
04:38This technical plan has a technological platform, also a technological information centralized system.
04:49And all this technology will be required for any reconstruction, any rebuilding.
04:56So we are going, with this platform, we are going to articulate the building presidential commission and the higher state
05:09for the camps and temporary dorms.
05:14Because we do not only have to attend those who lost everything, they lost their loved ones, they lost their
05:24homes.
05:24But we have to project and construct a future.
05:27We are working on that.
05:28We are asking for help from countries who are also seismic countries, such as Japan, Peru, and Chile.
05:37We have contacted their government so that we have specialists that allow, together with the presidential commission,
05:47to verify what structures are in yellow color.
05:53That means that they need readjustments, but the structure is not compromised.
05:58Now, the color red needs another kind of treatment.
06:02But we are going to use the colors of the traffic lights so that some people can return to their
06:09homes.
06:10I want to give two broadcasts.
06:15The first one is for La Guayra State, where the governor of the state is there.
06:23We express our condolences to the governor because most of his staff died in the earthquake in La Guayra.
06:34I cannot stop transmitting my condolences for this tragedy.
06:42We will go there.
06:43I know that you are working on transforming this morning into work, because you have been there.
06:50So we want us to go to Las Brisas residential area, where we are going to work on 20 buildings.
06:59I am going to greet Mayor Zulbaran, who is commander of our Bolivarian National Guard,
07:08and who is an authority, a single authority for the managing of this seismic crisis.
07:16The floor is yours, Mr. Teran.
07:20May God bless you, Mrs. President.
07:24Your words fill our hearts with optimism for the future.
07:31Since the first hours of this tragedy, you personally have been present here with the team of your ministers,
07:39our army in order to attend that tragedy.
07:46And since those days, you have gone to another stage, which is the reconstruction.
07:53In this residential area, I am here accompanied by the popular power of the army,
08:00and the ministry of construction under the minister Garces has evaluated that 20 buildings are in the green color.
08:13That means that we are talking about immediate reconstruction, which will supply living apartments, living buildings,
08:26for those who are in temporary camps, but they can return to their houses safely.
08:33In La Guayra, we have built a team of engineers who have checked over 1,000 buildings,
08:45and 65% of 10 do not present structural damages.
08:51That is, 427 buildings are in the green color, and 303 are yellow color.
08:59That is 67%.
09:01Under your guidance, we have talked to the construction teams,
09:08and in the Orimare residential area, we have a construction camp from the Ministry of Habitat and Building,
09:21and many of our teams are working there in order to build everything that has been authorized already.
09:28In the airport zone, we have 128 workers, 30 people from the militia working.
09:38And in La Lucia, which is a residential area that had been damaged,
09:45we are rebuilding and working there because everything together, everything is possible.
09:51In Catia la Mara also, in the Suplet parish, there is also the army in Ana Maria Campo residential area.
10:02So we are in accelerated, in record time, we have had an answer, a reply from all this campaign.
10:12Venezuela renace, Venezuela is re-burden.
10:16Because since the first moment of this tragedy, you were leading with intelligence and commitment,
10:24you have provided answers to the whole countries, and also to the people of La Huayra, who were very affected.
10:32We, in La Huayra, we are resilient people.
10:35In the year 1999, we suffer from a tragedy, and as we go through all the camps,
10:41the people say, Mr. Teran, tell to the president that as we rebirth, we had a rebirth in 1999,
10:50we will again have a rebirth.
10:53We have here a person from this area who is going to talk on behalf of the neighbors of the
11:00community.
11:01Good afternoon, President Delcy.
11:03Since the camp of Brisas Maiketia, we are thanking you, because you have been all the time aware and inattention
11:16of all the faults and all the tragedy that our residential area has suffered.
11:21We, very quickly, we had received answers, and we are working on the first residential towers.
11:29With your help, and firstly, with the help of God, because God has given me, granted me life to be
11:40here in front of you working for our, the rebuilding of our homes.
11:44We know that God covered us with a holy cloud in order to be here and be thanking you.
11:56These are the heartfelt words of the neighbors.
12:00They send you all of our blessings under the leadership of our single authority, who is leading all the activities.
12:10We are here with the leadership also of all your ministers.
12:15We, from La Guayra, we say, God bless you.
12:19Go ahead, and we will have the rebirth of La Guayra and Venezuela.
12:24Mr. Duran, we cannot be doubtful that God helped us with his hand.
12:31Let's give thanks to God.
12:34Some people just thank God when they have problems.
12:37But we have to be connected with God and the love of the other and brotherhood.
12:44And we have to hug each other, embrace each other as a single family.
12:49Thank you, Mr. Duran.
12:51Thank you, neighbors.
12:52I send you an embrace from the bottom of my heart.
12:56We are here with the communities of the people who are living in these buildings on Bolivar Avenue.
13:04We are working together with the community.
13:10We are working on the Venezuela rebirth plan.
