00:00:00the state. The participation of private entities,
00:00:44express my condolences to all the people
00:00:46to receive family members who are in who have lost family members or loved ones due to
00:00:49the double seismic event that we had on June 24. Well,
00:00:53and precisely to talk about this process
00:00:56of reconstruction plans, we see that
00:00:59sharing knowledge, which in the end is what there are plans being developed by different entities, from
00:01:02universities, from the national
00:01:05government, all
00:01:08working on these reconstruction plans. And from IESA, they are also
00:01:12they are nourishing themselves with, of course, working on that strategic reconstruction plan. Tell us a little
00:01:15about these plans and how to understand how reconstruction
00:01:19should be guided
00:01:21today. Well, thank you for commenting. Very good question. We at IESA, as
00:01:25part of our mission as an organization that trains responsible
00:01:28leaders and managers, saw this as an important
00:01:32opportunity for the country to rethink what to do. That's why we like the word
00:01:36"repair" more than "reconstruction," because sometimes it's not necessarily about
00:01:40rebuilding something in a certain scheme, but simply starting to
00:01:43work with what we have, because let's understand that this
00:01:48doublet. It is really because the situation we are experiencing now in Venezuela, not only because of the double
00:01:50seismic event but also because of the humanitarian crisis we had a short while
00:01:54ago that has not yet been resolved, we are still dealing with it, plus
00:01:58other issues. The reopening, so to speak,
00:02:02of the oil issue that is being reactivated in a
00:02:05potentially interesting way for the country's
00:02:09recovery. That's why we like to talk about recovery. So we
00:02:13see this as a moment where this is a situation that does not
00:02:16tolerate improvisation, so it must be planned, we must be
00:02:20sure where we want to go. The planning process has two parts: the first
00:02:24part is where I want to go, but the most important is where I am, what
00:02:27I have, what my resources are. So the invitation to... the organizations that are in
00:02:31contact with us at IESA is precisely that part of the things we are doing is
00:02:35trying to understand what moment we are in. Venezuela changed
00:02:38a lot in the last 12 months, some talk about the last 8 months,
00:02:42and I dare say more than the last 12. So here the context that we
00:02:46have to ask ourselves as organizations, as leaders that we are,
00:02:49that investment fund was set up in both in the public sector and in the Venezuelan private sector, is
00:02:54have. It's not about where do we see ourselves in this picture, what does it mean to be
00:02:57Venezuelan? The Vargas issue. It is a scar
00:03:01that we will have to carry.
00:03:03We still carry the one from 1812. This will already be part of
00:03:08to rescue our DNA as Venezuelans, but
00:03:10we have, we will not let the legacy that they were building be lost.
00:03:14This is a time to start building
00:03:17and repairing those things that we can so that this
00:03:20legacy continues, as happened in 1812, as happened in
00:03:241900, as happened in 1967, and as
00:03:28has just happened now in 2028. 26, sure, but with the case, for
00:03:31example, in La Guaira, specifically when
00:03:36150 billion dollars. What the landslide issue
00:03:39occurred in 1999, there are also people who say that well, that scar
00:03:46situation. It is very, very difficult what 2026 for our country. The case of was also marked there, even for the people who lost family members, who lost their home, even well, it was difficult
00:03:49for them to resume and it wasn't given perhaps as complete
00:03:53measures so that these people could resume their
00:03:57life dynamics. So of course, there are factors there to con... consider in
00:04:00some way, but for that, so that the people who today have
00:04:04those difficulties, as you say, well, in repairing, it's about
00:04:08trying to see how they can reinsert themselves again into their life
00:04:12dynamics, into society, into work, right? That's why the topic of
00:04:15rethinking ourselves in the present comes up. The case of La Guaira, what are we going
00:04:18to do with it? Are we going to continue building homes, or rather, what
00:04:22about tall buildings? I mean, we're going to more smaller
00:04:25homes. What is the form of tourism? What can our organizations do to
00:04:28adapt to this new reality? We are going back a lot
00:04:32to the model of what Venezuela was like in the pre-oil
00:04:35planning capacity, era, where growth was precisely towards the oil zones,
00:04:38not towards the urban zones. That's a question we could ask ourselves
00:04:42in this context. Well, if the new Venezuelan reality seems to be more focused
00:04:46again on the oil industry, which, by
00:04:49the way, thank God, did not suffer
00:04:52promotes solidarity significant damage from this double seismic event. For those who ask
00:04:56if the earthquake was caused by fracking, fracking is not done in Venezuela,
00:05:00and seismic zones are not oil zones. Precisely,
00:05:04what we have seen, the level of awareness oil zones are where there are no earthquakes. So that's a question we can ask ourselves. And in the case of
