00:00 ALBA-TCP urges the left movements of the world to offer a united path to confront imperialism
00:06 that seeks to prolong its domination and permanence.
00:10 During this second day, the meeting is focused on hyper-imperialism and the deepening of
00:16 a world social alternative.
00:18 The Secretary of ALBA, Jorge Arreaza, called on the participants in the meeting to generate
00:23 proposals to advance in areas such as economic and political integration, as well as in education
00:29 and health, in order to give sure blows to capitalism.
00:33 Arreaza urged the leftist movements to agree on concrete actions in the field and took
00:38 as reference the cases of imperialist control in Argentina and the support to Israel to
00:45 attack Palestine.
00:54 I'm Anna Eich from Germany.
00:56 I'm from Kommunistische Organisation, a German communist organization.
01:01 It's really impressive, especially for me as a German, because in Germany we, communists
01:07 and anti-imperialists, are marginalized.
01:09 So to see a state hosting a big event like this and anti-imperialists from all over the
01:15 world coming together is impressive.
01:18 I think especially right now it's important that we come together where we see the genocide
01:23 in Palestine and also the huge sanctions on Venezuela and other countries.
01:30 I think we live in a time where the anti-imperialist movement is rising again, so it's important
01:35 for us to exchange and also to build stronger ties to combat the Western imperialism.
01:45 My name is Ahmed Deshti and I'm a member of the Kuwait Democratic Youth Union.
01:50 This event is amazing.
01:51 I've met with a lot of comrades from all over the world that stand in solidarity with Palestine,
01:58 Haiti, Cuba and Venezuela.
02:01 This is very much also my position as a member of the Kuwait Democratic Youth Union.
02:06 See yes, Palestine is one of the major causes that we as people from Kuwait and from my
02:14 organization, we stand firm with the people of Palestine and the right to resist against
02:20 the Zionist occupation.
02:30 We come this morning to talk about unity and to talk about unity in the left, in the left
02:34 wing, in the revolutionary movements.
02:40 It has always been a difficult issue.
02:41 Today is April 19.
02:47 Today is the 211th anniversary of the Venezuelan people's decision to be free.
02:54 On April 19, 1810, the first referendum in the history of our America was held there.
