[00:00:06] communities are not limited to
[00:00:26] Venezuela, popular participation opens up avenues
[00:00:30] to promote local initiatives, generate
[00:00:32] opportunities, and strengthen the economy from within the
[00:00:36] communities themselves. These experiences show how collective
[00:00:40] work can become a tool to
[00:00:43] transform the environment and build
[00:00:46] alternatives from the ground up. This is how
[00:00:49] Venezuela moves from its communities,
[00:00:53] initiatives, and the strength of its people.
[00:00:56] Facing the waters of the Caribbean in northwestern Venezuela, in the municipality of Bolívar
[00:01:00] in Anzoátegui state,
[00:01:03] the Mother Earth is strengthening it lies Maurica, a coastal town where the breeze smells of hard work and transformation. At
[00:01:07] first glance, the landscape offers color and tradition, but upon entering, an
[00:01:11] unstoppable dynamic is felt: women on the move, kitchens bustling, and the aroma of
[00:01:14] fresh fish and freshly
[00:01:16] made empanadas.
[00:01:20] A mural marks the welcome and the mystique of this territory. In
[00:01:24] the commune, yes, we can. Through communal organization, these
[00:01:27] leaders went from resistance to productive vanguard. Well, this
[00:01:31] project was born approximately in
[00:01:35] 2018, 2017.
[00:01:39] A group of women, at that time there were 10 women, 20 women
[00:01:42] who organized ourselves at that time when the situation was a
[00:01:46] bit complicated. So well, from there we, the
[00:01:50] women of the sea, were born. And well, this has been a
[00:01:53] project that has been taking small steps
[00:01:56] as a result of the
[00:01:58] planting is, what pig farming is, what consultations and with the help
[00:02:01] of both the government and the municipality of Simón Bolívar
[00:02:04] so that we could organize ourselves
[00:02:08] and carry out this project that now we have our fish processing
[00:02:11] plant and our restaurant area. The
[00:02:15] movement in Maurica not only generates
[00:02:18] their care. Right now, I arrive production, it also attracts those who seek the authenticity of the
[00:02:20] we have the planting of oriental flavor.
[00:02:24] What kind of fish are they coming out of?
[00:02:27] When you see women working, it's always
[00:02:30] curtains are, what the air is, what more active, right? Besides, the name is very beautiful, women of the sea.
[00:02:34] And the women prepare excellent
[00:02:37] food, for example, the fish soup, which is a
[00:02:41] characteristic of the east of the country. Here, those who want to come can
[00:02:45] apocalyptic, the noise of enjoy it. I have a daughter abroad who
[00:02:49] language of arrogance on came now, and every day she was here for three weeks,
[00:02:52] she had fish soup,
[00:02:55] because the lady where she lives well,
[00:02:57] so many people from other parts of the
[00:03:02] at the 34th session of country want to come here to have fish soup, to eat the fish empanada.
[00:03:06] In this coastal enclave, communal strength
[00:03:09] expands along the beach where the community
[00:03:13] is built, itself joins. Women of the sea, the community has been joining this
[00:03:16] project with their sweets. Here you can find
[00:03:20] sweets, cocada, eh,
[00:03:22] cakes, quesillos. They are entrepreneurs, they are entrepreneurs
[00:03:26] who have seen that
[00:03:29] here they can continue to carry out their projects, team,
[00:03:33] team, that is definitely the key to success,
[00:03:37] right? Because there is definitely no
[00:03:40] selfishness, there is for all ages and tastes
[00:03:43] too. One makes,
[00:03:46] customs, what we share just as there is the food processing company, there is also the
[00:03:49] restaurant. The community absorbs what is
[00:03:53] other areas that not all of them absorb.
[00:03:56] More than a gastronomic point, this space has consolidated itself as a leisure destination
[00:04:00] for the whole family. Direct attention from the women of the sea and the
[00:04:03] enjoyment in front of the Caribbean are now a tangible reality, boosted
[00:04:07] by direct funding allocated to the community through the national
[00:04:11] popular consultation. I come from
[00:04:14] street and it would be full of garbage on Barcelona. This is called life.
[00:04:17] Precisely that vitality brought back to the coast is what keeps Maurica on its feet.
