00:00And in Venezuela, the National Congress of the Bolivarian Historical Bloc continues.
00:04For more details on its third day, we go with our special envoy, Belen De Los Santos.
00:09Hello, studios.
00:12We continue here in Caracas in the third day of the Grand Congress of the Bolivarian Historical
00:18Bloc.
00:19As we have been saying for the past days, this is the event in which delegates from
00:24all over the country, from all over the Venezuelan generations have come together with the proposal
00:29that they have discussed in their territories to come meet and debate on the seven key issues
00:38that will mark the Venezuela to come in the coming years, in the coming government mandate,
00:43but also in the next 30 years.
00:45The idea is to make up a long-term plan for the Venezuelan development and for the deepening
00:51of the Bolivarian revolutionary process.
00:55So we are here on this third day, and we have been saying how this third day has been
01:00marked by a specific request to really reflect on the concept of the historical bloc, of
01:08the Bolivarian Historical Bloc, that is, this moment, how is it marked by the economical
01:14structure and the political and civilian forces that make up this present moment, and how
01:22all the militant efforts need to be focused on first understanding the needs of the territories,
01:29the needs of the communities, what the people from the bases are saying, and let the roadmap
01:36for the future really reflect those bases.
01:39That is the goal of this participatory process that is this Congress, but also that this
01:44needs to be guided by a deep understanding of the present time, of this historical bloc,
01:53what challenges lie and what possibilities can arise.
01:58So the discussion has been focused on that specific point, and all the different tables
02:04have been issuing their own ideas and proposals of how they seem.
02:09For example, we've heard discussions regarding how to have a feminist perspective on the
02:17modernization and the development in terms of the economy, the Venezuelan economy, in
02:23this moment.
02:24We've also seen particular statements from the delegates at each table regarding the
02:30importance that there's no way to really understand the Bolivarian Historical Bloc
02:36without understanding the geopolitics at the moment and at play.
02:42So there's a very deep political reflection also that expands from the national borders
02:48of Venezuela and really needs to understand what is happening in the region, what is happening
02:54in the world, and how does this process, the Bolivarian process, that is also really acknowledged
03:01by its own people like a unique process, an avant-garde process in the world.
03:07So the reflection regarding the international situation also is taking a key role to understand
03:16where this process is laid on and what are the challenges and the years to come.
03:23So this day is finishing with a screenplay, with a film that is being shown from musician
03:30Ali Primera and the delegates will continue to enjoy from a political perspective, from
03:35an artistic perspective, everything that has to do with the Bolivarian process at this
03:41moment and specifically the challenge to face the years to come with a concrete program
03:47that comes from the bases and that is the mandate from the executive, from President
03:53Nicolás Maduro.
03:54So that is everything from this third day at this Congress in Caracas.
03:59We will continue of course with all the information.
04:02Now we go back to you.
