[00:00:41] to
[00:01:27] help in whatever way possible, in whatever
[00:03:01] country. And how do you interpret it, which
[00:03:25] she was able to get out. Once the
[00:03:45] people who work on
[00:03:51] emotional scene this Tuesday in
[00:04:08] New perspectives and new horizons,
[00:04:11] every day, no matter where life takes
[00:04:15] you, we follow what
[00:04:17] matters to you. We forge a path towards
[00:04:21] truth and understanding of the
[00:04:23] world.
[00:04:35] We are CNN, the world leader in news.
[00:04:51] strength or Hello, how are you? Good evening, thank you for
[00:04:53] joining me, welcome to Conclusiones, I am Fernando del Rincón, I am back,
[00:04:57] of course, attentive to what unfortunately, has
[00:05:01] been reported from the dramatic, tragic,
[00:05:03] dramáticos, trágicos,
[00:05:06] cry, that is, to regrettable events in Colombia, after this
[00:05:09] earthquake, at a time when there is still a great
[00:05:12] urgency and desperation to continue finding people alive
[00:05:16] under the rubble, and I
[00:05:18] say continue finding because people
[00:05:22] have been found alive under the
[00:05:25] rubble. There is a great mobilization not only of the
[00:05:28] authorities and coordination of the local states, of the local
[00:05:32] governments, of the national governments, but also of the
[00:05:35] citizens themselves who are there present
[00:05:39] doing what they can at the same time that the international
[00:05:42] community offers its help. After some
[00:05:46] controversy, it is accepted. It has
[00:05:49] also been explained why by the government of
[00:05:53] President Abelardo del Espriella. In short,
[00:05:56] these are moments in which the priority, of course, and before the 72 hours are completed,
[00:06:00] is the search, the recovery
[00:06:03] of those people
[00:06:06] who are still alive under the
[00:06:09] rubble. We will be, of course, following
[00:06:13] up. The death toll is updated as the
[00:06:17] hours pass, unfortunately. Hopefully, there will be no new updates and many
[00:06:20] more about people alive.
[00:06:24] But the situation is not easy, it is extremely painful. From
[00:06:27] here, of course, I extend my solidarity to
[00:06:30] all my Colombian brothers, my best
[00:06:34] wishes and, of course, our willingness to
[00:06:39] is necessary from this front and always. Through
[00:06:43] this window, we will precisely begin
[00:06:47] with the latest information about the earthquake in Colombia.
[00:07:03] And it is that the president, President Abelardo del Espriella, reported this
[00:07:06] Wednesday that the death toll
[00:07:08] rose to 265, 265, after the powerful
[00:07:12] earthquake on Monday. During a message to the media, he added that
[00:07:16] 3,494 people were injured
[00:07:20] and 496 are
[00:07:24] missing. He said that these last ones, that is, the
[00:07:27] missing, would be a
[00:07:30] priority in the efforts of the authorities. According to the Colombian
[00:07:34] Association of Capital Cities, the highest number of deaths is in
[00:07:37] Pereira, followed by Cali,
[00:07:40] Quibdó and Manizales. Pay attention:
[00:07:42] atención:
[00:07:45] we have 25,872 families
[00:07:49] affected,
[00:07:51] 53,816 people,
[00:07:55] unfortunately
[00:07:57] 265
[00:07:59] deceased,
[00:08:01] 3,494
[00:08:04] injured, and the number of
[00:08:07] missing has risen
[00:08:11] alarmingly
[00:08:13] to 496. Our
[00:08:17] main efforts
[00:08:19] are focused on the
[00:08:22] missing. For this, we are
[00:08:26] acting with all our capabilities and
[00:08:29] also making use of the international
[00:08:32] aid that is beginning to arrive in
[00:08:34] Colombia.