[00:04:20] For its creators, the joy and rootedness to the territory are the
[00:04:24] true strength that drives their daily work and attracts visitors from all
[00:04:28] over the world. We, Venezuelans, this
[00:04:31] joy, this great, this great
[00:04:34] spirit that we have to work for
[00:04:37] everything, right? And well, this
[00:04:40] coast, this
[00:04:43] breeze, beach, everything, everything, this is what
[00:04:46] strengthens us to continue fighting and being
[00:04:50] here in Venezuela. We have been visited by people from Argentina,
[00:04:53] people from Brazil, people from
[00:04:58] production, and attention to Haiti, Colombia, United States, many people. Many people have come and
[00:05:02] they say it's the best, that is, fresh fish, eating
[00:05:06] the fish with their arepas, their
[00:05:08] How to transform youth excellent, among golden
[00:05:11] have an oxygen tank sunsets over the Caribbean, Anzoátegui is a productive epicenter with an 86%
[00:05:14] growth in its fishing activity, an achievement boosted by
[00:05:17] 73 communities and more than 6 thousand sea workers, who today
[00:05:21] transform the tradition of this coast into an economic engine full of life and
[00:05:25] future.
[00:05:27] In the municipality of Simón Bolívar, in the state of
[00:05:30] Anzoátegui, communal
[00:05:34] territorial management, with technical training and the
[00:05:37] promotion of productive projects, communities
[00:05:41] explore new ways to generate
[00:05:44] employment, take advantage of their resources, and
[00:05:47] strengthen self-management.
[00:05:51] We arrived in Barcelona, capital of Anzoátegui, an urban hub where
[00:05:55] more than 560 organized communal councils live, on a
[00:05:58] journey that takes us to El
[00:06:00] Carmen parish.
[00:06:03] There, the Casique Huaikaipuro and Ezequiel Zamora communes share an industrial
[00:06:06] warehouse to transform technical knowledge into productive
[00:06:09] sovereignty.
[00:06:12] In this space, young people are trained in administrative and
[00:06:16] metalworking processes, reducer, sensor of the
[00:06:19] reducer die, here is the cooling tank of the reducer die,
[00:06:22] not only to prepare steel wire rod,
[00:06:25] but to ensure that the social leadership of the communities transcends
[00:06:29] territorial work and is consolidated into productive companies.
[00:06:33] This has been supported by Ince as an institution that we started
[00:06:36] because we, the spokespeople, are just spokespeople,
[00:06:39] people who defend the social, the political in the
[00:06:42] territory, we seek to solve a problem, but now
[00:06:45] we have transcended from the local, from confinement and we have reached
[00:06:48] the topic of productive empowerment, which is this company,
[00:06:52] not only does the Ezequiel Zamora commune have this company as
[00:06:55] such, of part of evaluating it, but it also
[00:06:59] has what is the transport company, a company
[00:07:03] that is of Fruto Viva that you will know the experience that is about
[00:07:06] recycling together with the Casique Guaiqueai
[00:07:09] Puro commune. Between machines and organization, youth takes the lead to
[00:07:13] put into practice what has been learned, demonstrating that with discipline and
[00:07:16] technical training, the community takes control of its own
[00:07:19] production,
[00:07:23] a technical rigor that demands precision in the maintenance and constant
[00:07:27] calibration of the machines to guarantee the success of each operating
[00:07:30] cycle. Okay, this is the main
[00:07:33] brain of these machines since each frequency variator that you are seeing here
[00:07:37] controls a cycle of each motor. Each motor
[00:07:40] is eh calibrated. For, from one point, each
[00:07:44] motor goes up two points. If a motor goes up in
[00:07:48] value, the wires will break and that cannot be allowed. The
[00:07:52] variator maintains that constant speed one
[00:07:55] over another, that is, 1
[00:07:58] and a half, two, two and a half, successively. In this same
[00:08:01] warehouse, the Ezequiel Zamora commune also promotes a recycling
[00:08:05] project where the collection of solid waste is transformed into raw material and
[00:08:09] environmental awareness for the surroundings. Ready, today we are
[00:08:12] here selecting the plastic, which
[00:08:15] comes from the communities around the
[00:08:18] commune. Today here, as you can see, we are
[00:08:22] selecting the plastic, we have machinery which
[00:08:26] drives us to have the impulse of the
[00:08:30] raw material as such, focusing
[00:08:33] on the final point which is the work material. This is
[00:08:37] thanks to the communities, we have 16
[00:08:41] communal councils which we asked for their joint
[00:08:43] support. We see it as garbage, but the
[00:08:47] reality benefits us in a future. This has
[00:08:51] helped the community generate
[00:08:54] cleanliness in their streets as well as in the yards of their homes,
[00:08:58] because it is something that we do not buy, but the
[00:09:02] community knows the effort and the grain of sand it
[00:09:05] is contributing. A transformation that turns plastic into structures and ecological
[00:09:09] parks, returning public spaces what was once...
