[00:08:29] Abelardo de la Espriella takes office in Colombia, the authorities
[00:08:32] reported the seizure of a bus equipped

[00:17:54] we announced yesterday here on the front
[00:17:57] page. Also Argentina maintains its stance
[00:18:01] against Brazil's actions. Diplomatic
[00:18:04] tension between Argentina and Brazil has reached
[00:18:08] a new level after the Brazilian government's decision
[00:18:11] to downgrade the rank of its representation in Buenos Aires and a strong

[00:21:26] drones, a bomb drone deactivated next
[00:21:29] to a Ukrainian plane in
[00:21:32] Germany. To the right, Trump and Miley's attacks strengthen
[00:21:36] Lula for re-election. The president of
[00:21:38] Brazil reinforces his nationalist discourse. Further down, the
[00:21:42] European Union joins the protectionist wave with measures to
[00:21:46] help European firms. Let's now see
[00:21:49] what the international version of the New York
[00:21:53] Times reviews, you will have it next on your
[00:21:55] screens, this is today's front page that is exported to the
[00:21:59] world, stranded in the Persian Gulf, sailors
[00:22:03] on ships trapped in the Strait of Hormuz remain there
[00:22:06] in the crossfire of Iran's war, before
[00:22:09] the war with Iran, about 138 ships
[00:22:12] passed through the Strait of Hormuz daily on average,
[00:22:15] in other headlines in Nicaragua
[00:22:19] a desperate dictatorship, the country
[00:22:22] shows what happens when even desperate dictatorships fear
[00:22:26] a rigged election and in another
[00:22:29] article, The New York Times publishes how China
[00:22:32] monitors foreign residents, a police
[00:22:36] control panel offers an unexpected view of the use of data
[00:22:40] for tracking. This is part of what the international
[00:22:43] version of the New York Times highlights
[00:24:50] our colleague Milady Travieso, who reviews what the authorities,
[00:24:54] the spokespersons from the Fe y Alegría network, have reported the
[00:24:58] loss of 30 of their student members and one teacher, this
[00:25:01] due to the earthquakes that occurred on June 24, also affecting
[00:25:14] Venezuela where it was reported that more than 70 spaces were
[00:25:17] affected after the two earthquakes. In the midst of this
[00:25:20] situation, four lines of action were proposed,
[00:25:24] including financing, recovery, actions that
[00:25:34] educational spaces throughout the
[00:25:36] country.
[00:25:39] And also our students,
[00:25:42] 700, 500 715
[00:25:45] students suffered damage to their homes and
[00:25:49] two. 200
[00:25:53] 80 workers also have
[00:25:56] problems with their homes and of these we have
[00:25:58] prioritized which means that we have to
[00:26:02] find a solution before October for
[00:26:06] 31 spaces, we believe that we must continue
[00:26:10] having safe and protected spaces for our
[00:26:14] students, uh, those
[00:26:17] 31 critical spaces
[00:26:21] can affect 18,000 students if we
[00:26:25] do nothing, these schools that for example are green
[00:26:28] tagged, we know that it will be a face-to-face attention but that
[00:26:32] we will have to support a lot in the psycho-emotional
[00:26:34] field,
[00:26:37] we have to train a lot in risk management, for example,
[00:26:40] make it a culture in our schools, the schools that have
[00:26:43] a yellow label or that at that moment still have
[00:26:47] a yellow label, we would have to think about
[00:26:50] how to
[00:26:53] sectorize those risk areas that exist in schools so that
[00:26:56] students can go in groups for example and can
[00:27:00] be attended in the semi-presential reality
[00:27:03] also in the schools obviously that have a red
[00:27:07] label that we will not be able to attend students there, think about
[00:27:11] 30 students but entire
[00:27:15] families that
[00:27:18] they suffered and that today they are not with us, that they are not active in the
[00:27:22] campus, we had an educational community of 809
[00:27:25] students and 700-something families,
[00:27:29] and that in the parish, only in the data that
[00:27:32] we have... endured, we have 309 left because many have
[00:27:34] emigrated, some of those who already passed away, others
[00:27:38] seeking other paths, that is a hard blow within
[00:27:41] our reality. Joy has always spoken of creating
[00:27:45] conditions to generate opportunities, that has
[00:27:48] been one of our mottos and one of our vocations within our
[00:27:52] educational space, creating conditions in
[00:27:55] infrastructure to have safe
[00:27:58] spaces, making adaptations in our
[00:28:02] academic spaces to guarantee learning,
[00:28:06] also creating
[00:28:08] conditions for students and families
[00:28:12] to ensure the protection of each one of
[00:28:15] them, and something we have emphasized since
[00:28:18] 2019 has been creating labor
[00:28:22] conditions for the staff who work in our
[00:28:25] educational spaces. Fe y Alegría Venezuela
[00:28:29] remains in a planning process to address.
[00:28:32] effectively the institutions with the
[00:28:35] objective of starting a new school year in
[00:28:39] October 2026.
[00:28:42] Milady Travieso, Globovisión. Thank
[00:28:45] you, Milady, for this detail of how the Fe y Alegría network is doing after the
[00:28:49] earthquakes of June 24th. A very heartfelt, very tough
[00:28:52] situation for these institutions that will return in this school year
[00:28:56] without a large part of their student
[00:29:24] Banco de Venezuela because your greatest value
[00:29:28] is you, inviting you to watch
[00:29:31] the news. Globovisión Sports. At
[00:29:34] Globovisión we have multiple options to keep you
[00:29:38] connected with what's happening in Venezuela. Go to
[00:29:41] globovision.com click on our YouTube
[00:29:45] channel and now also on Dailymotion. And tune
[00:29:49] into our live signal wherever you are. People
[00:29:52] have been saved, rescued in the state of
[00:29:56] La Guaira. Remember, Globovisión on Daily
[00:29:59] Motion, so you can always stay connected.
[00:30:05] This Saturday on "Otra Visión," we took a 2-year break,
[00:30:09] and because of what
[00:30:13] this tragedy was, which truly not only affected
[00:30:17] La Guaira but an entire nation,
[00:30:19] we had to come back. Our program is for 24 months, where
[00:30:23] we can attend to at least 500 children. I say
[00:30:27] "at least" because 500 children is a very
[00:30:31] low number for what we are facing, but one
[00:30:34] also has to know how much they can cover. "Otra Visión,"
[00:30:38] Saturday, one in the afternoon on Globovisión.
