[00:00:00] doing coordinated exercises with the members of the
[00:00:03] national army, tasks
[00:00:05] means a direct conflict with against drug trafficking and against illegal mining, it is
[00:00:09] said, but the questions cross
[00:00:12] that presence, that
[00:00:15] authorization that must be given by the Congress of the Republic that did
[00:00:18] not happen, the president of the
[00:00:22] Republic abrogated the right to sign those agreements or those
[00:00:25] exercises without going through the due
[00:00:28] authorization and study of the Congress of the
[00:00:32] had an outstanding performance in Republic, such exercises must pass, according to analysts
[00:00:36] and experts and the congressmen themselves, it must pass through an
[00:00:39] authorization from the Congress of the
[00:00:42] Republic, also, it is not known what is, let's say,
[00:00:46] the scope of these exercises, what is the commitment also in terms of
[00:00:49] human rights that this is happening, also because it violates
[00:00:53] sovereignty to the extent that these military
[00:00:57] activities are being carried out and
[00:01:00] its scope is not precisely known and it is being developed,
[00:01:03] let's say, with the intention of
[00:01:06] helping the United States in what
[00:01:09] this means of incorporating itself into the shield of the
[00:01:13] Americas and this has a series of criticisms from all points of
[00:01:16] view, so what is assured is that the war in
[00:01:20] decided to prioritize the needs of the territories will intensify precisely
[00:01:24] where there are particular interests of the United States and Zionism in
[00:01:27] rare earths in all
[00:01:30] the minerals that serve for
[00:01:33] technology, including war technology and that has been
[00:01:37] developing from the presence
[00:01:40] of the military of the United States, but also a
[00:01:44] policy of analysts assure of
[00:01:47] kneeling to imperialism by
[00:01:50] Abelardo de la Espriella and that is in
[00:01:53] consonance precisely with the public order
[00:01:57] situation that is developing in some areas
[00:02:00] of the country, as you reported yesterday
[00:02:04] on October 31st, in the
[00:02:08] evening hours, around 12 at night,
[00:02:10] a
[00:02:14] large vehicle, here we call it a dump truck that transports
[00:02:18] rubble was
[00:02:20] the maintenance needs of activated with explosives in the vicinity of a
[00:02:23] military base in the municipality of Planadas Tolima.
[00:02:28] impressive, one still doesn't stop being surprised by It is also said that the base was attacked with
[00:02:31] drones that unfortunately impacted
[00:02:34] the vicinity
[00:02:37] of the houses of the sites
[00:02:41] where people live near this
[00:02:45] Health at the central level and from military base, the result, as you
[00:02:46] announce our culture segment with said, of four people dead, several
[00:02:50] injured, already the authorities are
[00:02:53] present and are carrying out the investigations of the case, they have not yet
[00:02:57] named any responsible the investigations,
[00:03:01] but all this is part of all
[00:03:04] that troop movement, that
[00:03:07] movement, that military exercise that the United
[00:03:10] States is doing, precisely in an act of
[00:03:13] interests that concern the United States in terms of
[00:03:19] some regions, especially in minerals, they say in terms of drug trafficking, but what analysts suggest is that all
[00:03:22] this situation will lead to more violence in the territories, it will
[00:03:26] lead to more displacement, which will allow.
[00:03:30] precisely to have greater and easier access
[00:03:34] to those territories with those
[00:03:37] mineral interests and in rare earths, so
[00:03:41] well, this activity begins
[00:03:43] that people in to develop,
[00:03:45] the so-called Colombian periphery in before it was said that it was Plan Colombia,
[00:03:47] let's remember, and its interference in the country
[00:03:51] with the persecution of the insurgency that
[00:03:54] led to a number of massacres and persecutions of social
[00:03:57] leaders in the territories who opposed.