[00:09:12] garbage that we decided to promote
[00:09:15] the issue of recycling due to the many complaints that people had regarding
[00:09:19] garbage. So people would throw garbage in the
[00:09:23] streets, you would go to a
[00:09:26] the corners. That was the topic that obviously do not throw
[00:09:30] garbage in the streets, sidewalks, or corners, but
[00:09:34] obviously make from their homes a process of
[00:09:37] recycling, that is, separate the plastic for us to do what
[00:09:41] is through the METRAS, which are the technical tables of recycling and cleaning,
[00:09:45] the collection. And this is the impact that we
[00:09:49] can have as a communal experience, is when we take a
[00:09:52] park to a school, when we take a park to a community, and every
[00:09:56] time we see a smile on those children and see people when
[00:10:00] we talk to them about our experience and tell them, look, that
[00:10:03] comes from the garbage that we ourselves generate. Thus, the municipality of Simón
[00:10:07] Bolívar advances with 29 consolidated communes in local industry,
[00:10:10] self-management, and real solutions for...
[00:10:15] More than 4,100 communal councils and spokespersons
[00:10:19] in the 21 municipalities account for popular
[00:10:22] organization in Anzoátegui, but... Behind that network there are also
[00:10:26] hands that work, the knowledge that is
[00:10:29] transmitted, and the fishing communities that
[00:10:33] keep alive an essential activity for
[00:10:36] the region, because talking about economics is also talking
[00:10:39] about those who make it possible.
[00:11:01] Behind every scene there is a story, stories that
[00:11:04] reach the big screen, discover the
[00:11:08] best kept secrets with Sala
[00:11:10] every Saturday, only on
[00:11:14] Telesur.
[00:11:16] In recent years, climate change, biodiversity
[00:11:20] loss, and pollution have reached alarming
[00:11:23] levels, and the Earth
[00:11:26] act. Avoid opening the refrigerator constantly
[00:11:30] and check that it seals well. Switch to LED bulbs that consume up to
[00:11:34] 80% less energy. Adjust the air
[00:11:37] conditioner to 24 and 26 degrees Celsius and
[00:11:40] clean its filters regularly. Turn off the
[00:11:43] lights and equipment at the end of your workday. Every
[00:11:47] small act multiplied becomes a big
[00:11:50] change. Turn on energy
[00:11:53] saving.

[00:12:37] Saturday, only on Telesur.
[00:13:19] What changes when a community can decide
[00:13:22] what it needs and what to invest in? In
[00:13:26] Anzoátegui, the Kumanagoto communities
[00:13:29] have promoted projects to expand medical
[00:13:33] care and educational opportunities, two
[00:13:36] experiences that bring to the center an essential
[00:13:39] question: how to convert collective decisions into
[00:13:43] concrete answers for people.
[00:13:45] personas.
[00:13:49] On the north coast of Anzoátegui state, we arrived in Puerto Piritu to learn about the
[00:13:53] indigenous commune "Todos Juntos por".
[00:14:16] Through popular consultations, a direct democracy mechanism,
[00:14:20] the provision of its type two popular clinic was financed,
[00:14:23] guaranteeing the health of its members. Thanks, we truly
[00:14:26] have a CPT 2 here
[00:14:30] where we have a very very
[00:14:32] good environment to receive our
[00:14:36] patients from several communities who visit
[00:14:39] us here. We have dentistry, general
[00:14:42] medicine. The popular consultations have
[00:14:45] helped the community a
[00:14:49] lot because they are consultations for the well-being of the people,
[00:14:53] of the benefited community.
[00:14:55] It has been several months already, it was an
[00:14:59] achievement here in our community, well, they supported us, they
[00:15:02] went out to vote for our ambulatory because it is
[00:15:05] a benefit for everyone, eh, many
[00:15:08] things were achieved that were not there before.
[00:15:11] Now we are using it as
[00:15:14] it should be. Inside the ambulatory, medical attention does not
[00:15:18] stop thanks to the resources allocated by popular vote. Well, for
[00:15:22] me it has been very satisfying in the sense that we now have an
[00:15:25] electrocardiogram machine and EKGs can be done immediately
[00:15:29] for users who require and need it at that
[00:15:33] moment. We also
[00:15:36] that was added to the service, very good because it can be carried, it
[00:15:40] is small, it is portable and it can be carried when a transfer is to be made
[00:15:43] if the ambulance does not have that
[00:15:45] benefit.