[00:31:15] 6:35 minutes, we are ready to present the international
[00:31:18] news for this Thursday, August 6th. As we told you at
[00:31:22] the beginning, Colombia is preparing because tomorrow, Friday,
[00:31:25] August 7th, is the inauguration of president-elect
[00:31:29] Abelardo de la Espriella, who also opens a new political
[00:31:33] process in the Neogranadine country. However, the
[00:31:36] growing violence has also shown signs of
[00:31:40] danger in recent days. The authorities have already
[00:31:44] warned of plans that would allegedly be
[00:31:47] prepared to generate attacks and also sow
[00:31:51] fear in the population, and as we headlined at the beginning of
[00:31:54] today's front page, authorities in Cali have
[00:31:58] seized a bus conditioned to transport
[00:32:01] explosives that would also allegedly be used by illegal
[00:32:05] groups to generate attacks on military
[00:32:08] installations and also police forces. But in addition, the
[00:32:12] Colombian government has already activated a security alert. given a
[00:32:16] possible threat of attacks during the inauguration ceremony of
[00:32:19] president-elect Abelardo de la Espriella scheduled for this Friday in Cali
[00:32:23] there in the department of Valle del Cauca. The authorities
[00:32:26] warn that illegal armed groups could
[00:32:29] try to affect the democratic act that will be attended by
[00:32:33] several international leaders and foreign
[00:32:36] representatives. The outgoing Defense Minister Pedro
[00:32:40] Sánchez reported that there is a threat considered latent
[00:32:43] and that the security forces. will reinforce the protection of the
[00:32:46] event. For the day, more than 11,000
[00:32:50] members of the public force while restrictions on the
[00:32:54] use of drones in Cali and nearby municipalities will be maintained to prevent possible
[00:32:57] incidents. The city was chosen by
[00:33:00] Delespriella for his inauguration after winning the elections
[00:33:04] with a discourse of firmness against illegal
[00:33:07] armed groups. Cali is located near areas where
[00:33:10] dissident structures of the former
[00:33:13] FARC and other illegal groups operate
[00:33:16] in a region marked by illicit crops and
[00:33:19] territorial disputes. Colombian authorities assure that they are working to
[00:33:23] guarantee a safe ceremony and preserve the
[00:33:27] development of the change of government,
[00:33:29] although the outgoing Gustavo Petro does not recognize the
[00:33:33] triumph of de la Espriella and on several occasions has
[00:33:36] aired his discourse that
[00:33:39] there was an alleged fraud in these presidential elections,
[00:33:43] despite the fact that all international observation bodies
[00:33:46] have ruled out this possibility and the Colombian
[00:33:49] electoral system also denies
[00:33:53] what was said by President Gustavo Petro, who
[00:33:56] ends his term tomorrow, Friday, August 7th, at
[00:34:00] noon. He will not be at the
[00:34:03] inauguration either. The truth is that a new government will begin and
[00:34:07] he will be the head of the opposition precisely in
[00:34:10] Colombia. Let's remember that he supported Iván Cepeda as his
[00:34:13] presidential candidate. and aspiring for this new political stage in
[00:34:17] Colombia, which also promises a firm hand against the
[00:34:20] different groups that are still armed. Let's now
[00:34:24] talk about the diplomatic crisis between Brazil and
[00:34:27] Argentina, because Brazil decided to temporarily reduce the level
[00:34:31] of its diplomatic relations with Buenos Aires. It will maintain the
[00:34:34] link under the figure of chargé d'affaires while
[00:34:38] the verbal attacks of President Javier
[00:34:41] Miley against his counterpart Luis Ignacio Lula Silva continue.
[00:34:45] as tension increases between both countries which are going through the biggest diplomatic
[00:34:48] crisis in more than 200 years of bilateral
[00:34:51] relations. The conflict began after Miley's statements
[00:34:55] during a political event in Sao Paulo where
[00:34:58] he supported the presidential candidacy of Flavio
[00:35:01] Bolsonaro and accused the Brazilian government of
[00:35:04] interfering in Argentine internal affairs. Brazil
[00:35:08] described these comments as a lack of respect and withdrew its
[00:35:12] ambassador in Buenos Aires. Argentina regretted
[00:35:15] this decision and assured that it is a measure with political
[00:35:19] motivations. Brazilian authorities insisted that the
[00:35:22] decision does not respond to ideological differences, but to what
[00:35:26] they consider repeated attacks against their
[00:35:29] institutions. The tension also occurs in a scenario of
[00:35:32] rapprochement between Miley and opposition sectors to Lula
[00:35:36] in view of the next presidential elections in
[00:35:39] Brazil.
[00:35:45] And as we announced this Wednesday, the Vatican
[00:35:48] confirmed that Pope Leo XIV will make a tour of
[00:35:51] South America from November 6th to 17th with official
[00:35:55] visits to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. The pontiff will
[00:35:59] begin his journey in Montevideo, Paysandú
[00:36:02] and Florida, will continue through Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Luján
[00:36:06] and will conclude his trip to Peruvian
[00:36:09] territory. The most extensive stage will be there
[00:36:12] precisely in Peru where Leo XIV will visit
[00:36:16] Lima, Cuzco, Pucallpa and
[00:36:20] where he was bishop after spending almost two decades as a
[00:36:24] missionary and obtaining Peruvian citizenship. For
[00:36:27] Argentina and Uruguay it will be the first official visit of a pope in almost
[00:36:31] 40 years, it will also mark the return of a pontiff
[00:36:35] to Argentina since his predecessor Francis never
[00:36:38] visited his native country precisely during his
[00:36:41] pontificate.
[00:36:47] Several governments have already celebrated the announcement made by the Holy
[00:36:50] See of this official visit of Pope Leo XIV to
[00:36:54] South America. The new government of Peru hopes
[00:36:58] that this tour by Pope Leo XIV in November will also contribute
[00:37:01] a la reconciliación nacional en un país marcado
[00:37:04] por una década de crisis política. El canciller
[00:37:08] Carlos Espag afirmó que la llegada del pontífice, quien tiene
[00:37:11] nacionalidad peruana desde 2015 representa
[00:37:14] una oportunidad para impulsar la unidad entre los ciudadanos
[00:37:18] y dejar atrás las divisiones. La presidenta Keiko
[00:37:21] Fujimori, quien asumió recientemente el poder, también celebró el
[00:37:25] anuncio de la visita papal. León. 14 tiene previsto recorrer,
[00:37:28] como les decía Lima, Chiclayo, Cuzco y Pucalpa entre el
[00:37:32] 11 y el 17 de noviembre, en su primer viaje al
[00:37:35] país como líder de la Iglesia Católica. El gobierno peruano
[00:37:39] prepara un plan de contingencia ante posibles afectaciones
[00:37:43] climáticas por el fenómeno del niño durante la agenda del
[00:37:46] pontífice.
[00:37:52] And we're going to change the subject because on Wednesday night, Chilean President
[00:37:56] José Antonio Cast announced a legislative offensive against
[00:38:00] organized crime, one of the pillars of his government since he
[00:38:03] came to power in March with the promise of confronting crime and
[00:38:07] irregular migration with a firm hand. Let's see what he
[00:38:11] said.
[00:38:20] Well, this is part of the announcements that President
[00:38:24] José Antonio Cast has made in recent hours. Let's remember that
[00:38:27] part of the proposals he outlined in his presidential
[00:38:30] campaign was precisely to attack organized
[00:38:33] crime, also an offensive against
[00:38:37] illegal organizations present in Chilean territory,
[00:38:41] including international organizations, but
[00:38:44] also not neglecting irregular migration entering through the
[00:38:48] northern border of Chile, something that also worries
[00:38:52] authorities due to some security incidents. Let's now
[00:38:55] see the statement and the announcement.
[00:39:00] There are more than 30 projects, some
[00:39:03] that are already in Congress and correspond to parliamentary
[00:39:07] motions and others that we will present in the coming
[00:39:11] days,
[00:39:13] that will change the way we confront organized
[00:39:17] crime in Chile.
[00:39:21] Although Chile remains one of the safest countries in Latin
[00:39:24] America, the rate of...
[00:39:27] reached 5.4 per 100,000
[00:39:30] inhabitants in 2025, double
[00:39:34] that of a decade ago, in a context
[00:39:36] marked by the expansion of transnational
[00:39:39] criminal organizations such as the Tren de
[00:39:42] Aragua,
[00:39:44] among the announced initiatives are measures to toughen
[00:39:48] penalties.
[00:39:52] Let's now talk about the Middle East, because Iran and Oman are advancing an agreement to
[00:39:56] coordinate the transit of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:40:00] one of the most important maritime routes for global oil and gas trade.
[00:40:04] According to the Iranian government, both countries have already defined a shipping
[00:40:07] corridor and are working on a joint declaration to
[00:40:11] regulate the management of the passage, although they warned that the process will
[00:40:14] depend on no new external obstacles arising. Iranian
[00:40:17] plan for possible climatic authorities clarified that an eventual
[00:40:21] understanding with Oman does not mean that the route will be completely
[00:40:24] safe for all
[00:40:30] tensions in the Middle East conflict, after Iran assumed de facto
[00:40:33] control of this strategic waterway. Its interruption
[00:40:37] has caused repeated increases in international oil prices
[00:40:40] and has increased pressure to reach a solution that allows
[00:40:44] the normalization of maritime
[00:40:46] transit.