00:05:07IESA, I take this opportunity to invite you to visit us on our social
00:05:10media, for example, @confiltro. yesa on Instagram,
00:05:14and the website isa.edu.b,
00:05:17where we have not only the catalog of products that we are precisely
00:05:21refocusing, because these are products that we historically had at IESA,
00:05:24but now with that vision of how to rebuild, how to
00:05:28recover capacities, how to build new capacities
00:05:31rather than rebuilding them, but the reality is different, it's another
00:05:35world. We also have things, for example, for organizations whose situations
00:05:38are very specific, we have in-company courses that are custom-designed
00:05:42for each of them based on their context. For example,
00:05:46companies that were looking to leave the capital zone, well, because
00:05:50I want to explore the opportunity to enter the oil sector, both in the east and in
00:05:53the west, the livestock sector, which has also been growing a lot in recent
00:05:57years, and well, the livestock sector also did not suffer
00:06:00significant damage from the earthquake. The cows didn't realize much of what
00:06:04happened. This
00:06:07well, and all the issues we handle both in consulting and our entire
00:06:11catalog of products, which historically, seeking responsible
00:06:14leadership, now we see it as a way to empower that
00:06:18change towards where we want to aim. The
00:06:21Venezuela that was born in this 2026, with
00:06:24all the situation we are experiencing, cannot be a
00:06:28copy or an improved version of what we had
00:06:31two, three, four years ago. It has to be a new Venezuela, a
00:06:35new construct, and you are part of it, and we want to be here
00:06:39to help you with that new, how to recover and
00:06:42how to... build, how to build more, how to build that new
00:06:46new future. And part of what you say, right, about
00:06:49using what we have and also using these
00:06:53training spaces that we have in our country, like IESA,
00:06:56right? Also a reference in this training
00:06:59topic, and that invitation you make to people
00:07:03to join because it all starts with that, with that strategic
00:07:06thinking, and many engineers also
00:07:09talked, for example, about their specific sector and said: Well, we must
00:07:13advance in professionalization, we must advance in training,
00:07:17and well, this is what they propose, right? Also advancing in that
00:07:20training in different areas, even in the business field, which is so
00:07:24necessary at this moment, where well, it calls our attention to
00:07:27see a different future, we must begin to train ourselves to
00:07:31think strategically, right, to do things differently, and the training process
00:07:34is a bidirectional process, it's not only me in the classroom receiving
00:07:38information from the professor, but vice versa, the professor himself, the same
00:07:41institution, learning from companies, because one of the beautiful things we have
00:07:45at IESA, and in general in the entire educational sector, but it's one of the great
00:07:48strongholds that we have strived for in recent years at IESA,
00:07:52is that we are part of a community, we have a
00:07:55networking, connections that help us not only with those things
00:07:59that have worked in Venezuela at some specific points, to replicate
00:08:03them as quickly as possible to the rest of the country, because one of the issues
00:08:06is that we are all in this boat, see it as
00:08:10well, we lived many years closed off by the issue of functions and all these
00:08:13issues, but ultimately the only ones who are here to save Venezuela are Venezuelans,
00:08:17if we are going to think that aliens are going
00:08:20us, we already saw that this year the reality is completely the
00:08:24opposite, sure, it's time now to see what corresponds to
00:08:28us to do and, as you said, with that forward-looking
00:08:31approach, because certainly today there is an emergency
00:08:35that needs to be addressed and that really part of all efforts and resources
00:08:38go into addressing the emergency, but there is also the
00:08:41projection to... what happens tomorrow, the projection, well, how does the
00:08:45country continue and as you said, how do the productive sectors continue
00:08:49and how do we continue to organize ourselves and try, well, that it be,
00:08:53as you mentioned, a new
00:08:56the emergency is an example of how improvising
00:08:59for many years is costing
00:09:02us. We saw recently, less than 24 hours ago, an earthquake point, and
00:09:06there are already practically several organizations apologizing publicly
00:09:09because the level of for them incompetence. For us,
00:09:13wow, it really makes us think why planning
00:09:16is important, and let's understand that
00:09:19in the cases of disasters like the ones we are experiencing here in Venezuela in the
00:09:23last 30, 40 years, because this is not an earthquake that was already more
00:09:27or less announced since almost 1960. It was known
00:09:30that the earthquake that we are now calling the earthquake of 2090 was coming,
00:09:34so that we understand that this is something that Venezuela is a seismic country, and at least
00:09:37in this region, that earthquake is expected for that date.