[00:04:00] precisely the presence of troops
[00:04:04] and the monopolization of
[00:04:06] land precisely with these, let's say,
[00:04:10] riches that the country has, so the situation is very complex
[00:04:13] and we will see how this situation
[00:04:17] of deepening conflict that is expected for the coming years, especially
[00:04:21] 4 years, especially with the presence of Abelardo de la
[00:04:24] Espriella in power. I want
[00:04:27] to ask you what social networks say about all
[00:04:30] this movement because there was traffic on the networks this
[00:04:34] weekend alluding to a topic that
[00:04:37] usually always remained politically engaged, but now
[00:04:41] has great social support,
[00:04:44] with his third place also obtained in Hernan, yes, indeed, there are more social and human
[00:04:48] rights organizations, human rights activists from different regions
[00:04:52] who draw attention to this
[00:04:54] situation, let's remember that this
[00:04:57] exercises are being worked on, that is what is framed in the ESP of the Americas. It
[00:05:00] is a military strategy that Abelardo de la
[00:05:03] Aspriella associated with and that has, let's say, these
[00:05:06] consequences, no, opening the doors
[00:05:10] to the interests of the United States in the region. and especially in
[00:05:13] Colombia and what that implies for the territories, territories
[00:05:17] full of rare earths, full of
[00:05:21] minerals, full of a
[00:05:24] wealth in the soil and in the subsoil that are of
[00:05:27] interest precisely for armament
[00:05:31] and the interests that the United States has in the
[00:05:34] region, so this is seen with quite
[00:05:37] worrying eyes, also, as I repeat, where the president
[00:05:41] abrogated. that possibility of
[00:05:44] authorizing, of allowing entry without going
[00:05:48] through the discussion and the study and the congress of the
[00:05:51] republic, which flagrantly violates the
[00:05:55] separation of powers and the intentionality
[00:05:59] that it is developing in the Magna Carta precisely of
[00:06:02] sovereignty in the country and that foreign armies are present,
[00:06:05] even if only military exercises, but what is
[00:06:09] questioned is what is the transcendence, what is wanted. what is
[00:06:13] intended, how far will it go, there are minimums, there
[00:06:16] are maximums and that is not known, so that is why the
[00:06:20] alarm from social organizations and human rights and we are
[00:06:23] already seeing how the conflict is developing in certain
[00:06:27] regions, regions that there is an interest
[00:06:31] on the part of those companies, those multinationals
[00:06:34] that want to arrive precisely with
[00:06:37] the possibility of entering the territories for the
[00:06:40] mineral wealth and the wealth in rare earths
[00:06:44] that Colombia has, thank
[00:06:47] you very much, Hernan, I am going to add Daniel Guerra at this moment, political scientist,
[00:06:50] we open the analysis, how are you Daniel,
[00:06:54] hello, good morning, nice to greet you all, thank you very much,
[00:06:58] let's talk about the impact of this news, please,
[00:07:00] favor,
[00:07:03] well, this is news that begins to concretize what
[00:07:07] was announced in the campaign which
[00:07:09] is a narrowing of military relations with... the United
[00:07:12] States and to align with what Donald Trump had called at the
[00:07:16] time the shield of the Americas, where Colombia,
[00:07:19] obviously, was a fundamental part, so Colombia's
[00:07:22] entry into this reinforces some of the most
[00:07:26] special moments that have been of North American cooperation between
[00:07:29] there are, however, several
[00:07:33] must be made:
[00:07:36] first, it is very important to remember that
[00:07:38] generally in this military association, Colombia is the one who ends up
[00:07:42] putting the dead and the United States part of the money because another part is
[00:07:46] country to the United
[00:07:49] States, therefore a North American association, although
[00:07:52] it may on paper look good for because it may mean more military
[00:07:56] training, it can often lead
[00:08:00] to strategies that are not precisely the best, I want to
[00:08:03] tell you something about the North American
[00:08:06] doctrine that has been applied here in Colombia and that has led
[00:08:09] us to a dead end, so to speak. The United
[00:08:13] States has a doctrine of bombings with aircraft, camps, like
[00:08:17] the ones it had in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they literally
[00:08:20] bombed, entered, withdrew or removed their
[00:08:24] military objective and then returned to leave the area. This was
[00:08:28] repeated for a long time in Colombia, in
[00:08:31] the jungles, in the eastern plains. And this has
[00:08:34] generated a factor of distrust of this population
[00:08:38] towards the military forces. For the United
[00:08:40] States it could work because they were attacking in a foreign
[00:08:44] commitment against this society,
[00:08:48] personally and because I have lived it I want to tell you that this strategy in Colombia has been very
[00:08:52] bad because what it has done is
[00:08:57] the jungles of Choco, in the Orinoquía, in the Amazon, see the
[00:09:01] state only as an actor that enters with violence and then withdraws without leaving
[00:09:04] fundamental solutions, if this continues to be repeated throughout history, the only thing we
[00:09:08] will have is a greater division and rupture
[00:09:12] We cannot replicate all the military strategies that the United
[00:09:16] States often applies here in Colombia because our commitments with
[00:09:19] Colombians themselves and our initiative for a national
[00:09:23] project are very different from what they have, that is the
[00:09:26] delicacy of this type of
[00:09:29] close with this, another of the important issues is the issue
[00:09:33] of illicit crops, it is also a
[00:09:36] problem that has not been resolved, that continues
[00:09:39] to grow, that has diversified internationally. and that I see
[00:09:43] very difficult to combat with the same old recipes that have already
[00:09:47] failed,
[00:09:49] now there is
[00:09:52] a same recipe that fails and clashes again and
[00:09:55] again, but the reality is that Espriella shows
[00:09:59] himself determined and the votes he has obtained
[00:10:03] also fuel all this polarization, even now military
[00:10:06] polarización, inclusive ahora se trabaja
[00:10:09] I want to highlight Daniel.