[00:08:49] An explosion of joy and how could it not cause the rescue of
[00:08:52] Daniela Largo Sánchez after spending 36 hours under the
[00:08:56] rubble caused by the earthquake. Firefighters and
[00:08:59] police, as well as volunteers, starred in the
[00:09:03] the city of Pereira, which, of course, gives hope in the midst
[00:09:07] of this tragedy, and another scene, another hopeful scene,
[00:09:10] occurred in Cali.
[00:09:12] After the earthquake, a group of volunteers managed to rescue a baby
[00:09:17] and her father. Also, paying extreme attention,
[00:09:20] they managed to perceive a whisper among the
[00:09:23] rubble. One of them, Bryan Osorio, tells us
[00:09:26] how they achieved the
[00:09:27] feat.
[00:09:31] It sounded like a whisper, yes, I'm
[00:09:34] here, I'm with a baby, but it was like
[00:09:37] a very soft whisper, so silence, silence because the noise
[00:09:41] of the girl continued. All the people who
[00:09:44] were helping at that moment, who were the
[00:09:47] neighbors of the sector, became silent, and thanks to the shouts
[00:09:51] of the person, the man who was shouting and was with the baby, I
[00:09:55] was able to identify where he
[00:09:57] was, and then I started shouting, "There's
[00:10:01] a person here with a baby!" You could see the
[00:10:04] baby's little head,
[00:10:07] which at the time was purple because he couldn't
[00:10:11] breathe. When we were removing the
[00:10:15] rubble, the child started to
[00:10:18] breathe.
[00:10:22] Incredible, incredible story, right? And well, like
[00:10:26] that, it is hoped that there will be many more, of
[00:10:29] course, and that is what we wish for, rescues, rescues, many
[00:10:32] rescues. By the way, both, that is, the baby and her father, are in
[00:10:35] stable condition under observation. The
[00:10:37] baby miraculously, of course, only suffered some
[00:10:41] scratches and a slight blow to the head. Her father, unlike
[00:10:45] her, did receive surgery.
[00:10:47] But of the little girl's mother and other members of her family, unfortunately, there
[00:10:51] is still no confirmed location nor
[00:10:55] a sign of life. And well, I was telling you at the beginning, the rescue
[00:10:58] window, as the hours pass, is closing
[00:11:02] as time passes, of course, every hour is very, very
[00:11:05] important. That's why the urgency, the urgency to
[00:11:08] take advantage of these last minutes, these last hours
[00:11:12] is crucial. This is emphasized by
[00:11:15] the mayor of Cali, Alejandro Eder,
[00:11:17] listen: we have 24
[00:11:21] hours left, actually, we have 22
[00:11:25] hours left to complete the 72 hours
[00:11:28] since the earthquake occurred. This
[00:11:31] 72-hour window is the most critical to rescue
[00:11:35] citizens, victims,
[00:11:38] alive.
[00:11:42] While in places like Manizales, returning home
[00:11:46] is no longer the same. Residents return to
[00:11:49] evacuated buildings, not to stay but to rescue what they can
[00:11:53] of their belongings, photographs,
[00:11:55] documents, valuable objects, that
[00:11:59] perhaps, well, become the only memories of a life that
[00:12:02] changed in a matter of seconds. My colleague,
[00:12:06] Fernando Ramos, was with some of
[00:12:08] them.
[00:12:11] People continue taking out what little
[00:12:15] they can from buildings like this
[00:12:18] here in Manizales that
[00:12:20] suffered severe damage. They are no longer habitable. The
[00:12:24] structures are destroyed. It is not very
[00:12:27] safe to be here. They have just allowed us to enter to
[00:12:31] show you, for example, the magnitude of the damage that
[00:12:35] is visible, and this is the Milán
[00:12:38] sector in the area
[00:12:41] that is like the bar and restaurant
[00:12:44] area in Manizales, and
[00:12:47] it has been very affected by what happened during this
[00:12:50] earthquake. We have seen very difficult stories of people who have
[00:12:54] lost everything. Who have practically been left homeless, who have
[00:12:57] had to sleep in very difficult conditions.
