00:00In Venezuela, as part of his electoral campaign, the presidential candidate of the Great Patriotic
00:05Poll, Nicolás Maduro, was received by the people of the state of Zulia to accompany
00:09his candidacy for the elections of July 28th. With a large mobilization, the inhabitants of
00:14the municipality of Paraguay, Poa, expressed their support for the candidacy of the current
00:19Venezuelan president in the fight against the blockades imposed by the United States and his
00:24European allies. The candidates for the Great Patriotic Poll thanked the people for their
00:28support to defeat the actions of the extreme right and promised to continue working for the
00:34welfare of the nation. Maduro also recalled the historic battle of the indigenous communities
00:39to defend their lands from the genocidal European colonialism of 500 years ago,
00:44when they arrived to the Venezuelan territory.
00:46500 years ago, colonialism came to all of America.
01:06And in this peninsula and in these territories,
01:08the people resisted the genocidal colonialism of Europe.
01:17They could not eliminate the Huayra culture, nor the ANU.
01:28I can say to the world that these million and a half Huayra and these thousands of ANU who
01:33preserved their lands, their language, their culture, their identity, their spirituality,
01:47are an example for all of America of how a brave people resisted and was capable of
01:53transcending history. On the other hand, the presidential candidate for the Great Patriotic
01:59Poll reiterated that the historic violence perpetrated by the European colonialism 500
02:04years ago cannot go back to the Venezuela of the 21st century.
02:09We must feel proud of the history we have lived. We must feel proud of our ancestors,
02:19because that gives U.S. sense of belonging, roots, spirit, strength.
02:23What did colonialism do when it arrived in America?
02:31There were 100 million men and women in all the people of the country.
02:35There were 100 million men and women in all the peoples from north to south.
02:45In 50 years, they exterminated 80 million and then enslaved those who survived.
02:53At the end of his electoral campaign, the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro,
02:57led the inauguration of the Paraguay-Pua Alcoduct Network and Pumping Station,
03:02located in the indigenous Bolivarian municipality of Guajira, in the state of Zulia. The president
03:08affirmed that despite the sanctions imposed by the United States and its European allies,
03:12the potable water restoration project carried out by the revolution will be functional in the next
03:1815 years. Maduro also called on the Venezuelan people to vote in the presidential elections
03:23of next July 28th to continue strengthening the country's basic services, which the ultra-right
03:29plans to privatize if it comes to power.
