00:00Comments at this hour from the President of the National Assembly and Chief of the Major
00:05Command that has been set up to assess the consequences of the back-to-back earthquakes
00:12that struck the nation on June 24th. He has been assessing key information. First, he
00:20offers another data, new data, regarding the damage that has created these back-to-back earthquakes.
00:29He referred to over 4,000 people that have died as a consequence of the damage that have
00:38caused these two earthquakes struck the nation on June 24th. Also, he referred to the fact
00:44that there has been set up 94 temporary camps with dignified conditions. Let's listen once more to statements.
00:58And we did not ask about their ideology or their position regarding Venezuela or what they did to Venezuela.
01:06Of course, yesterday I saw in international media the bureaucracy in Venezuela hinders the arrival of international rescuers.
01:20We want to investigate. Apparently, one rescue team could not arrive because they did not receive any visa.
01:28But the thing is that all rescuer people arrived without visa. And the visa was given once they arrived at
01:36the airport at Maiketia or Valencia. So that is curious, right?
01:42And what about the rest? More than 4,000 rescuers, teams, still 1,500 are in the country. Are there
01:51ghosts?
01:52And the videos that Bukele showed are done with AI, with all the rescuers from El Salvador arriving in Venezuela,
02:02and the intensive assistance provided by the United States. That assistance does not exist.
02:08And the UN work and the UNICEF work, the rescue teams from the UN that arrived on the 25th of
02:20June,
02:20because they were in Colombia, and they arrived with our problems. We need to investigate this.
02:26But I hope, really,
02:31of course, you could use the need of objectivity. Yeah, well, if we make a mistake, okay, let's try to
02:40resolve those problems. We shouldn't use lies in order to hurt us. CNN,
02:49Mrs. Mena, you have the floor. Good afternoon.
02:57Some questions that we share. Yes, you met. Okay, good. One,
03:07the handling of the rubble. Of course, we have a lot of rubble. People are concerned
03:18that that rubble could reach the sea. In Caravalleda, Taraguarena, we see mountains of rubble close to the sea.
03:32Okay, let me answer that question. Yeah, I saw the influencer, you know, with their long hair,
03:42bearded, etc., saying, oh, they are throwing the rubble to the sea. We have 1,280,000
03:54tons of rubble. In Norway, us, that international experts have got the idea of throwing this to the sea.
04:09So, among those countries that protect the environment and the marine fauna is Venezuela.
04:19On the contrary, we are trying to find mechanisms of how this rubble could be reused. There are many
04:26technologies that enables us to classify this rubble and could be reutilized. For instance, to enlarge the
04:38lanes in the airport. And tell this guy, this influencer, please, he's not going to say that he's saying
04:46a lie. But this guy is telling a lie, very damageable. You mentioned the housing units and you have an
04:57aggressive plan. That's what she said. Do you have any estimate of when these housing units will be
05:04built three months, six months? Next week, President Rodriguez is going to deliver the first 200 housing units.
05:16In September, all the schools that are currently occupied, 90 schools or camps in the schools,
05:27in September, those people should leave because we start the school year. So, either through the
05:36purchasing of new units, the rental, or they're going to have a unifamily units for those people with
05:46homeless. So, it is clear that the country is in exceptional conditions. In the midst of an acting
05:55president in six months in the position. So, I would like to know what the tribunal is thinking about
06:08the elections. Are we going to organize elections? We are not stopping any. We are not caring about the
06:18Supreme Court. Now, our concern is the people who are suffering. I think we are not going to meet among
06:26politicians in order to decide who is going to be sent to the Supreme Court. So, if you want to
06:40meet us
06:41in order to tell us how to reform the rental law on to pass and emergency law, et cetera, and
06:50how to find
06:53land for new housing units, we are meeting all the constructors, people who can move forward. We are not
07:03asking political cards to any of these constructors. It is clearly these people are in the opposition, but their
07:14purpose is to build housing units. So, thank you very much.