[00:13:01] We can continue observing the conditions
[00:13:04] in which this building was left, and these are some of the
[00:13:08] belongings that they are able to recover from this
[00:13:12] building. The order is to leave
[00:13:15] here, and well, we have spoken with some of its
[00:13:18] inhabitants who have told us about the tragedy they are
[00:13:21] experiencing, and amidst it all, there is hope because they are still
[00:13:25] alive, leaving this building now.
[00:13:28] They were terrible moments. Yes,
[00:13:32] fortunately, thank God, we have life, which is the most
[00:13:35] important thing, but it was a few seconds, minutes,
[00:13:39] but I thought this was going to end. My mother was
[00:13:43] in apartment 2B, which is two floors below here.
[00:13:47] Fortunately,
[00:13:50] earthquake, the tremor, ended, she managed to get out over the rubble, because
[00:13:54] all these walls on the first and second floors
[00:13:57] fell. This entire building has cracked
[00:14:00] completely, and well, we are helping to take out things,
[00:14:04] as we have to evacuate it for their lives. You are helping
[00:14:08] the people who have lost everything, yes sir, we have
[00:14:11] gone out to help, to bring food, to bring drinks,
[00:14:15] hydration, to pray,
[00:14:18] to hug, to talk to people, because those are the
[00:14:21] most marked needs that we have or that each one has...
[00:14:27] There are more than 1,500 people who are being
[00:14:30] taken to shelters in the city,
[00:14:34] temporarily, while they can rebuild
[00:14:37] their lives. Buildings like
[00:14:40] this are no longer habitable, and well, they
[00:14:43] will now have to start from scratch,
[00:14:46] start over,
[00:14:49] but what we have seen in these inhabitants
[00:14:53] of this city and what we are seeing throughout the country is an
[00:14:56] immense resilience and also solidarity from
[00:14:59] people with those who have lost everything. For CNN, Fernando
[00:15:03] Ramos, Manizales,
[00:15:04] Colombia.
[00:15:08] Thanks to my colleague, Fernando Ramos, of course. Help,
[00:15:11] help
[00:15:13] usually
[00:15:16] confuses people. What do I mean by this? That one
[00:15:19] says, "I don't have almost anything to help with, so I'd
[00:15:23] better not."
[00:15:25] No, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how small
[00:15:29] you think your contribution of help is, it is
[00:15:31] very important, because little by little,
[00:15:34] all of us can do a lot. So
[00:15:38] take that into account, no matter what it is, even if you think
[00:15:42] your help is insignificant, it is not, it is the most
[00:15:45] important thing. Please keep
[00:15:48] that in mind, and for that, I ask you then, besides reflecting
[00:15:52] on this, that size doesn't matter,
[00:15:56] but help itself,
[00:15:58] I'm going to give you ways to help the victims of the
[00:16:02] cnne.com,
[00:16:06] diagonal impact. It's on the screen, CNne.com
[00:16:10] diagonal impact. Enter there,
[00:16:12] there you will find different ways to
[00:16:16] help, donate safely, which is very important
[00:16:19] to charitable organizations present on
[00:16:22] the ground, providing assistance to the
[00:16:25] victims, etc.
[00:16:27] CNne.com diagonal impact, enter
[00:16:31] there, see how you can help, even if you think you can help very little, it's
[00:16:35] a lot, believe me, a lot. When we all... from here, I send
[00:16:39] all my strength, all my solidarity, all my
[00:16:41] empathy to my Colombian brothers, also my deepest
[00:16:45] condolences to those who lost friends, family, loved ones
[00:16:48] in this earthquake. We are here
[00:16:51] as a window to help you, to support you.
[00:16:55] You decide when it is necessary. I will
[00:16:58] take a break and return in a
[00:17:01] moment.