[00:40:51] This is happening within the framework of the conflict between the United States and Iran, but let's now go to
[00:40:55] Eastern Europe to see what is happening.
[00:40:57] between Russia and Ukraine because Moscow's missile and drone
[00:41:01] attacks killed at least 17 people
[00:41:05] in Kyiv and its surroundings in a new offensive
[00:41:08] against the Ukrainian capital.
[00:41:11] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded more
[00:41:15] missile interceptors from his allies, a type of weapon increasingly used
[00:41:19] by Russia due to the lack of defense equipment and ammunition in
[00:41:22] Kyiv. According to a military report, in the last attack Ukrainian
[00:41:26] defenses could not intercept any of the 28
[00:41:29] missiles launched by Moscow.
[00:41:33] Last night was simply horrible. For the first time, the
[00:41:36] lack of ballistic missile defense was strongly felt.
[00:41:39] The house was shaking. I want to leave Kyiv as soon as possible so that this
[00:41:43] horror, this nightmare ends, because it's impossible
[00:41:46] to sleep, it's impossible to work, it has simply become
[00:41:49] impossible to live in Kyiv.
[00:41:52] These projectiles fly at a very high speed and can only be
[00:41:56] shot down by US Patriot air defense
[00:41:59] systems. Ukraine has very few of these
[00:42:02] systems and its ammunition is scarce. The Russian
[00:42:05] Ministry of Defense stated in a communiqué that it had attacked transport
[00:42:09] and distribution centers which, according to Moscow, stored or
[00:42:13] supplied military equipment and
[00:42:16] review other events in Europe, because four men were
[00:42:20] injured after an attack with a sharp object in the Convent
[00:42:23] Garden area, in central London, while a 47-year-old
[00:42:26] woman was arrested by the police as the main
[00:42:30] suspect. The authorities reported that scissors were
[00:42:33] seized at the scene and indicated that initial investigations
[00:42:37] suggest that the incident was related to a mental
[00:42:40] health problem of the detainee. The injured, aged between
[00:42:44] 34 and 52, were attended by emergency
[00:42:47] services and transferred to a specialized center for
[00:42:51] treatment.
[00:42:57] Let's conclude in Oceania with a curious incident because a New Zealand
[00:43:01] councilwoman went viral after participating via
[00:43:04] video conference in an official meeting from her home
[00:43:08] bathroom, a scene that caused laughter among the
[00:43:11] attendees and thousands of reactions on social
[00:43:14] media. During this session, a colleague warned her that the camera
[00:43:18] showed part of the clothes hanging, but the official
[00:43:22] responded naturally and continued with the meeting without
[00:43:26] changing her location. The video quickly spread on
[00:43:29] the internet where users also commented on the appearance of a
[00:43:33] figure in the background of the image, a detail that increased
[00:43:38] social media. A curious fact also in New Zealand
[00:43:42] politics, this official continued the meeting even though
[00:43:46] she was in her bathroom and did not change her
[00:43:48] location.
[00:46:54] Live on the front page to start the round of interviews,
[00:46:57] we commented very early, today officially begins the
[00:47:00] dialogue between government and opposition already announced, remembering
[00:47:03] that it had been scheduled for August 1st, the statement was
[00:47:07] given that it would start this week, officially today in the
[00:47:11] afternoon, after noon, the installation of this meeting between the parties is expected, to
[00:47:15] analyze what will be precisely this
[00:47:18] afternoon in this political environment for Venezuela, we have with us the councilman of
[00:47:22] the El Hatillo municipality, Yulio Chelini Ramos, also
[00:47:25] a university professor,
[00:47:35] known last night, the details were given
[00:47:39] that it would start at 1 pm, this in La
[00:47:42] Carlota in the Simón Bolívar Park, in this convention center, the return of former
[00:47:46] deputy Dinora Figuera to Venezuelan territory
[00:47:49] was also very immediate yesterday.
[00:47:53] entry through the state and already knowing the situation of air terminals in Venezuela
[00:47:56] after July 24th, also this participation by
[00:48:00] the government led by Jorge Rodríguez, President of the
[00:48:03] Assembly, and various details have already been announced regarding
[00:48:07] who will make up these commissions and the points on the
[00:48:10] agenda, let's say, this is the starting point. Well, I think
[00:48:13] that first of all we must make a reflection on the importance
[00:48:17] of dialogue and negotiation as basic
[00:48:21] elements, almost existential elements of political
[00:48:24] activity that some of us have
[00:48:28] always said and have
[00:48:31] been heralds
[00:48:34] of dialogue, not as a great
[00:48:37] necessity that Venezuelan society has to be able to
[00:48:40] understand each other, so that political actors can recognize each other, which
[00:48:44] is something that has been missing in recent years
[00:48:48] not what dialogue is and what negotiation is as a mechanism
[00:48:51] to solve the great problems that Venezuelan society
[00:48:55] has and that society as a
[00:48:58] whole has been unable to advance around, let's say,
[00:49:02] its great problems, its great needs, the great
[00:49:05] demands it requires because political actors
[00:49:08] have not been able to reach the necessary
[00:49:11] understanding, so even though
[00:49:14] it happened on January 3rd,
[00:49:17] well, the paths are leading us to negotiation, that
[00:49:20] is, even when there was a situation of
[00:49:23] force, the path ends up leading us to
[00:49:27] negotiation, something we have been saying for years, I remember that many times,
[00:49:31] probably even in this same space, we said that,
[00:49:34] even if the government had accepted the result of July
[00:49:38] 28th, even if
[00:49:40] there were, let's say, eh, let's say,
[00:49:43] solutions of force or elements of force,
[00:49:47] the situation in Venezuela would always lead to
[00:49:50] a negotiation process, why in the end?
[00:49:53] Political actors are human beings and they constitute
[00:49:56] a reality within the country,
[00:50:00] for which they must understand each other, and that is a little bit what is happening at
[00:50:04] the present moment and I believe that this is very
[00:50:08] important for the country what has been announced and what today must
[00:50:11] formally begin. Now, despite this characteristic that
[00:50:15] the United States has as
[00:50:18] a monitor of that agenda and what the
[00:50:22] development of this dialogue will be, there are dissatisfactions, for
[00:50:25] example, we talk about the government delegation and it has not
[00:50:28] had severe questioning regarding, I believe
[00:50:32] that at this moment the important thing is to value the
[00:50:35] dialogue, the negotiation, the effort as a whole, it must be
[00:50:39] valued positively, we must unite around that
[00:50:42] effort to support it as a country, as a society, as
[00:50:46] political actors, we cannot be petty because
[00:50:49] we are not there, because we are not part of
[00:50:53] the negotiation table, so,
[00:50:56] throwing darts at that
[00:51:00] effort when in the end what interests us is the agenda. I positively value many
[00:51:03] of those who are
[00:51:07] the opposition, starting with Dinora Figuera herself, who is an absolutely
[00:51:10] integral, absolutely respectable,
[00:51:14] hardworking person with a resume that
[00:51:17] deserves the respect and admiration of the people and therefore
[00:51:21] I personally feel very calm and very
[00:51:24] serene that she is
[00:51:28] the Venezuelan opposition because I also trust
[00:51:31] eh her rectitude, I trust in her
[00:51:35] good intention, I trust that she knows
[00:51:38] perfectly the role she is called to play without
[00:51:41] fanfare, without seeking, let's say,
[00:51:45] any kind of protagonism and I
[00:52:05] which is with the accompaniment and promotion of the United States of America, but
[00:52:08] also
[00:52:12] the fact that an agenda has already been set in which
[00:52:16] both the government and the opposition in this case have
[00:52:19] said that a fundamental
[00:52:23] the agenda is the issue of reinstitutionalization, of the
[00:52:26] strengthening of democracy. We are in an absolutely deinstitutionalized
[00:52:30] country, in ruins from an institutional
[00:52:33] point of view and even more from a democratic point of view, a country where the
[00:52:37] constitutional thread was broken a long time ago
[00:52:40] and let this negotiation process
[00:52:44] serve to give shape to the institutional changes that need to be
[00:52:47] made, the great task of discussing about the
[00:52:51] pre and post-electoral guarantees for all actors involved
[00:52:55] in the process and especially for Venezuelan society to be able
[00:52:58] to recover its right to elect and
[00:53:01] decide its future by popular vote as it should be. And as it
[00:53:05] is also in the constitution, councilman, we are going to take a
[00:53:09] the agenda that talks about the attention to victims, but when it comes
[00:53:12] to breaking it down, this has several economic aspects,
[00:53:16] political aspects of the condition that the Venezuelan government has to
[00:53:20] precisely receive these contributions or special
[00:53:24] credits from multilateral organizations, when we come back from the break,
[00:53:27] we will detail it.

