01:49 must adjust to this new reality of the 21st century.

02:01 to overcome inequalities.
02:09 Venezuela that has decided to be free more than 20 years ago, that has decided and undertaken
02:14 a democratic project of correction of the deep social inequalities that we have lived
02:21 during the whole 20th century, a democratic project of inclusion, a democratic project
02:27 that took hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens out of poverty, has been victim of
02:35 these unilateral coercive measures.

02:44 All of them directed at the throat of our economy and the welfare state that President
02:51 Hugo Chávez and President Maduro have defended so strongly for our people.