00:09:41So here the question is, are we going to let the earthquake hit us and have the same
00:09:44level of disorganization? And those are public policies,
00:09:48that issue of public policies is oriented to us as Venezuelans and how society responds to
00:09:52it. But your organization or your organizations or your future organizations,
00:09:56because we are not only talking about older
00:09:59leaders, we are talking about that young person who is at this moment asking
00:10:02themselves what they are going to do with their life, understanding
00:10:05that you are part of a society that will accompany you,
00:10:09which historically or lived these last months, this
00:10:12month responds to
00:10:16and pride in being Venezuelan that we have had with the way we
00:10:20have helped each other as a society shows us a lot that Venezuelans
00:10:23can, because I know many people say that Venezuelans are incompetent,
00:10:27no, no, quite the opposite, what we saw in the last few weeks has shown us, we can do this and more,
00:10:31imagine if we had done it with an organized plan, as many
00:10:34of us have, I'm not going to say discussed,
00:10:38but that it has been tried to promote, but in the end they were just
00:10:42ideas, so the idea is to move to the next stage. Yes, no, and really the
00:10:46capacity of Venezuelans we saw it, right? The deployment, the determination, and I think
00:10:50that these are those elements, well, that are there and that it is important
00:10:53to channel them in the correct way and that, well, they also help us
00:10:57to boost what comes next and for the next
00:11:01phases, right, also of this reconstruction plan. Let's go to the break and we'll be right back.
00:12:56More than 20 years analyzing in depth the most
00:12:59impactful events on the international agenda, the
00:13:01journey through international scenarios, with the impact of
00:13:04images and the power of words, pioneers in
00:13:07providing a space for understanding within the framework of
00:13:11diplomatic relations and current
00:13:14geopolitics. Ambassador Julio César Pineda
00:13:18shows the cardinal points of the events that
00:13:21transcend our borders. International Compass Monday
00:13:26to Friday at 2 in the afternoon and embassies and
00:13:30ambassadors, Sundays 7:30 in the
00:13:34evening on Globovisión.
00:13:37Good morning to all our
00:14:44held meetings with international organizations such as the
00:14:48UN. They have presented these plans to execute,
00:14:51and plans that aim to start right away, also with
00:14:55phases to complete, areas to review, nine
00:14:59sectors to supervise. How do you also see the issue of
00:15:02this international aid and that they add to how
00:15:06these reconstruction plans should also advance? Of course, with pleasure. The
00:15:09UN case is basically using what we might call institutionalized
00:15:13recipes, good practices that were implemented
00:15:16in the case of the earthquake in Turkey and are adapted and
00:15:19permeate for the Venezuelan case, but the important thing is that these are... emergency
00:15:23measures, they are supposed to be very short-term,
00:15:27not expected to last more than two, three
00:15:30months, supposedly while the Venezuelan economy manages to get back on its
00:15:33feet and manages, well, because ultimately it's aid, it's not that they are
00:15:37taking control of all Venezuelan logistics.