[00:54:30] to have on August 12th and the lunar
[00:54:33] eclipse that we are going to have on August 28th. Belkis
[00:54:37] Fenchui. Saturday, 7 in the morning on
[00:54:40] Globovisión.
[00:56:42] regarding the participants and the support
[00:56:46] also complaints that have received or criticisms that have
[00:56:50] received these delegations, in the first point
[00:56:53] the priority is attention to victims to families affected by the
[00:56:57] earthquakes of June 24th, this is broken down into
[00:57:01] different different aspects and
[00:57:05] the way to receive support from multilateral
[00:57:08] entities from other countries, from other funds or special credits is
[00:57:12] one of the most striking precisely
[00:57:14] because of these limitations that Venezuela
[00:57:17] has from the point of view of sanctions, sanctions
[00:57:21] end up coming out repeatedly in different
[00:57:24] conversations, let's talk about this condition that exists at this moment
[00:57:28] to receive aid, in the first instance to receive aid from
[00:57:31] abroad, well, first of all it is logical
[00:57:35] eh due to the current
[00:57:37] context that the first point
[00:57:41] eh of the dialogue should be the agreements that
[00:57:44] have to be produced around eh
[00:57:47] well, solving the issue of Venezuela's recognition before
[00:57:51] international bodies, which in recent years has been a very limited
[00:57:54] recognition and therefore the republic's access
[00:57:58] to eh
[00:58:01] certain resources that it has eh in
[00:58:05] international bodies, not in foreign banks, in
[00:58:09] multilateral organizations
[00:58:11] and in that sense, well, I think it is very important that this
[00:58:15] can happen, that the 2015 Assembly
[00:58:18] acts in the instances in which it must act in order to
[00:58:22] obtain the necessary funds, with which I must also say that
[00:58:25] it is important that there is a mechanism that has been agreed upon in the
[00:58:29] negotiation table to be able to monitor
[00:58:32] eh well, the transit of those
[00:58:36] resources and their proper utilization
[00:58:39] precisely in the recovery that is so
[00:58:42] needed by those who have been deeply affected
[00:58:45] by the double seismic event of June 24th, who are
[00:58:49] tens of thousands of people who are waiting for those resources, so I pray
[00:58:53] that those resources can arrive as soon
[00:58:56] as possible so that eh both the international
[00:59:00] community understands the reality that Venezuela is experiencing at the present time,
[00:59:04] and that in the instances where the National Assembly of 2015
[00:59:07] has recognition, it can do so as soon as possible, those resources
[00:59:11] come to the country and are used correctly and with the
[00:59:15] proper eh the proper mechanisms of control to
[00:59:19] verify that those resources are indeed being invested in what
[00:59:22] they should be invested in, so I have no doubt about the
[00:59:25] importance of this first point on the agenda, which
[00:59:29] is also the priority of all Venezuelans that this can be
[00:59:32] so, but eh it is important to take into
[00:59:35] consideration that while it is true that eh it must
[00:59:39] be addressed urgently, whether it is a topic
[00:59:42] of the devastation after the
[00:59:45] double seismic event, its consequences and reconstruction that the country is called to,
[00:59:49] of course it is important and urgent,
[00:59:52] but also important and urgent is the issue of re-institutionalization
[00:59:56] that can go hand in hand, that is, here we cannot conceive
[01:00:00] that a stage of recovery that can take years
[01:00:03] is intended to be proposed and then at the end of that
[01:00:06] stage we would deal with the issues related to
[01:00:10] re-institutionalization, I believe that working commissions must be established
[01:00:14] eh, the government on the one hand will have to
[01:00:17] advance the efforts it has to make in terms of
[01:00:22] the international community and on the other hand establish the
[01:00:26] necessary mechanisms for the issue of re-institutionalization,
[01:00:29] precisely to that point I wanted to get, let's do this hypothetical exercise, within the first
[01:00:33] agreements that could arise, it is seen as possible according to the
[01:00:36] analysts precisely the lifting of the remaining
[01:00:40] sanctions, they are numerous, let's say it is also a
[01:00:43] process eh of relations, an administrative process that will be
[01:00:47] complex, but let's do this exercise of
[01:00:50] supposition, sanctions are lifted and
[01:00:53] there is this liberation or this new permit, this
[01:00:56] new freedom to receive the management of resources, what
[01:01:00] would be in this scenario, let's say it happens expeditiously
[01:01:04] thanks to this meeting or to this series of
[01:01:07] meetings this scenario of a
[01:01:10] budget without sanctions, well eh
[01:01:14] I believe that the new political reality. of the
[01:01:17] country, eh, the determining presence of
[01:01:21] the United States at this moment in
[01:01:24] Venezuela and eh also the situation eh
[01:01:28] let's say of the double earthquake eh calls us
[01:01:31] to reflect on the issue of sanctions, that is, sanctions
[01:01:34] continue to be a very big obstacle and impediment
[01:01:38] for Venezuelan society itself that before the sanctions
[01:01:41] certainly eh was already experiencing a terrible,
[01:01:45] catastrophic situation from an economic point of view. that sanctions obviously
[01:01:49] aggravated, we on many occasions said that
[01:01:52] eh sanctions, in any case, as a political
[01:01:55] strategy were or had to be seen
[01:01:59] as a means, not as an end, eh, now the United
[01:02:03] States finds itself with a complex reality to be able to
[01:02:06] lift sanctions, because it is not as simple as a
[01:02:10] resolution, as the signing of a resolution and that's it, but rather
[01:02:14] there is a whole framework, a scaffolding, eh, let's say,
[01:02:18] eh after all these years of sanctions that will take time
[01:02:21] to dismantle, but I think it needs to be accelerated as much as possible, because
[01:02:25] even sanctions continue to be an obstacle for
[01:02:28] the Americans interested in investing in our country and
[01:02:32] foreigners from other countries as well, that is, there is still a lot of
[01:02:36] resistance to investment in Venezuela because sanctions
[01:02:39] are still there, so I think we need to
[01:02:42] understand that if the goal of
[01:02:45] government, well I think the country is quite on track for that, because
[01:02:49] the United States also decided to escalate its strategy and use a
[01:02:52] mechanism of force, if sanctions were a mechanism
[01:02:55] precisely to pressure, without the use of force
[01:02:58] eh
[01:03:00] let's say the force in terms
[01:03:02] of brute force, not what
[01:03:06] we saw on January 3rd, but in the end they decided to escalate, so sanctions
[01:03:10] definitely lose meaning and therefore this has to
[01:03:13] be reviewed as soon as possible, now, taking advantage of your role as a lawyer and university
[01:03:17] professor, the reform of the
[01:03:19] judicial power is already underway, you are
[01:03:23] touching on the point of
[01:03:26] is also part of this agenda. of the dialogue between government and
[01:03:30] opposition that formally begins is true, that is, how are we going to
[01:03:34] the progress of this reform and its incidence, you have just
[01:03:37] touched on the topic of investors, legal certainty and it goes hand
[01:03:43] figures are the ones who guarantee a transparent environment when it comes to a
[01:03:47] conciliation, when it comes to a claim, when it comes