[00:10:13] Yes, of course, look, military exercises, the arrival of
[00:10:17] the 300 North Americans at Fort
[00:10:20] Tolemaida, which is the largest base that
[00:10:23] Colombia has. which is a few hours from the city of
[00:10:26] Bogotá, also
[00:10:30] the Congress of the Republic and with other regulations that
[00:10:34] can come to be understood as a violation of Colombian
[00:10:37] sovereignty, here I recall the words I had
[00:10:41] already said, aligning ourselves 100% with
[00:10:44] imported strategy, will end up costing all Colombians
[00:10:48] very dearly, because the payment we
[00:10:52] make, we make with lives, with the future we
[00:10:55] have here in Colombia, because in the end the youngest end up
[00:10:59] facing each other, however, for the United
[00:11:03] States this is an opportunity to test its weaponry, to
[00:11:06] reinforce its geostrategic influence in the region,
[00:11:10] I do not view this type of activities favorably, is cooperation
[00:11:13] needed? I am sure it is, but should it be
[00:11:16] only with the United States? The United States involved its
[00:11:19] differences begin, thank
[00:11:23] you very much, let's also remember the arrival.
[00:11:26] Understood, thank you very much, thank you for this analysis, we leave Daniela
[00:11:29] and prepare for another topic.
[00:11:44] Welcome to the Telesur team in Havana, Rey Gómez, happy
[00:11:47] week.
[00:11:55] reporting that Cuba commemorated this weekend the 50th
[00:11:59] anniversary of the constitution of the Municipal Assemblies of Popular
[00:12:02] Power. The central act for the anniversary was held at the national
[00:12:06] capitol building and during her intervention, the vice president
[00:12:10] of the legislature, Ana María Mari Machado, explained that a
[00:12:13] representation of delegates and workers from all over the country,
[00:12:16] outstanding workers, I mean, received the
[00:12:20] medal for the defense of unity and the homeland and the unity of the
[00:12:23] neighborhood. In addition to the distinction. August 23, the neighborhood
[00:12:26] award and special recognition for the 50th
[00:12:30] anniversary of popular power, among other
[00:12:33] distinctions. We change the scene, Transmet, a state
[00:12:36] entity in charge of transporting public health professionals, received
[00:12:40] a batch of 20 100%
[00:12:44] electric vehicles. The vehicles will allow the transport of medicines,
[00:12:48] essential supplies and other priority resources required by
[00:12:51] hospitals, pharmacies, polyclinics, maternal
[00:12:54] and children without parental care, as well as
[00:12:58] centers dedicated to research and specialized care for
[00:13:01] patients. Present at the delivery were the Minister of Transport
[00:13:05] Eduardo Rodríguez Ávila along with leaders from the Ministry of Public
[00:13:10] Havana, let's hear
[00:13:12] statements,
[00:13:18] it's a new challenge, also a new mission that the Ministry of Transport
[00:13:21] is giving us, because really the need to transport
[00:13:24] doctors is not the only thing that public health really lacks,
[00:13:28] it also needs supplies and medicines for the
[00:13:31] assistance to be complete, we have to speed up the installation
[00:13:35] of solar panels and charging
[00:13:39] is a great project and as soon as it is ready it will allow
[00:13:42] us to continue incorporating new electric vehicles, it
[00:13:46] is not enough to have a resource in a
[00:13:49] warehouse or at a certain point in the distribution
[00:13:53] network if it is not next to the patient and that logistics for the
[00:13:56] reasons we all know is
[00:13:59] affected, with this, without a doubt what
[00:14:03] we have will be next
[00:14:07] to the patient and in order
[00:14:10] to give the assistance response that the
[00:14:13] system deserves, and from this November 1st, modifications
[00:14:17] to the laws on migration, citizenship and
[00:14:20] immigration in Cuba came into force, the main novelty is the elimination of the
[00:14:24] limit outside the national territory, which allows
[00:14:27] Cubans to retain their rights, including those
[00:14:31] related to their property without losing their status for residing
[00:14:35] in another country. The reform also recognizes dual citizenship, establishes
[00:14:38] mechanisms to renounce or recover Cuban
[00:14:42] nationality and guarantees this right
[00:14:46] abroad. In addition, it incorporates new categories of
[00:14:49] residence for investors and humanitarian cases. The
[00:14:53] authorities specified that the Cuban passport remains
[00:14:56] mandatory for entering and leaving the country, while the political
[00:15:00] rights of residents abroad continue to be regulated by
[00:15:04] existing legislation. There's
[00:15:07] more, breakdowns in electrical transformers worsen the
[00:15:11] afectations, especially in the residential sector. In the eastern
[00:15:14] province of Holguín, electrical workers recover the equipment
[00:15:18] to restore service to families amid the economic limitations
[00:15:22] facing the country due to the intensification
[00:15:25] of the US blockade, our colleague Giordani Rodríguez
[00:15:29] Laurencia expands on this in his
[00:15:30] report:
[00:15:33] Two months without a transformer for these families in Holguín, in eastern
[00:15:37] Cuba, recovering electricity means
[00:15:40] reorganizing daily life even if blackouts
[00:15:42] continue.