13:14Mr. Garcés, I would like to have a briefing of the Presidential Commission.
13:20The progress of the inspection of the buildings and the colors, the traffic light colors on the buildings.
13:29Good evening.
13:31As you instructed, we have been superversing all the states under the decree of National Domestic Emergency.
13:43We have several professionals in structural engineering who are working with the international method,
13:52which has been validated in Venezuela since many years ago, in order to study whether the buildings can be lived
14:00in or not.
14:02If they can be lived in, they are assigned color green.
14:06If not, they can have two tags, either a yellow one or a red one.
14:12The yellow one means that the structure has some damages, light damages, but the walls or the building is not
14:22safe.
14:23But the red tag means that the damage of the building can compromise the lives of the inhabitants.
14:35So the red tag doesn't mean that the building is going to be demolished.
14:42But we are going to have a more profound investigation on the site.
14:47And also we have international staff who have come here in order to assess it.
14:53Yes, we actually are together with them in order to create a method, in order to create protocols on the
15:03basis of countries who have lived seismic tragedies.
15:08As you said, the yellow case, I mean, if the structure doesn't have a structural damage, we are working on
15:18the structural issues.
15:21We are rebuilding the structural, addressing the structural problems so that the people can go back to their homes.
15:31As you know, Mexico is a country with a seismic experience and also great capacities.
15:41I want to thank President Shambo for the sending of the rescue team.
15:47They were so important in the searching and finding of victims in our country.
15:54Now what we need is technical support.
15:56We need an international technical support in order to update the protocols for the buildings in the future.
16:05The minister of housing is here with us.
16:12So we're going to start with projects of housing so that the people in the temporary camps have a house
16:19to return to.
16:21We have to have hope.
16:23I know that many people have lost hope, but you will have your hope when we deliver houses for the
16:35people who have lost their houses during the seismic tragedy.
16:39We're going to go to Arawa State with Governor Sanchez.
16:45We have been in contact with the Governor because of the tragedy.
16:50The double earthquake affected many buildings.
16:56We're going to go to San Incidro Center where over 80 families were affected.
17:03But after the technical verification, the buildings are under the yellow tack.
17:09So we can start with the constructions.
17:13Good afternoon, Mr. President.
17:15I'll send you an embrace of love and solidarity from Arawa State.
17:20We are here standing with the unbreakable will and hope that our people will prevail.
17:31With this plan, with this plan that Venezuela rebirth, we are in Maracay where the capital suffered on their structures
17:42and buildings.
17:43We are in the second phase in the Municipality Santiago Marino.
17:47We have some collapsed buildings, but we are advancing, progressing with the traffic light international signaling.
18:01We are on almost all of the buildings are under the yellow tack.
18:07A commission from Minister Garcés visited our state and will receive many notifications through associations and organizations
18:17are certified teams, and we are using this traffic light security.
18:23Under your leadership, we started with Mayor Rodriguez Cason, Engineer Jose Quijada, and Vilma, one neighbor.
18:33Therefore, we are working on reinforcing structures.
18:38In order to level the structures, then we're going to work with the rebuilding of the walls and everything that
18:48you have mandated.
18:50In the Arawa State, we have over 5,000 men and women as volunteers with no political discrimination who are
19:00working all through the state.
19:04From our neighbor Vilma, you are going to listen to a testimony that states that the hope on the government,
19:13the hope on the Venezuelan people.
19:15So we are together without any distinction of political affiliations in favor of our people.

19:28Thank you, God, because thanks to you we still have life.
19:33We are so grateful for you, Mrs. President, because from the very beginning, together with the governor,
19:43Johanna Sanchez, and her team, and Mayor Morales, and also with a team of engineers,
19:51we have been working and attending the call from these neighbors.
19:59I am the spokesperson of over 80 families who work here.
20:06We have been affected in our infrastructure.
20:08But thanks to your immediate support and instructions and responsibility, this government has been working with us all the time.
20:21This is not a lie. I am not an influencer.
20:24I am just here as a spokesperson of a reality, a reality that we are living, that we are seeing.
20:33We are being given all the training in order to have the company and the assessment in order for the
20:42people to return to their homes.
20:44We have so many things to do in this residential area.
20:48We need impermeabilization work and taking advantage of this channel.
20:56But we are so thankful to God.
20:59May God bless you.
21:01May you have the strength in order to embrace the Venezuelan people.
21:05Also, Mrs. President, all the people from the construction works of the state and the regional government are working here.
21:21We are using the international nomenclature.
21:24Thank you very much.
21:26So we are on the plan Venezuela Rebirth.
21:30This plan is going to go all through the buildings under the yellow tag in order to recover those houses,
21:41those homes.
21:42And I make a call for you to join this Venezuela Rebirth mission for those children with no home, for
21:52those parents with no children, for those pets that lost their houses.
21:58We are going to have a new reality.