00:15:40A crisis like the one Venezuela just suffered
00:15:44with the seismic event in Vargas is an enormous
00:15:47pressure on
00:15:50moment, at the moment. That's why the emergency response is basically while this
00:15:56readjusts, but it has to adapt to the new
00:15:59reality, what are the most important zones, in the case of the state of La Guaira, there's
00:16:03the discussion of well, you can leave the city
00:16:07and the state, to other family members who can receive you. Believe me, that helps
00:16:10enormously, I have to say it here responsibly, I know it's about
00:16:14leaving home and the lifelong home,
00:16:17but the reality is that you are dealing with it, you are feeling it at that
00:16:20moment. Those who are able
00:16:24La Guaira or different places, both in their home, imagine
00:16:28the state of Yaracuy, or Yaracuy, no, it also suffered an earthquake, the state of Merida
00:16:31or something like that that were not heavily affected, the state of
00:16:34Anzoátegui is also a good option to show solidarity with family or
00:16:38friends even. So here's where the issue comes in, the rest of the national
00:16:42economy has to readjust to this new context. The repair of La Guaira
00:16:46is not going to be something short, we are not talking about it functioning
00:16:49in 3 or 4 years, we are talking about how we experienced it with the case of the
00:16:52landslide, which was of much smaller
00:16:55magnitudes than this disaster. Obviously it will take some time, La
00:16:58Guaira, you have to ask yourself the question, as an
00:17:02engineer, what will its existence be like in the next 20,
00:17:0625, 30 years? And we have received two horrible
00:17:09scares in less than 25 years. I think it's a divine
00:17:13sign that we cannot continue as we are
00:17:16doing, understanding that there is pain due to the
00:17:20fact that, well, it's a very beloved region in Venezuela and its new
00:17:23reality is different. Regarding the case of humanitarian
00:17:27aid and these kinds of things, let's remember that these are aids, they are things that have to be paid for
00:17:30later, basically what you have is a quick credit line so that
00:17:33you can solve it and then Venezuela has to pay for it. Obviously, there are ways to pay for it,
00:17:37in money, well, through refinancing or
00:17:40paying directly from the funds or the others helping, because these are things
00:17:44that also, well, at one time were famous for payment in kind, so
00:17:48seeing that context and all that new reality, the invitation
00:17:51not only to the government but to all Venezuelans in general, we have to all agree to seek
00:17:55the repair and recovery as soon
00:17:58as possible because understanding that this is an atypical
00:18:01context, as specialists call it, the famous black
00:18:05swan, and we have had so many black swans that this looks more like
00:18:08a black swan breeding ground, but one of the issues that needs to be done is
00:18:12where do we want to go?
00:18:14We have already, reality is overwhelming
00:18:18us, yes, of course, and what we have seen also on past occasions, as you say,
00:18:22there are different situations that we have faced as
00:18:25Venezuelans, perhaps, well, also in a short time,
00:18:28but to reflect when one reviews, many
00:18:32times it's like, well, proposals, ideas, plans emerge, and as we already discussed,
00:18:36they remain on paper
00:18:40and do not become sustainable projects or programs over
00:18:43time, and in this case, well, reconstruction,
00:18:47recovery, it is necessary that it be sustainable over
00:18:51time and to think about La Guaira, well, addressing the emergency of today, addressing the people
00:18:54who today were affected, of course, doing it
00:18:58responsibly, consciously, sensitively, but also thinking about what
00:19:01you said, what will La Guaira be like in 20,
00:19:0430 years, rethinking what
00:19:07technology, what professionals are needed
00:19:11for those projects that, well, are long-term, but it's like,
00:19:15well, there are many areas to work on, yes, I know it
00:19:18sounds cruel to be talking about long-term when we have so many crises
00:19:22right now, but the planning process
00:19:24is like that, we know how we are right now, no one denies that
00:19:27we are at a moment where we have to help all
00:19:30our brothers in La Guaira, that will not be denied, but we also have to ask ourselves those
00:19:34questions, but that planning, as I said, is sometimes
00:19:38painful, but it is necessary. President
00:19:41Eisenhower said that the plan of
00:19:45the battle, in this case military issues,
00:19:48was not important, the planning process was. Here it is exactly the same,
00:19:52sitting down to think about where we wanted to be, what is the vision of the country we want
00:19:56within 3 days, 6 months,
00:20:00a year, 5 years, 10 years, because Venezuelan history is that
00:20:03we were, they told us we were short-sighted, that we thought...