[00:15:51] Only 10 km separate us from the road to Las Lomas, a settlement of the
[00:15:54] Cumanagoto people,
[00:15:58] where ancestral magic celebrates the welcome to a new school year within this
[00:16:02] infrastructure built by communal organization to
[00:16:05] house the classrooms of 29 children of the indigenous
[00:16:08] peoples. Within each of these life
[00:16:12] cycles, we have an infinity of
[00:16:15] beliefs. Ancestral invocations mark the pulse of the
[00:16:18] community.
[00:16:28] The wisdom of the ancestors harmonizes the energy of the earth and the protection of
[00:16:31] harvests for families. I realized at this moment that there is an
[00:16:35] eggplant crop that they have on the side, that
[00:16:41] together with the rain that has fallen these days, right?
[00:16:44] So that blessing is given by
[00:16:48] my heavenly father.
[00:16:51] This blessing is not simply for structure
[00:16:54] but for everything, for
[00:16:57] all the nature that surrounds us. Built after
[00:17:01] the popular consultation, the new headquarters allowed to expand school enrollment and
[00:17:04] add new teachers. We used to
[00:17:07] have a small school here in the community, it was on
[00:17:11] private land.
[00:17:14] Now it has been achieved to move
[00:17:17] what the community calls public to
[00:17:21] the front of the national road and it is a change because it is more
[00:17:24] spacious, we will have new teachers, previously we had one,
[00:17:28] it is more environmentalist, it has
[00:17:31] more student integration.
[00:17:35] Previously there were nine children in the enrollment,
[00:17:38] now there are 29 children, it will be led from
[00:17:42] initial to sixth grade. The new land not
[00:17:46] only benefits the children, it also opens space for school agricultural
[00:17:49] development, where teachers and students promote the planting of
[00:17:52] eggplants and other crops for self-consumption. Here
[00:17:57] the plantain planting,
[00:18:00] eh, God willing
[00:18:04] we will have more space to plant other vegetables. In
[00:18:08] the municipality of Piritu there are 26 settlements of the Cumanagoto people,
[00:18:12] ancestral communities that with the constitutional recognition of
[00:18:15] 1999, the law of indigenous peoples of 2005
[00:18:19] and the integration of communal councils in 2006,
[00:18:23] today consolidate self-management and the development of their own
[00:18:25] territories.
[00:18:29] Beyond the works, there is the capacity of the people
[00:18:33] to decide on their present and build their
[00:18:36] future. In eastern Venezuela, indigenous and
[00:18:39] communal communities make participation and collective
[00:18:42] work tools to transform their
[00:18:46] territories, because development is not only measured by what
[00:18:50] but also by who decides
[00:18:54] and who is the protagonist of that change.
[00:20:46] commitment into alternatives for food
[00:20:50] for a community in Caricuao, west of
[00:20:53] Caracas? The Valle de Veraca project links
[00:20:56] young people with agricultural production and
[00:21:00] training for work, an experience that puts on
[00:21:03] the table the role of community organization
[00:21:07] in the face of the challenge of producing food and making it more
[00:21:10] accessible.
[00:21:14] In the southwest of the Venezuelan capital, we delve into Caricuao, an ecological
[00:21:17] parish with more than 130,000 inhabitants, where the
[00:21:21] UT3 CC2 zoo commune operates, the Valle de Veraca Youth
[00:21:25] Agricultural Training Center.
[00:21:28] We begin our tour in the local nursery, a space equipped with
[00:21:32] 24 organoponic tables for the continuous cultivation of vegetables that
[00:21:36] guarantees direct food to the sector and productive training for youth.
[00:21:39] Currently, we have a number of
[00:21:42] 45 young people who have been developing,
[00:21:46] but we have had an even much greater number and
[00:21:50] they keep joining, you know that young people interact a lot and they
[00:21:53] comment on things and they always
[00:21:57] keep joining as they comment among themselves about the
[00:22:00] experience they are developing here. They come daily,
[00:22:04] normally those who are unemployed, they go to their studies,
[00:22:07] after their studies they come. The main thing is that they first
[00:22:11] have an orientation that the first thing is
[00:22:14] studying, then we will gradually learn about the trades that
[00:22:18] are being developed within the management of an agricultural farm.