[00:15:45] It was two months of a situation where
[00:15:48] we were off all the time and for us
[00:15:52] it has now been a huge joy that today they have put in the
[00:15:55] transformer, but well, we keep going forward and
[00:15:59] fighting, so now we get it every 12
[00:16:01] hours. Now it would be our turn from 6 to 9 at night to
[00:16:05] prioritize...
[00:16:08] to make the most of it, to wash, cook, do everything, that's right.
[00:16:12] The transformer that is working again today is
[00:16:15] the same one that was removed 60 days ago, its recovery
[00:16:19] allows restoring the service without depending on the acquisition of a new
[00:16:23] equipment. 60 days ago I removed it and today we are
[00:16:26] doing a division of secondary circuits so that the population
[00:16:29] can resume. All Cubans are suffering right now because of the
[00:16:33] overload of the crocodile in Cuba. And the purpose is to
[00:16:36] maintain. the service as such to the Cuban
[00:16:39] customer.
[00:16:41] In the workshop, recovering transformers also means transmitting
[00:16:45] knowledge. El Serralio Vázquez González is
[00:16:48] retired, but he returned to teach the trade to the younger
[00:16:51] ones. He also has a broken transformer in his
[00:16:54] home. Even so, he
[00:16:58] the community. The director made a proposal to me that
[00:17:01] it was necessary for me to come here to
[00:17:05] new youth. who
[00:17:07] are now rising so that I could train
[00:17:11] them and well, if it's to train them and teach them, no problem, let's go
[00:17:15] you something,
[00:17:18] sometimes it's even shameful to say it, but well, I have to say it, I'm also
[00:17:22] in need because my transformer is also burned, mine is that I
[00:17:25] wind the transformers and mine is currently burned and I
[00:17:29] see my need and I see the need, we have to
[00:17:32] help the people, truly, in Holguín
[00:17:35] around 120 transformers
[00:17:39] recovering them allows reducing
[00:17:42] parts and materials, the
[00:17:45] economic, commercial and financial blockade by the United States
[00:17:49] limits Cuba's access to resources and financing, to these
[00:17:52] restrictions are added the accumulated deterioration of the infrastructure and
[00:17:58] facility, the objective is to
[00:18:02] minimize waiting time. Today we have many of the
[00:18:05] necessary resources to recover transformers and that is the intention and the
[00:18:09] mission of the workshop, to shorten the response time to affect the population
[00:18:13] as little as possible. In this area of eastern Cuba, electricity
[00:18:17] returns after two months, for its inhabitants every hour of
[00:18:20] service counts, it's time to cook, wash and
[00:18:24] recover part of normality. The cameraman
[00:18:27] e de lapera and Giordanis Rodríguez Laurencia, Telesur,
[00:18:31] Oriente,
[00:18:32] Cuba.
[00:18:35] So you can get an idea of the effects of the US blockade, how they directly
[00:18:39] affect Cuban families, two months without
[00:18:43] electricity in that community due to the damage to
[00:18:46] an electrical transformer, but Cubans, in the face of difficulties,
[00:18:49] grow stronger, move forward, as they say
[00:18:52] in Venezuela, a big hug to
[00:18:56] that great team that always accompanies
[00:18:59] audience, Marcela, my dear, I give it back to you
[00:19:02] for today, tomorrow we will meet