00:20:07it was day-to-day, something that has been shown not to be true, Venezuelans had a very good
00:20:13what happens is that Venezuelan reality overwhelmed them, because let's be honest, how many
00:20:16mothers are not thinking about what they want to do with their children and that their children be baseball players,
00:20:20be doctors, medics, Venezuelans have that long-term
00:20:24planning capacity, what happens is that reality overwhelmed us. That's where the issue comes in, we have
00:20:27to, as organizations, and as part of that, also our friends in the state,
00:20:31ask the question of where we want to be as a country in the
00:20:35next 20, 30, 50, 90 years because by
00:20:382090 we will have this double
00:20:41event again, not just another double seismic event or
00:20:45another earthquake like that probably because it's going to
00:20:48happen because it's a seismic country and an earthquake and beyond thinking
00:20:52of it as a date to fear, it's about understanding,
00:20:55well, we are in a seismic country with activity that can
00:20:59vary, where it rather calls our attention to advance in that
00:21:02seismic culture, conversing with some
00:21:05engineers and they used as reference,
00:21:09Mexico, of Japan, and they said, well, there what they use is seismic
00:21:13coexistence, and well, here we have to learn that, which perhaps we had not
00:21:16done in the past, understanding how important it is to have that
00:21:20culture, to supervise all the processes and that people
00:21:24are somehow prepared for this type of
00:21:27events and that if today we ask people
00:21:30in general if they feel prepared, we still have work to
00:21:34do there in different areas, yes, no, in seismic case there is the issue, for
00:21:37example, of how to re-educate ourselves or how we are going to
00:21:41talk, as the planners really talk, does it make sense that Venezuelans
00:21:44still live in the seismic zone being such a large
00:21:47country with so many extensions? That's why we have to ask that question from the planning
00:21:51point of view. We already had the seismic culture
00:21:54from before, unfortunately it was not the most convenient and it overwhelmed us. Let's also
00:21:58understand that this situation historically overwhelmed us, particularly, really, this
00:22:02is such an atypical case that we don't need many technical debates, but to
00:22:05give you a comment, simply within the college of engineers we have not yet finished
00:22:08understanding and within the Venezuelan scientific community, studies continue
00:22:12and even, well, updates, right? Like the issue of
00:22:15relocating the epicenter, that is one, here we are talking about
00:22:19understanding what happened.
00:22:32That's why let's understand that this is happening and we are not going to deny it.
00:22:35Specifically on the topic of what we do, again the emphasis on
00:22:38planning is the big question we have to ask ourselves: where
00:22:42do we want to go? Because more important even
00:22:45than what we can do, how we educate ourselves and all this, is
00:22:48knowing what we are going to educate ourselves on.
00:22:51There are skills that can be very useful at this moment, but in 5 or 6 years they won't make
00:22:55much sense. I always bring up the issue of artificial intelligence, 5 or 6
00:22:58years ago it was important to program, today it is not so much
00:23:02because the system already takes away that part of the job, of course, that
00:23:06is a good question, right? The part about where we are heading
00:23:10and how I am training future generations in
00:23:14that area, right? And the issue of staying updated, right? And that call for attention
00:23:17also to the universities. And there is a series
00:23:21of factors also that influence, right, when we review how the
00:23:24universities are working, the financing, there are
00:23:27many factors that in the end well, determine that it costs
00:23:31to advance and achieve to prepare for
00:23:34that future in 20
00:24:48vision. 2 years
00:24:51and as a result of what
00:24:54was this tragedy that really not
00:24:57only affected the air but an entire nation, we
00:25:01had to turn our program into 24 months in which
00:25:05we can serve at least 5000 children, and I say at
00:25:08least because 500 children is a
00:25:12very low number for what we are facing, but one also has to
00:25:16know how much they can cover. Another vision,
00:25:20Saturday at 1 in the afternoon on
00:25:22Globovisión.
00:25:32Venezuela lived immersed in permanent military
00:25:35campaigns, ambushed epidemics and
00:25:39unexpected defeats. Each battle could be the
00:25:41last.
00:25:431818.
00:25:45In the middle of the campaign, a piece of news explodes in Europe.