[00:17:06] Always here. My bicycle importer said, and one day
[00:17:10] I said, why not? But the road gets tough, doors close
[00:17:13] and you give up, until I
[00:17:16] remembered my dad, "Son, when it gets harder,
[00:17:20] you have to pedal harder." And
[00:17:23] I continued until I found the yes,
[00:17:26] "Óscar, we approved your credit." Your business is ready to write its
[00:17:29] next chapter and we are here to accompany you.
[00:17:32] Go, your story, write it with ours.
[00:17:36] It was important to cover the trial of Genaro García Luna because this
[00:17:40] is the highest-level public official in Mexico
[00:17:43] to be tried and convicted in the United States
[00:17:47] for drug trafficking. It was incredible to be there
[00:17:51] and hear these testimonies and be able
[00:17:54] to learn exactly how
[00:17:57] drug cartels operate and how they can
[00:18:00] operate with the support
[00:18:04] many times of government
[00:18:07] officials. Covering a federal trial in the United States
[00:18:10] is always a difficult task. You have to arrive at
[00:18:13] court very early to secure a
[00:18:17] seat inside the courtroom, but also because cameras are not allowed
[00:18:21] to record what is happening in the room,
[00:18:25] so you have to take notes. Imagine 8 hours
[00:18:29] taking notes of everything that is said, everything that happens to
[00:18:32] be able to report it to you.
[00:18:36] Our obligation as journalists is to
[00:18:40] tell things as they are and not necessarily as they want us to
[00:18:42] tell them.
[00:18:45] We want to have great minds talking about the most
[00:18:49] important issues that affect our countries, us as
[00:18:53] people.
[00:18:55] I have a responsibility to tell the truth, to be truthful, not to
[00:18:59] be neutral, those are very different things. Oppenheimer
[00:19:02] presents Sunday on
[00:19:05] CNN.
[00:20:25] Look, tonight I'm going to talk to Luis Manuel
[00:20:29] Otero Alcántara. I don't know if you know him, Cuban
[00:20:32] dissident, artist
[00:20:35] eh, he's already in Florida. After practically 5 years
[00:20:38] in prison, one of the founders of the San Isidro movement,
[00:20:42] you know more or less, well, I'm going to be
[00:20:46] talking to him tonight, without a doubt at a very important
[00:20:50] moment, and from that movement,
[00:20:53] the San Isidro movement, which, well, all
[00:20:57] hope was placed on it,
[00:21:01] it was given all the support, let's say, and
[00:21:05] it finally didn't achieve real change. Today,
[00:21:08] it exists as such, but it doesn't have the strength it had in
[00:21:12] its moment. What happened from there to here, but also
[00:21:15] in prison,
[00:21:18] this, how he
[00:21:22] saw history unfold,
[00:21:25] he himself being there, anyway, I'll be talking to him tonight,
[00:21:28] I ask you a favor
[00:21:31] accompany me through social networks, but first I'm going to give you all
[00:21:35] the context in case you don't know my
[00:21:37] guest. I was telling you about the San Isidro movement, yes, before
[00:21:41] being a movement,
[00:21:44] it was a neighborhood, a humble neighborhood in Old Havana, it was
[00:21:47] located near the port. Single-story houses where saltpeter
[00:21:51] eats away at the facades faster than the
[00:21:55] state maintains them, which is very common,
[00:21:59] you don't need to be near the sea, wherever
[00:22:02] the saltpeter is, it eats everything, and
[00:22:06] the state doesn't maintain it. In the middle of that
[00:22:09] block there was a different house, the house of
[00:22:13] precisely Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, an artist known as
[00:22:17] an artist, a house where there was space for... that
[00:22:20] in much of Cuba did not fit, what do I
[00:22:24] mean? Well, songs that are not played on the radio,
[00:22:27] questions that are not asked, not even by mistake out loud,
[00:22:31] and opinions that were not disguised, which is very important,
[00:22:35] right? Look how Otero
[00:22:39] Alcántara himself presented it back
[00:22:41] then:
[00:22:47] This neighborhood is an example of what is happening throughout
[00:22:50] es un ejemplo lo que está pasando en toda
[00:22:51] Cuba.