[01:03:50] to precisely eh making
[01:03:53] that legal system or legal framework more solid, more robust
[01:03:56] for everything that has to do with Venezuela, not only for the citizen who
[01:04:00] expects, let's say, the administration of justice, but precisely also for the businesses that Venezuela
[01:04:04] is doing at this moment, well, I
[01:04:07] first of all reclaim the certainty that Venezuelans need
[01:04:10] and that for many years they have not had
[01:04:14] eh in access to institutions for the resolution of their problems, for the
[01:04:17] vindications they expect, that is to say, eh Venezuelans
[01:04:20] eh eh have institutions that
[01:04:24] are absolutely devastated and that requires urgent
[01:04:27] attention, that is, there are few
[01:04:30] institutions, almost non-existent, to which you can, you can
[01:04:33] go as a citizen and get a timely response to what you are
[01:04:37] going to propose, to what you need, that is, it happens at
[01:04:40] all levels of public administration, so a great
[01:04:43] process of re-institutionalization must begin, making
[01:04:47] the proper consultations with Venezuelan universities, with
[01:04:50] experts, with the different associations, with the guilds,
[01:04:53] opening the scope, let's say in terms of dialogue to
[01:04:57] the effects of being able to initiate a process of profound
[01:05:01] institutionalization, eh, Venezuelan society
[01:05:04] requires legal certainty, Venezuelan society requires
[01:05:08] institutions that can guarantee that the popular will
[01:05:12] expressed can effectively be made effective, eh
[01:05:15] investors also need it, because sometimes
[01:05:19] I hear that a new supreme court is important so that investors have guarantees, yes it is true,
[01:05:22] but also a supreme court to which citizens
[01:05:25] can go and get answers, but
[01:05:29] also an electoral council, not only to give guarantees to foreigners
[01:05:33] that in Venezuela there will be an election that leads to
[01:05:36] a change of
[01:05:40] democracy, yes, that is very important, we are interested in it being so, but above
[01:05:43] all I am interested in the vindication of the vote as the
[01:05:46] most important citizen instrument that we citizens have and that
[01:05:50] for some years we have not been able to exercise effectively,
[01:05:53] at least not when transcendental decisions have to be made such as
[01:05:57] choosing the president of the republic, so there
[01:06:00] is an important role that this commission must play
[01:06:04] and that that is the great expectation that all Venezuelans
[01:06:08] have around this and that above the names that are
[01:06:11] there eh that personally I value
[01:06:14] eh eh most of them
[01:06:18] eh I think the important thing is the agenda and that
[01:06:21] as soon as possible results
[01:06:25] give more confidence to this instrument, now, also within this
[01:06:29] agenda. we are developing the topic of institutions
[01:06:31] and strengthening democracy in
[01:06:35] Venezuela, this definitely leads us to the electoral issue, which is,
[01:06:38] let's say, the most longed for by citizens, by citizens with respect
[01:06:42] to eh the urgency the haste with which they demand
[01:06:45] some type of election celebration, political spokesmen
[01:06:49] from different sectors of the opposition in Venezuela have said that a
[01:06:53] series of conditions, modifications of restructuring of the electoral power
[01:06:56] itself are also required, we arrive again at this hypothetical scenario,
[01:07:00] also develops within this dialogue, let's say, the
[01:07:04] restructuring of the electoral power, a series of demands,
[01:07:07] conditions, guarantees where all parties
[01:07:10] agree in conformity with respect to this new reform to
[01:07:14] this new electoral power, let's again do a hypothetical exercise, we are in these
[01:07:18] conditions, we then talk about the
[01:07:20] convenience, the proximity or distance
[01:07:23] of celebrating an electoral process, how do you see this
[01:07:26] topic that has also been a hot topic with respect.
[01:07:30] regarding that one part is not convenient, another one is, but we are no longer
[01:07:33] talking about conditions or guarantors, but about how close or how
[01:07:37] far, well this continues to be a country where it is very
[01:07:41] difficult to plan anything from condominium
[01:07:45] matters
[01:07:47] eh let's say very particular to the house
[01:07:50] to the great issues of national life because
[01:07:54] in the end eh when you have a country without
[01:07:57] institutions that make decisions when they feel like it, well obviously it is
[01:08:00] difficult to plan but also in this case not only do you have the institutions
[01:08:04] destroyed but you also have a situation
[01:08:08] let's say of accompaniment not to categorize it otherwise from the United
[01:08:12] States. here that will pressure in function of
[01:08:15] certain decisions and certain calls when
[01:08:19] it deems convenient with regard
[01:08:22] to its interests, right, so we have to be very clear about that, this in some
[01:08:26] way let's say harms the sovereignty or we find ourselves in particular
[01:08:29] conditions, well I think we are in a sui generis situation as
[01:08:32] a country eh where the constitution serves as a
[01:08:36] framework more than as more than as an element
[01:08:40] let's say eh that is what it should be as a supreme norm that
[01:08:43] we are all subject to, well, it is a kind of
[01:08:47] framework, we know that the situation that is posed is one of deep
[01:08:50] illegitimacy, but also if we go
[01:08:55] the constitution says that we have to call elections in 3010, that is
[01:08:58] absolutely unfeasible, but it is also inconvenient eh a few
[01:09:02] days ago eh my dear professor of constitutional
[01:09:06] law Dr. Jesús María Cazal said something that a simile,
[01:09:10] an analogy that I liked very much. Well, it is
[01:09:14] that you cannot accelerate a car that does not work, if the car does not work you cannot
[01:09:17] accelerate it, because then you are going to crash it eventually, and that
[01:09:21] an electoral process
[01:09:25] if you do not have the sufficient conditions and guarantees, you as a citizen, but
[01:09:29] you as a political actor too, that is to say, in that negotiation
[01:09:32] table where a new electoral council must be conceived, new
[01:09:36] rectors of the electoral council that generate confidence in Venezuelan
[01:09:40] society, you also have to propose. a series of
[01:09:43] prior and subsequent conditions to the electoral process,
[01:09:46] guarantees for the winner that they will be able to effectively
[01:09:50] eh access power, guarantees for the loser that they will not be
[01:09:54] persecuted, crushed by whoever won the electoral process, but
[01:09:58] you also have to talk eh well, about the issues that
[01:10:01] have to do with democratic coexistence, with political actors being able to
[01:10:05] perform eh under a new reality with all the
[01:10:09] with all the guarantees eh in their
[01:10:12] maximum fullness and also important issues must be discussed
[01:10:16] such as eh the situation of political parties, the
[01:10:20] situation of the disqualified, the issue of the permanent
[01:10:24] electoral register that must be purged, but that must also be opened for Venezuelans who are
[01:10:27] abroad and who have the right to vote, for which we also call on
[01:10:31] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to
[01:10:34] accelerate the processes for the reopening of consulates in
[01:10:38] countries, especially where there are more Venezuelans, here we must review.