[00:22:22] These are 56 young brigadistas integrated into the socio-productive work of the
[00:22:25] commune, who combine agricultural training with respect and environmental
[00:22:29] preservation. Besides being the founder of the project, it is to involve
[00:22:33] young people and give them training within the project
[00:22:37] and for them to fall in love with this project just as we, who 7
[00:22:41] years ago had a vision here within this space, are doing. It is to give
[00:22:44] them that training on what
[00:22:48] laying hens are, broiler chickens, so that they learn
[00:22:51] for their future and the future of the country. The tour now takes us to the
[00:22:55] Avian area, where the breeding of 3,000 broiler chickens
[00:22:59] is underway, a daily task in which young
[00:23:02] people like Daniel Rizo take on the technical responsibility of ensuring
[00:23:08] checking what the food is and what
[00:23:11] the chicken's hydration is.
[00:23:15] And I check what the
[00:23:20] the humidity of the
[00:23:23] floor is. Those daily checks that one has to do and as you can
[00:23:27] see they are already so big, they already have the skeleton formed, it is already
[00:23:31] what is called fattening. The journey continues in the
[00:23:34] laying hen area, a shed with 1300 Isa
[00:23:38] Brown hens, a global reference for their performance and adaptation to
[00:23:41] tropical climate. There, Mariela and Sillon lead the daily collection of
[00:23:45] eggs. I fell in love with the topic of hens, more than
[00:23:48] anything because it is a very
[00:23:51] beautiful topic where you learn so much. I feel very
[00:23:55] fortunate to participate in this, in the collection of eggs, in the
[00:23:59] feeding, in the care of the hens,
[00:24:02] and I know that this is a
[00:24:04] project that will be both for our benefit and
[00:24:08] for the benefit of our community, to whom
[00:24:11] these eggs will be sold. Here we have 1300
[00:24:15] laying hens of the Isabrown line,
[00:24:19] a very rustic
[00:24:23] hen in the space. Why rustic? Because it can
[00:24:26] adapt to the tropical climate, it adapts very well to
[00:24:30] the space. The process culminates in the classification area, where the
[00:24:34] eggs are selected according to their weight and quality, a task of
[00:24:37] precision performed by students on their days off, ensuring a final
[00:24:41] product that supplies more than 500 families in the area with savings of
[00:24:45] 60% compared to the traditional market. Here I am in the
[00:24:48] selection process of laying
[00:24:52] hen eggs. In this process, we have four types of
[00:24:55] classifications, which are A, B, C, and
[00:24:59] double A. For example, C can
[00:25:03] weigh between 39
[00:25:05] and 49
[00:25:08] grams. Type B eggs weigh
[00:25:12] from 50 to 58 and in some cases
[00:25:15] 59. Type A
[00:25:17] eggs weigh from
[00:25:20] 59 to 69, and double A is
[00:25:23] from 69 onwards. Models like
[00:25:26] Valle de Veraca promote productive development in Venezuela, communal
[00:25:30] projects voted and prioritized directly by citizens in the National
[00:25:33] Popular Consultation, through more than 11,400 polling stations
[00:25:37] throughout the country. The experiences known in this journey
[00:25:41] show how communal organization articulates
[00:25:44] collective work,
[00:25:48] local needs. This process has the
[00:25:52] support of the State, which transfers resources to the
[00:25:55] communities to finance projects prioritized by the
[00:25:58] population itself. Social ownership and participatory
[00:26:02] planning propose another way of understanding
[00:26:05] development, one in which
[00:26:09] receiving answers, but participate in
[00:26:12] decisions and in the construction of solutions.
[00:26:15] The challenge is to sustain and expand these
[00:26:18] experiences, strengthen productive autonomy, and
[00:26:22] convert popular participation into real
[00:26:25] capacity to transform each territory, because development
[00:26:29] is not measured solely by the resources
[00:26:32] invested or the works built, but
[00:26:36] also by those who decide, produce and
[00:26:39] leading the
[00:27:07] courage and remain firm in moments of
[00:27:10] vulnerability. Telesur is there,
[00:27:14] accompanying its people, taking on new
[00:27:17] challenges, celebrating
[00:27:21] victories

[00:27:38] our commitment to the global South,
[00:27:42] because the right to inform with truth and transparency
[00:27:45] is our main task.

[00:29:22] This date represents the living memory of the indigenous peoples of Latin
[00:29:26] America, who have faced centuries of dispossession, exclusion and
[00:29:30] violence, but have also resisted with... strength,
[00:29:33] wisdom and dignity. It is a day to honor their cultures, their
[00:29:37] languages, their worldviews and their struggles for land,
[00:29:41] justice and autonomy. To recognize their
[00:29:44] history is to recognize the deep root of our Latin American