[00:22:55] Well, the San Isidro movement was formally born in the house of Luis
[00:22:59] Manuel Otero Alcántara. It was
[00:23:02] 2018, the year in which the Cuban regime made
[00:23:05] Decree 349 law. This is the
[00:23:08] starting point, it is very important, this Decree
[00:23:11] 349 was a regulation or is the regulation that
[00:23:15] governs cultural policy and that
[00:23:18] requires artists to obtain permission to
[00:23:21] perform or market their art, that is, you have to
[00:23:25] ask for permission to make art and to be able to
[00:23:28] live from your art, imagine that. A group of
[00:23:31] artists, of course, refused to ask for it and named it after
[00:23:35] their neighborhood, San Isidro. That's where it comes from, but understand
[00:23:38] that its origin is artistic,
[00:23:41] not initially, it is
[00:23:44] a cry for artistic freedom, the San
[00:23:47] Isidro movement, not political, at that moment it is against this
[00:23:51] decree, of course, the demonstration is
[00:23:55] in the sense of disobedience against
[00:23:58] this decree, this law, no, at that moment it was
[00:24:02] a decree, now a law. Otero Alcántara was already
[00:24:05] famous at that time for his performance art,
[00:24:09] this is what he said about the project in
[00:24:10] 2018:
[00:24:13] We want to achieve a project, a unique
[00:24:16] project where we can talk about culture, we can talk about Cuban
[00:24:20] contemporary art
[00:24:23] without that being seen as a threat to national
[00:24:27] security.
[00:24:30] But well, it seems that things were not
[00:24:34] interpreted that way by the regime. It gained special
[00:24:37] notoriety after a song was released in February
[00:24:40] 2021. The title turned around a slogan that the
[00:24:44] Cuban regime had been using since 1960, "Patria o
[00:24:47] Muerte" (Homeland or Death), which is like the motto, the slogan
[00:24:50] of the regime. They, in the song, change it to "Patria y
[00:24:54] Vida" (Homeland and Life). In the music video, he appears with the acronym of
[00:24:58] his movement painted on his chest and a Cuban flag in his
[00:25:01] hands. 10 months later, that
[00:25:04] song, which criticizes, of course, the lack of freedoms on the
[00:25:08] island and which became an anthem for the historic
[00:25:11] protests of that year, won two Latin
[00:25:14] Grammys, including Song of the
[00:25:17] Year. In official media,
[00:25:21] he has been called a mercenary, and even worse derogatory terms. Mercenary
[00:25:24] is the least of it, but Otero Alcántara sought
[00:25:28] to break with what he called the
[00:25:32] myth, listen,
[00:25:35] to break a little with the myth built over 60 years
[00:25:38] that doing something independent that comes from oneself separate
[00:25:42] from the state is the devil, it's demonized, you understand, or
[00:25:46] it's counter-revolution or you're against the achievements of the revolution like health and
[00:25:50] medicine,
[00:25:53] and all that was, all that was for the
[00:25:56] regime, of course, well known to the
[00:25:59] authorities, even before the emergence of the movement. They had already
[00:26:03] arrested him, as he himself has documented, and
[00:26:06] intensely since 2018, so they
[00:26:10] continued to arrest him, to which were added illegal searches of his
[00:26:13] home, interception of communications, abuses by the
[00:26:17] authorities in relation to his artistic activism in favor
[00:26:20] of human rights, in short, they persecuted him, so you understand. On July 11,
[00:26:24] 2021, he left his house in San Isidro to join a protest in
[00:26:28] progress, he was going to join that protest that was in progress to demand freedom.
[00:26:33] But, but he never
[00:26:34] arrived.
[00:26:39] Repression, no, you don't stay, much
[00:26:41] repression. It's
[00:26:44] over.