[01:10:42] which are the countries where we are interested in having a consulate, but not for political
[01:10:46] reasons, but for
[01:10:49] attention to Venezuelans, where there are more Venezuelans, there must be
[01:10:52] consulates, first to assist
[01:10:56] Venezuelans who are helpless and unprotected in many countries
[01:11:00] where they are, but also in the event of an election they must have
[01:11:03] facilities to be able to register and participate in the electoral process,
[01:11:07] all that has to do with electoral conditions that must be discussed
[01:11:10] prior to the process and that takes time, the
[01:11:14] time it takes, the months it takes to organize that election and for that
[01:11:18] election to go well. We must conclude the interview, councilman of the
[01:11:22] municipality of Latillo, Julio Chelini Ramos, the announcement of the renewal of
[01:11:25] consular relations with those with whom communication
[01:11:29] had been interrupted has also been made these days, during
[01:11:33] the last few hours, some political spokesmen also mentioned that they hope
[01:11:36] this will continue to happen in the coming days as
[01:11:40] this develops, we hope to see you again with
[01:11:44] your opinion as the results or first announcements of what these
[01:11:47] meetings between opposition and
[01:11:58] entertainment, Ecoprácticas
[01:12:01] Foundation
[01:12:03] presents.
[01:12:12] Saving electricity is easy and necessary all
[01:12:16] year round, that's why we suggest you plug several
[01:12:19] household appliances into a power strip to turn off the
[01:12:22] sleep or standby function with a single
[01:12:25] button, replace the light bulbs at home and
[01:12:29] work with LED bulbs that do not contain mercury and remember
[01:12:33] not to throw away those that contain it to avoid
[01:12:36] contamination, turn off lights and electrical appliances that you are not
[01:12:39] using, keep the air conditioning at
[01:12:43] least at 22°C,
[01:12:45] use natural light whenever you can, support any
[01:12:49] initiative that has to do with greater efficient
[01:12:52] investment by the state in the electrical grid. And especially
[01:12:55] help us to protect the national
[01:12:58] parks where the water that produces
[01:13:02] 70% of the electricity in
[01:13:04] Venezuela is generated, in this way you and I
[01:13:08] will have a better electrical
[01:13:09] service.
[01:13:18] These light bulbs save energy, but since
[01:13:21] they contain enough mercury to
[01:13:24] poison almost 1 liter of water, I don't throw them away when they
[01:13:28] burn out, I take them to Corpoelec or the nearest
[01:13:31] recycling operation where I live. In
[01:13:34] Venezuela there are more than 200
[01:13:38] the trash will end up poisoning with
[01:13:41] mercury, water and land from which we feed ourselves.
[01:13:44] So please, replace energy-saving
[01:13:48] light bulbs with LED technology that saves even
[01:13:51] more energy without mercury.

[01:28:49] This Thursday on Kicosis we will talk with
[01:28:51] Francisco Mans, wellness and happiness
[01:28:55] coach. Kicosis, Thursday,
[01:28:58] 1 PM on
[01:28:59] Globovisión.
[01:29:32] On "Primera Página" by Globovisión, it's time to welcome our second guest
[01:29:36] of the day, Dr. Juan Corodi. He is a lawyer, and he is also president
[01:29:40] of the Venezuelan
[01:29:51] of Seniat. I would first like to ask you how the
[01:29:54] association receives this change in leadership at Seniat, because
[01:29:57] after many years there is a new face leading this
[01:30:01] institution. Yes. The truth is, first of all, we
[01:30:04] want to thank not only the
[01:30:07] superintendent, Mr. Román Maniglia, but all the
[01:30:11] top brass, for inviting us to a meeting that
[01:30:15] I want to describe as extremely
[01:30:18] cordial and I believe that its
[01:30:20] function was successful.
[01:30:24] We had the opportunity to
[01:30:26] hear from the superintendent himself
[01:30:30] what the change in thinking, the change
[01:30:34] in strategy that the
[01:30:38] tax administration has with this new
[01:30:41] administrator, this new administration. A point that caught
[01:30:45] our attention, this seems semantic,
[01:30:48] but the superintendent now wants to
[01:30:50] talk not about public officials but about public
[01:30:54] servants. This is perhaps interesting and
[01:30:58] hopefully it can be materialized
[01:31:01] the union. As you know, the
[01:31:04] Venezuelan Association of Tax Law is an association that is more than
[01:31:08] 56 years old and was precisely created by
[01:31:11] public officials, by public servants of the
[01:31:15] tax administration of the Ministry of Finance at that time,
[01:31:18] who considered it necessary for lawyers
[01:31:22] specializing in the matter to meet in order
[01:31:25] to discuss the most important issues.
[01:31:28] So we believe that the objectives of the
[01:31:32] Venezuelan Association of Tax Law during all this time and all the
[01:31:35] academic and scientific contributions that we have
[01:31:39] been collecting throughout these years will be of great
[01:31:43] benefit for
[01:31:46] this moment where the tax burden
[01:31:48] is one of the most important challenges
[01:31:52] our republic faces. Precisely, I understand that you
[01:31:56] presented the superintendent with a system called MODA,
[01:32:00] if I'm not mistaken, it's the acronym
[01:32:02] that, in summary, has to do with modernization,
[01:32:06] digitalization. What does this system consist of? Because I think
[01:32:10] it was one of the requests you frequently made, to digitalize the
[01:32:13] process. Without a doubt, yes. We are in the 21st century and we cannot
[01:32:17] have 19th-century processes
[01:32:20] nor 19th-century taxes.
[01:32:23] In that sense, the Venezuelan
[01:32:26] Tax Law Association has been very
[01:32:29] tenacious in always
[01:32:33] that situation.
[01:32:36] In Venezuela, the tax burden is not only measured
[01:32:40] by the overwhelming
[01:32:43] amount of money that merchants
[01:32:46] and taxpayers have to pay
[01:32:49] for each profit they obtain. We have determined
[01:32:53] that approximately
[01:32:56] 80% on average, of course, of gross
[01:32:59] income goes to pay taxes here in Venezuela.
[01:33:03] That gives you a magnitude, but
[01:33:07] also another way the fiscal pressure
[01:33:09] is in the tax processes. In
[01:33:12] Venezuela, a special average taxpayer
[01:33:16] also has to do more than 200 tax
[01:33:19] procedures per year. That means
[01:33:22] that if the year has 200 working days,
[01:33:25] they practically have to do one or more, and if, for example,
[01:33:29] this taxpayer has headquarters in
[01:33:33] different municipalities, this multiplies.
[01:33:36] With technology, obviously,
[01:33:38] it can
[01:33:41] be achieved that the transaction costs, the
[01:33:45] costs of complying with those
[01:33:48] tax procedures, are lowered, but that's not enough.
