00:00The most difficult years seem to be over in Venezuela.
00:03Peace and reactivation, not only the economic, mark the path that is not altered even a few
00:08hours before the presidential elections.
00:10The tranquility that is breathed in Venezuela a few hours prior to the elections is another
00:15one of the achievements of the Venezuelan people.
00:18And no, they do not want to lose it.
00:21It is gone.
00:22I think we are already used to voting process.
00:24We do our duty.
00:25This is no longer the same as years ago.
00:28Many years ago, when people used to shop impulsively.
00:33Something is going to happen, they used to say.
00:35No, it is something we have already overcome.
00:41Although media pressure for any interference and financial sanctions continue, the reactivation
00:46is evident, and not only the economic one.
00:50Artist Felipe Garcia knows it.
00:51He continues to occupy the spaces with his murals, and the sun is present in his new
00:56works.
00:57It was very difficult at some point, even due to the depressive state that practically
01:06everyone was in.
01:08Today it is not like that.
01:10Today, the results have been coming little by little, little by little, and also with
01:16the hope that this is the way to go.
01:20Even the businessmen are aware.
01:22At the Undercover Sanctions Forum held in April, they revealed an open secret.
01:28The financial coercion measures forced them to look for trade alternatives that represented
01:34up to 30% more costs in raw materials or final products.
01:41That produces inflation and consequently affects all Venezuelans, all consumers.
01:46The sanctions do not really affect politicians.
01:48They have never affected politicians.
01:51Even if it serves for something, time will tell, to strengthen national production, entrepreneurship,
01:57and deepen the patriotic sense of independence that today gives certainty to the people not
02:03to surrender.
02:04There is a greater consumption.
02:09People are consuming.
02:10At this moment, people are happy, and we see that there is flawlessness.
02:14Capital is being moved, and that is what we want.
02:16We continue betting on Venezuela.
02:18And the bet is not only economic.
02:20Although the blockade also affects the cultural industry, and, for example, books cannot be
02:27neither imported or exported, the Venezuela Book Fair was a success, and people went massively.
02:37I have had to see that as if, well, this was my money to do the weekly market.
02:44But I want the book so much that I will solve the food issue.
02:48There is an intention to continue investigating in culture.
02:53And in public activities, the rumba, the gathering, Caracas is refurbished, clean.
02:59La Guaira, the coastal border, probably shows off the beauty of its colonial streets.
03:04The economy is reactivated, yes, but also is the enthusiasm.
03:10Venezuelans walk with their heads held high.
03:13We made it, they seem to say, at every step.
03:17I remember 2017 and 2014 very well.
03:20I remember times when I spent months without leaving the comforts that I had at home.
03:24I will leave my little block because from there might be fire out there.
03:28There might be danger.
03:29Do you know what I mean?
03:31And danger caused by people who do not have very good intentions.
03:35Look how beautifully we are living at this moment.
03:38People working, people reinventing themselves, people building, which is what we have to
03:43aim at keeping it that way and to keep it going forward.
03:46Y en eso hay total acuerdo, ganó la mayoría, Paola Draknik, Telesur, Venezuela.