00:25:50Bolívar has died, without glory or
00:25:54witnesses. A newspaper affirms it,
00:25:57others repeat it, and like an echo, alliances
00:26:01fall. Troops dissolve and
00:26:05hope fades. This Sunday, discover
00:26:08how a printed lie almost
00:26:12buried freedom before it was born,
00:26:15hosted by Inocencio Figueroa Sunday in the
00:26:19news rounds at 9:30 in the morning
00:26:23and 12 noon on
00:26:26Globovisión.
00:27:03saw an interview they did with Vicente Zabarce, who
00:27:07is the CEO of a Venezuelan mobility company, and he
00:27:10said that the best way to change the world is by creating a company
00:27:14that changes things. We cannot wait for the conditions to be
00:27:17given to act. The reality we design
00:27:21ourselves, in a polarized country, the emergency reminded
00:27:24us that we have common goals. The
00:27:27reconstruction of the country does not depend only on those
00:27:31within its borders. What we have to do is build a country inside and outside
00:27:35the country, not feel guilt, but rather
00:27:38ask ourselves, how can I be useful for my country from where
00:27:42I am? And that applies to those who are here and he said that
00:27:46for him Venezuela was a
00:27:48blank canvas to build, to start to
00:27:52recover, how that vision, perhaps of
00:27:55an entrepreneur from their vision also of people who are outside, who are inside,
00:27:59influence, right, in this whole process of working
00:28:03in that Venezuela, as you said, that we see in the future, well,
00:28:06thinking 20, 30 years ahead, also thinking about issues like, well, how
00:28:10is our oil production today, how do we plan for
00:28:14those future, perhaps,
00:28:18jobs, how will the labor market be, issues
00:28:22of planning, right, that include many aspects, but
00:28:25it is important to prepare to have that
00:28:28future and that it depends on each person who is here from each one.
00:28:33Absolutely, understanding how wonderful the phrase is, what's it called?
00:28:36If you want to change the world, you can do it with a company, which is completely valid,
00:28:40but it's not the only one. We handle several theoretical models to not go into
00:28:44too much detail about where the source comes from, but well, you can also make important changes on
00:28:48the part of the state, which in the end is the one that all
00:28:52economic agents are supposed to be the most planned, the most
00:28:55strict, we also have civil
00:28:59society, how do you plan as for this issue, for example, of NGOs and all
00:29:02these organizations that one sees as well, it seems that they are more for the
00:29:06gallery public, and it is quite the opposite, they are organizations that have a
00:29:09very deep spiritual and human background as we are seeing right now with the
00:29:13issue of the water and other issues of the earthquake, which is a recurring theme in all the
00:29:17interviews. Another topic that we can do with this issue
00:29:20of, as I said, the topic of planning is not just something
00:29:24isolated, it is not where we
00:29:27want to aim as a nation, where we want to aim as an organization, where we want to aim
00:29:31as a person, that's why it is multidimensional. There is also
00:29:34the issue of where do I fit in. The
00:29:38company has a very important factor and value and this is
00:29:41really important, but also entrepreneurs are part of that
00:29:44organization, that initiative, that reconstruction of the country, that is, the first
00:29:48as you asked me, how can we see ourselves, how
00:29:51do we form those people? So there is that issue of you as a young person, you
00:29:54as a person with a little more life experience, not to say
00:29:58old, where what capacities do I have right now, how can
00:30:02I improve them? The typical question we ask ourselves is,
00:30:05for example, the issue of artificial intelligence that is very in vogue right now, that we have several products with
00:30:09respect to that in Ellieza, precisely focusing them on the Venezuelan
00:30:12reality where the context of all companies are not the
00:30:15same, there are some that are much more advanced in these areas, such as all
00:30:19technology companies, but others that are not as advanced, such as livestock. Of course, a
00:30:23cow does not work with electricity, but
00:30:26well, it does work, but in another format, and I think that should also be
00:30:30reviewed. The issue of public services, right? Public service, how do
00:30:33those plans for recovering the electrical system
00:30:36advance, and that suddenly well, now there are many things that are
00:30:40added, but it is still within all the emergency that
00:30:44we have, these factors are necessary, right, to
00:30:48somehow repair, reconstruct what we have been talking about, and that
00:30:51somehow also works to activate the productive sector.