[01:33:52] It's enough, it's not enough that it's much
[01:33:55] easier to pay our taxes, that's undoubtedly
[01:33:59] a desideratum and and and we said it is so,
[01:34:03] but it's not enough that the great number of procedures we have to do
[01:34:08] what really, and I think the
[01:34:11] superintendence and the
[01:34:15] Seniat should focus
[01:34:17] on is to rationalize for real what are the
[01:34:21] taxes that should be in force and what are the taxes
[01:34:25] that should be paid here in
[01:34:27] Venezuela. Other issues were addressed there, such
[01:34:31] as the tax on large financial transactions, which is another
[01:34:34] issue that has always been on the table. No, precisely in that
[01:34:38] meeting the issue of the tax on financial
[01:34:41] transactions was addressed, but when I told
[01:34:46] you that we are in the 21st century and we have taxes from past centuries,
[01:34:50] the tax on large financial transactions is a
[01:34:53] tax from the mid-20th century, it is a
[01:34:57] war tax that is completely regressive and
[01:35:01] also generates distorting
[01:35:04] effects on the economy, as you
[01:35:07] know, the IGTF is paid at each
[01:35:10] stage of the chain, if the importer sells to the distributor,
[01:35:14] they pay. If the distributor pays
[01:35:16] the, sells to the wholesaler, they pay the
[01:35:19] IGTF. The wholesaler, the retailer pays the IGTF
[01:35:23] and the final consumer, and that 3% accumulates,
[01:35:26] it pyramids in the chain. What does
[01:35:30] that generate? Inflation. What
[01:35:33] formation of prices. And also, we
[01:35:37] believe that the IGTF has already fulfilled its mission. It was
[01:35:41] created at a time of extremely high
[01:35:45] economic activity, and today I believe we are not in the same
[01:35:48] situation. For what that tax collects,
[01:35:51] it distorts more than
[01:35:55] also, today the tax on large financial
[01:35:57] transactions is only for individual
[01:36:01] transactions, in a moment where Venezuela is
[01:36:04] calling for investors to bring their
[01:36:07] currencies. We find this
[01:36:10] tax incompatible, not only because it is distorting,
[01:36:14] not only because it has already fulfilled its function, but also because
[01:36:18] it discourages the use of currencies in a country where we are calling for
[01:36:21] them to be brought here. Well, by the way, I want to invite the audience to interact through
[01:36:25] x@primerapagina #primerapagina, taking advantage of the visit of
[01:36:28] Dr. Juancorodi, who is a lawyer,
[01:36:31] you can also send your questions. He was present at this
[01:36:35] meeting with the superintendent, so you can interact there
[01:36:38] @primerapagina, #primerapagina. Another of the issues that greatly
[01:36:41] concerns the commercial sector, and I say this because of the interviews we
[01:36:45] conduct here, is the tax burden. Yes, sir,
[01:36:49] yes, we have been
[01:36:52] denouncing, as you know, the tax burden, and the truth is that Venezuela has
[01:36:56] become in recent years
[01:36:58] a laboratory,
[01:37:01] an unhappy
[01:37:05] one, of how the tax burden can diminish
[01:37:08] economic growth opportunities. I was telling you that
[01:37:11] there is a tax burden
[01:37:15] that is very high from a material point of view,
[01:37:19] on average 80% of your
[01:37:22] income goes to pay taxes, not
[01:37:26] only a formal burden, which we also talked about, that you have to do
[01:37:29] practically every day of the year a tax
[01:37:32] procedure, but to that burden we also have
[01:37:36] to add the extremely high pressure
[01:37:40] that exists in inspections. In Venezuela,
[01:37:44] the powers of inspection and the discretionary
[01:37:47] powers that tax administrations have were
[01:37:50] exacerbated in the organic tax code and were
[01:37:55] discretion. This also forms part of the
[01:37:58] burden that taxpayers have.
[01:38:02] Imagine not only allocating 80% of your income to
[01:38:05] pay taxes, allocating a significant administrative burden
[01:38:08] which are also transaction
[01:38:11] costs to pay this
[01:38:14] large amount of taxes and also having to attend
[01:38:18] inspections by the national power in more than six
[01:38:25] the parafiscal administrations regarding the payroll, of the state
[01:38:29] administrations and the municipal administrations, but
[01:38:32] also there are taxpayers
[01:38:35] who are in special sectors such as banking,
[01:38:38] insurance, hydrocarbons,
[01:38:42] telecommunications who
[01:38:45] have an additional special taxation. So when
[01:38:48] we talk about tax burden,
[01:38:52] is paid every day when
[01:38:56] you make your tax procedures,
[01:38:59] but also these aspects, and finally one that
[01:39:03] is economic. Venezuela, for
[01:39:07] whatever reason, has gone through the most important economic crisis
[01:39:10] in Latin America in the 21st century.
[01:39:13] This has resulted in economic
[01:39:16] indices being totally distorted in reality,
[01:39:19] and that is why, for example, the currency, the
[01:39:22] Bolívar, is said to have lost its properties as a medium of
[01:39:26] exchange, a unit of account, a store of
[01:39:29] value, and that has some effects when it comes to
[01:39:32] determining your true economic capacity.
[01:39:35] It often distorts a lot. You see an accounting where you see
[01:39:39] that there are apparently some gains, but those gains,
[01:39:43] being distorted by a Bolívar that does not reflect, so to speak, a
[01:39:47] reality, a real purchasing power,
[01:39:50] then you end up determining
[01:39:53] that taxes are intended to be determined
[01:39:56] on a fictitious reality. We're going to take a break and when we return we will
[01:39:59] continue talking with Dr. Juan Corodi, lawyer and president of the Venezuelan Association
[01:40:03] of Tax Law. I also remind you that you can send your questions and comments via
[01:40:07] X or Twitter @primerapagina
[01:40:10] #primerapagina. We'll be right back.
[01:40:40] we leave. It
[01:42:47] balance tilts only towards the national government." What do you think,
[01:42:49] eh? I perfectly
[01:42:52] understand the frustration in the viewer's
[01:42:56] message. Uh, I definitely think that the
[01:43:00] modernization of systems can help to
[01:43:03] make it easier to register
[01:43:06] on the portals and register with the various
[01:43:10] tax administrations, but I think that also and the Venezuelan Association of Tax Law,
[01:43:13] even in its past conferences on
[01:43:17] taxation and mass consumption, spoke about this issue and I think it is
[01:43:20] necessary to create a
[01:43:23] and one of the conclusions we reached
[01:43:27] in that conference was to create a simplified tax regime,
[01:43:31] okay, uh, there are many
[01:43:34] jurisdictions in many countries, it is a tax
[01:43:38] that establishes a single
[01:43:41] rate for certain merchants,
[01:43:45] certain entrepreneurs, uh, it's like an entry
[01:43:48] tax and it prevents a tax
[01:43:52] twilight, that tax twilight, of
[01:43:55] course, uh, uh, it is an expression to
[01:43:58] indicate that there are taxpayers, there are economic
[01:44:01] agents who are not registered, there are economic
[01:44:04] agents who are not invoicing, there are economic
[01:44:07] agents who are definitely not contributing,
[01:44:11] giving their share to the republic,
[01:44:14] and that results in the need to collect
[01:44:17] to satisfy the needs of the state,
[01:44:21] so somehow an additional
[01:44:25] cost is imposed on those who are
[01:44:28] registered, who do invoice, who are
[01:44:32] visible to the tax administration and who are
[01:44:36] also highly monitored. I agree
[01:44:40] that it is necessary to create the necessary
[01:44:43] conditions so that all merchants, so that all
[01:44:47] entrepreneurs can be registered and all contribute to public
[01:44:51] burdens. Now, also, apart from
[01:44:54] these taxes, this tax burden, could it
[01:44:58] be feasible to propose to know where
[01:45:01] these resources are allocated, where these taxes that are
[01:45:05] paid go? Undoubtedly yes, the
[01:45:08] tax issue not only implies collection,
[01:45:11] but also implies the management of resources.