[00:26:48] Five years later, 5 years later, a
[00:26:52] maximum security prison, a closed-door
[00:26:55] trial for charges of contempt and public
[00:26:59] disorder that he always rejected, and a phrase that stuck to his name
[00:27:03] like a second identity, he said, "I will die
[00:27:07] here, let them do what they want to me," he said
[00:27:10] in January 2022 in the midst of a hunger and thirst strike, also in the
[00:27:14] Guanajay prison. His uncle, who brought him the message
[00:27:16] that the regime offered him freedom in
[00:27:20] exchange for exile, but at the beginning of 2023 he accepted
[00:27:24] exile as the only way to be able to continue his work as an artist and
[00:27:27] activist, after having endured all the repression,
[00:27:30] according to a message published in July on his Facebook account, it would still be
[00:27:34] 3 years until his arrival in Miami, to receive a special permit from the United
[00:27:38] States government. The Cuban regime never
[00:27:41] commented on Otero Alcántara's case, but the United States was
[00:27:45] already preparing the ground, and nevertheless, well,
[00:27:49] this is a reality today, tonight he is here, he is in
[00:27:52] the United States, he is
[00:27:55] free, exiled,
[00:27:58] alive, he spent 5 years, 5 years
[00:28:02] learning from inside a cell where they never
[00:28:06] managed to alienate him from art, and now
[00:28:09] he is here to talk, to talk to me. I'm going to welcome
[00:28:13] him.
[00:28:19] And the welcome is for Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, Cuban
[00:28:22] dissident and artist, or artist and Cuban
[00:28:26] dissident, I don't know which, I don't know which order Luis Manuel
[00:28:29] would give to these words, but
[00:28:33] both things are a reality. Welcome Luis Manuel, thank you, no, thank
[00:28:36] you for the invitation and for amplifying our
[00:28:39] voices.
[00:28:42] Hey Luis Manuel, 5 years later you are
[00:28:44] here, and I ask
[00:28:47] you if it is a
[00:28:51] forced exile, that is,
[00:28:54] it's not that you achieved
[00:28:56] freedom, but that they
[00:29:00] forced you to leave the
[00:29:03] of the two is the version you feel you are
[00:29:07] living today? Undoubtedly, what I am
[00:29:11] experiencing is an exile, a banishment,
[00:29:13] because when I left, when the sanction that
[00:29:17] the regime imposed on me was fulfilled, which is a totally arbitrary sanction, the
[00:29:21] regime made it clear to me that I would not walk the streets of Cuba, that the only
[00:29:25] option was to remain in prison
[00:29:28] or this exile, this banishment. And at that moment,
[00:29:31] I could have made the decision to stay in prison,
[00:29:35] but I felt that I had things to
[00:29:39] say, things to contribute to the reality of Cuba from this
[00:29:42] new freedom. Today in Cuba, the levels of influence that
[00:29:48] social media, the influencers, have, are
[00:29:50] gigantic, and I felt that that imprisoned body had already
[00:29:54] demonstrated sufficient resistance to
[00:29:57] prison, to the yoke of the dictatorship. And right
[00:30:00] now you needed to use things that you had in your head to achieve
[00:30:04] freedom, and that's when this exile came
[00:30:08] out.
[00:30:09] You manage, of course, I mean, already
[00:30:12] from the San Isidro movement, beyond
[00:30:15] your art, yes, as an activist,
[00:30:19] I think you achieve great authority. moral
[00:30:21] eh
[00:30:24] that gives you, I don't know if greater strength
[00:30:27] or more guarantees of being heard. What
[00:30:31] do I mean by that? Well, for you, these five years have been an
[00:30:35] investment to achieve greater
[00:30:38] coverage with your voice or has it been a waste
[00:30:41] of time or have you been kidnapped by this
[00:30:44] activism during these 5 years? Because depending on how you
[00:30:48] see it, it has given you great
[00:30:53] has it taken it away? What do you think? First,
[00:30:57] during the 5 years, I continued doing activism. I continued.