00:30:55That and the issue of services in general, well, public services are more
00:30:58delicate because we are seeing a 180-degree change in vision.
00:31:03The state managed to understand once and for all that overconcentration
00:31:06does not work, and unfortunately it has no
00:31:09function and it makes no sense that not all public services can be managed solely by
00:31:15what are known as the famous public-private partnerships, are perfectly
00:31:18functional. In fact, the new electricity law precisely points in that
00:31:22direction, allowing the participation of private companies.
00:31:24Evidently, we will have to do the same with all other services, such as
00:31:28roads, health. In health,
00:31:33the issue of water, which is another one that also has no private
00:31:36participation. Why? Because the important thing as a nation is that the service
00:31:39works, that it responds to the needs of Venezuelans
00:31:43and, most importantly, that... the direction we all want, because we all want to have
00:31:46cheap electricity, but it's not always possible to have it. So why do you want to have
00:31:50cheap electricity? You want to use it to improve the quality of life of Venezuelans,
00:31:54now, or do you want to improve national industry? That was one of
00:31:57the big questions Venezuela asked in the 80s with the
00:32:00electrical system we had, if we were going to use it to develop national industry or
00:32:04if we were simply going to use it to improve the quality of life of
00:32:07Venezuelans. The answer was directed towards Venezuelans and we are paying the consequences
00:32:11for it now, yes, and it is tough, right, to look at it when those
00:32:15decisions are made, at what cost we then have to
00:32:18understand after years, those consequences and that have
00:32:22even made life difficult for Venezuelans today in many
00:32:26regions, well, the electrical issue is 5, 6,
00:32:29or 8 hours and it is constant. In the Andean zone, it can be
00:32:33up to more than 14 hours, and I give this as an example of why it is
00:32:37important that this industry, that is to say, this situation
00:32:40does not accept improvisation. The
00:32:44short-term thinking is not short-term thinking. It is improvisation
00:32:48if it is not aligned with long-term thinking.
00:32:51Let that be clear. I don't know, Venezuelans have gotten used to
00:32:55short-term being practically 2 hours, but we have to start thinking about the country
00:32:5810, 15, 20 years ahead and where do I fit
00:33:02in as an organization? It may be that an organization does not last 10, 15 years, for example, a
00:33:05company that sells long plays is no longer needed today, but well, that will be
00:33:09more for issues of what's called nostalgia, but the music industry
00:33:12still continues and is really now in service. Of streaming, the industry adapts
00:33:16to reality, yes, of course, it updates, it plans,
00:33:20it investigates, somehow it's like, well, not improvising, but
00:33:23looking at the long term, let's go to the break,
00:33:46Banco de Venezuela, because your greatest value

00:37:06industry, how it is advancing in this context and as
00:37:10I said, it is not affected but it is still in that process of
00:37:13recovery and we also saw after that process of
00:37:17making the adjustments, the reform of the hydrocarbon
00:37:20law, those changes also that had to be adapted to, how
00:37:24that panorama is also there and those resources
00:37:27also that must come from that
00:37:30industry, how to use them efficiently in this
00:37:34context in which we are. Of course, in the oil sector, as the first
00:37:37point I mentioned, it did not suffer major damages due to the earthquake.
00:37:41The two Venezuelan oil zones, which are the oil producing regions and Lake
00:37:45Maracaibo, did not suffer damages that
00:37:48significantly limit production. According to
00:37:51OPEC numbers, we only managed to
00:37:55increase production in June by approximately 8,000 barrels per day for a country
00:37:58that produces 1.1 million, which is not a significantly important
00:38:02number. This was due to the electricity crisis in June, which by the way is more or less
00:38:06as bad as in July. One of the reasons why it is not expected that this
00:38:10July will significantly increase production is not because of the seismic
00:38:16industry is as Venezuelan as all of us.
00:38:19It is suffering the same thing that we are experiencing with
00:38:23respect to how to plan this industry, which has been
00:38:27a school of thought for more than 100
00:38:30years.