[01:45:14] The fact of having a national
[01:45:18] budget and having transparency
[01:45:21] rules that are even in the constitution,
[01:45:24] to know what the use and destination of each
[01:45:28] of the items that make up
[01:45:31] the national budget is a right that
[01:45:34] all citizens have and of course
[01:45:38] it also results
[01:45:40] in collection. If you know that
[01:45:44] the resources you are paying are adequately
[01:45:48] used, you feel incentivized
[01:45:51] to pay these taxes
[01:45:54] adequately. So this works like a two-way
[01:45:57] street, of course it does, the tax system,
[01:46:01] also, I insist, should not only be
[01:46:04] seen in terms of collection, it must be framed
[01:46:07] within a whole the conglomerate of fiscal
[01:46:13] economic policy, uh, there cannot be a
[01:46:17] correct economic policy if there is not an adequate fiscal
[01:46:20] policy, and if there is not an adequate fiscal
[01:46:23] policy, we will definitely not be able
[01:46:27] to have incentives for economic development
[01:46:31] and incentives so that ultimately taxes are used
[01:46:34] for the welfare of all citizens. Now, another issue that I have also seen,
[01:46:37] uh, that you have insisted on
[01:46:40] is the extension of the VAT payment
[01:46:43] cycle, for example, also the issue of special
[01:46:47] taxes, the case of pensions, uh, how
[01:46:50] all this is handled and what prospects there are with
[01:46:53] this new leadership of SENIAT. Excellent
[01:46:56] question, uh, from the Venezuelan Association of Tax Law, we have been
[01:47:00] sending for a very long time, but especially
[01:47:04] throughout this year, some
[01:47:07] proposals that are measures
[01:47:11] that are easy to take, that do not
[01:47:14] require a legal reform, that do not
[01:47:17] require a discussion in the National
[01:47:19] Assembly, that can be taken very
[01:47:22] quickly and that have a highly
[01:47:28] the economy and even on collection, and you have hit
[01:47:31] the nail on the head in your question. First
[01:47:34] of all, what we have detected is
[01:47:37] that there is no greater investment by private
[01:47:40] individuals, there is no better remuneration in the
[01:47:44] payment of wages and salaries, because the way in which
[01:47:47] the collection of taxes is currently established
[01:47:50] is linked
[01:47:53] the cash flow of taxpayers. If
[01:47:57] we lighten the cash flow of taxpayers
[01:48:01] by changing declarations from every 15
[01:48:04] days to 30 days,
[01:48:06] reducing the retention rate of the
[01:48:10] value added tax from 75% to perhaps
[01:48:14] 25%,
[01:48:16] eliminating
[01:48:18] some advance income tax payments that
[01:48:22] we have to pay every 15 days and that are also
[01:48:25] calculated on gross income, remember when I
[01:48:29] told you about 19th century taxes, in the 19th
[01:48:31] century it was very, very difficult to determine the income of each
[01:48:35] merchant. So taxes were
[01:48:37] established on gross
[01:48:40] income. Today, in the 21st century, it is not necessary, all the
[01:48:43] technology exists and we celebrate
[01:48:46] that the superintendent's
[01:48:50] vision is towards that, but I insist, there are measures like the
[01:48:53] ones I just mentioned that are very easy to take,
[01:48:57] eliminate income tax advances and
[01:49:00] pass them to the
[01:49:03] the law, that exists in the income tax law,
[01:49:07] eliminate the 75% retention
[01:49:10] and pass it to 25% and also
[01:49:13] have monthly periods as is normal,
[01:49:16] there are even jurisdictions where VAT
[01:49:19] is paid bimonthly.
[01:49:22] That is, every two months, understanding that the
[01:49:26] dynamics of collection and
[01:49:29] credits that exist between merchants are very
[01:49:33] dissimilar and different. So, taking these three
[01:49:36] measures, uh, let's say, the
[01:49:39] cash flow of taxpayers would be greatly
[01:49:43] relieved and we are sure, with scientific evidence, that
[01:49:46] this cash flow would definitely go
[01:49:49] to invest more and this investment
[01:49:53] generates economic growth and this economic growth
[01:49:56] generates greater collection in all existing
[01:50:00] taxes. Also, if you allow me,
[01:50:03] taxes that were shown to be completely
[01:50:06] superfluous in Venezuela, superfluous in the
[01:50:10] economic dynamic and of the Venezuelan market, and how
[01:50:14] was it shown? It was shown in the hydrocarbon law and in the
[01:50:17] new reform of the hydrocarbon law and in the new mining law.
[01:50:21] There we find a list of taxes
[01:50:25] that are exempt for both mining activity and hydrocarbon
[01:50:28] activity that we consider superfluous in the Venezuelan
[01:50:31] economy. One of them is the tax on large
[01:50:35] fortunes. The second of them is the
[01:50:38] pension tax, having a 9%. We have
[01:50:42] even talked about this in this
[01:50:45] program. Paying salaries
[01:50:49] and bonuses makes it more
[01:50:52] expensive for the employer to increase wages and
[01:50:55] salaries. Eliminating that para-fiscal
[01:50:58] taxation that is as unpleasant as the
[01:51:02] tax, uh, the tax established in the science and
[01:51:06] technology law that taxes gross income, it doesn't ask you if you won
[01:51:09] or lost, if you had a gain or if you had a
[01:51:13] terrible loss and
[01:51:16] you still have to pay that tax and two additional
[01:51:20] para-fiscal taxes that are like in the sports law and the drug
[01:51:23] law. The hydrocarbon law and the
[01:51:26] mining law already gave us the answer, those taxes are
[01:51:30] superfluous. Also, to ask you, if
[01:51:34] you comment that to make these changes you don't need a law, you don't
[01:51:37] need to go to parliament, perhaps, why aren't
[01:51:41] they taken? Is there really fear, a risk from the state to make these
[01:51:45] decisions, being sincere about this decision,
[01:51:48] also taking the opportunity to ask you about the first public
[01:51:52] and perhaps more communicative decision that the superintendent made, which was
[01:51:56] this situation of not fining businesses, as far as I understand, for not
[01:51:59] displaying their printed RIF.
[01:52:03] Uh, this implies that there is a new disposition in SENIAT.
[01:52:06] We see it that way, we see that
[01:52:10] there is a good disposition to change things
[01:52:14] that were irrational and can be
[01:52:16] changed very easily. Having a tax billboard
[01:52:20] that
[01:52:22] also takes up unnecessary space, that you have
[01:52:26] to keep printing on paper,
[01:52:29] also, with the ecological damage that this can mean,
[01:52:32] but the irrationality of
[01:52:35] having to display documents that
[01:52:38] are in the possession of each of the tax administrations, in our
[01:52:42] opinion, this was irrational and a
[01:52:45] decision was made that, as I insist, was very
[01:52:49] easy to undertake and was undertaken now.
[01:52:52] These are,
[01:52:56] do you remember when I talked to you about the material tax burden, about the formal
[01:53:00] tax burden, about the tax burden in the tax
[01:53:03] pressure of inspections, this measure is framed
[01:53:07] there in trying to lower the
[01:53:10] is really sought are tax
[01:53:14] evaders, and I want to tell you that tax
[01:53:17] evaders are not in large companies, they are not in companies
[01:53:21] that invoice. They are not in companies that have
[01:53:24] an internal and external
[01:53:27] audit process that is
[01:53:29] very extensive. Tax evasion
[01:53:33] is in a large number of merchants
[01:53:36] and entrepreneurs
[01:53:39] who are not registered with the tax administration, who
[01:53:43] do not invoice. There is an opportunity
[01:53:47] to broaden the tax base and to rationalize the
[01:53:50] tax system. Let's... We have one more message that comes to us through
[01:53:54] X from our audience, they tell us: the problem is not being able to register,
[01:53:58] it is having reasons to do so, in a bankrupt economy, first
[01:54:02] recovery, then taxes.
[01:54:05] Uh, we are facing a dilemma like the chicken and the
[01:54:08] egg, which comes first, if the country
[01:54:11] recovers for me to start collaborating with it. From the
[01:54:15] Venezuelan Association of Tax Law, we do not think that way, we
[01:54:18] consider that the duty to contribute to public burdens
[01:54:22] is an inescapable duty and that it is even linked to
[01:54:25] democracy. He who pays his taxes
[01:54:30] complain, he who is a
[01:54:33] taxpayer has the right to demand.
[01:54:36] Uh, when you go, when you go to a bakery and
[01:54:40] buy a bread and they put it in a torn,
[01:54:43] damaged bag, since you are paying, you have the right to say, please
[01:54:47] change the bag, or I don't want that baguette, I want it whiter or more
[01:54:51] burnt, the same thing happens with taxpayers, when
[01:54:55] taxpayers pay our taxes, we
[01:54:58] are born with a reinforced right to demand in
[01:55:01] democracy. I believe we must break that false dilemma
[01:55:05] between what I want.