00:38:32Some call it resistance to change, others simply call it
00:38:35reality. The world, until about 3 or 4 years ago,
00:38:39talked about renewable energies displacing the entire oil sector, and
00:38:43now the oil sector is the one that is challenging the rest of the
00:38:46world. We are seeing it with the case of Hormuz Strait, which is a reality that a new beast has just
00:38:50been created in the Middle East, the case of Iran that can block oil
00:38:53production and with respect to the resources that in the end we are
00:38:57going to use. The oil industry is the one that will end up paying for all
00:39:00these repairs, but not directly, but indirectly,
00:39:03developing the rest of the country, so that it can respond precisely in
00:39:07these new realities, as some tend to
00:39:11call them, and in this case, this is where the issue comes in of why
00:39:16the White House that the Financial Times has been talking about, that it's 13 billion,
00:39:20others talk about 9 billion, others even talk about 6 million dollars. We are
00:39:23talking about practically half of what Venezuela's
00:39:27income has been in the last 8 months
00:39:30that we don't know where it is. The answer is that we do know where it is, it is
00:39:34basically in Qatar, currently not within the United States,
00:39:37although there are already discussions about moving it within the United States, because the point is
00:39:41that they are planning for us, how do we have to
00:39:45do so that those Venezuelans understand once and for all what to spend the
00:39:48money on, because that is what is being discussed. The oil industry, as we
00:39:51said, knows very well what needs to be done. Currently, the situation in Venezuela is how to
00:39:55recover oil production, how to pay for these teams to be able to do it, and we
00:39:59are not talking about small teams, we are talking about investments of up to
00:40:04we have recovered right now is not even 10% of what is needed. What
00:40:07is needed, that tells us that in 10 years we could recover it, God willing,
00:40:11but this is an industry that does not tolerate
00:40:14improvisation, quite the opposite, planning is the key and that generates
00:40:18confidence in investors. Many companies that are here in Venezuela, these
00:40:21mixed companies, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Repsol, one of the objectives they are
00:40:25we believe that we are finally
00:40:29aligned with Venezuelan planning, where Venezuela
00:40:32wants to aim, we want to aim in that direction. One of the nice things about
00:40:35planning, more than having the plan, is that you manage to identify
00:40:39where you fit into that reality. Here, Venezuelans
00:40:42historically lived off oil as an inexhaustible
00:40:45source of resources,
00:40:49and what we have experienced in the last 10 years is that it does run out, and it's not that
00:40:53oil itself runs out, because there are no variables that influence it, it's not variables, but
00:40:57the point is that the Venezuelan economy cannot always be dependent on the oil industry, but
00:41:01it is there to help us. After all, it is Venezuela's flagship industry
00:41:04and one of our added values or competitive advantages that no
00:41:07one else has, or very few countries. The world's main
00:41:11oil reserves and the sixth largest gas reserves. Rather, everyone is seeing
00:41:15an opportunity to say, if Venezuela gets serious, we'll join
00:41:19you in that boat. One thing I want Venezuelans to understand is that it's not that the
00:41:23rest of the world sees us with hatred, that we didn't want to make investments in Venezuela, quite
00:41:26the opposite. What they want is to be sure that we are all
00:41:30rowing in the same direction, and these are industries that you
00:41:34row together and we all go to the same place together with
00:41:37responsibility and efficiency. Of course, it is part of
00:41:41well, of all those areas, as we say, they must ultimately have a
00:41:45plan, a direction, and well, that affects
00:41:49all areas of production in our country,
00:42:36training issues, but also
00:42:39Venezuela needs most at this moment, not only learning, but
00:42:43also sharing that
00:42:57interview we conducted from Chacao with an international
00:43:01organization, Operation Blessing, with representatives from
00:43:04different countries and Venezuelan volunteers who are joining this

00:46:20Venezuela was immersed in permanent military
00:46:23campaigns, epidemics, ambushes, and
00:46:27unexpected defeats. Each battle could be the
00:46:30last.
00:46:321818,
00:46:34in the middle of the campaign, news breaks out in
00:46:38Europe, Bolívar has died, without
00:46:41glory or witnesses. A
00:46:44newspaper affirms it, others repeat it,
00:46:48and like an echo, alliances fall, troops
00:46:51disband, and hope fades.
00:46:53This Sunday, discover how a printed
00:46:57lie almost buried freedom
00:47:00before it was born, hosted by Inocencio Figueroa
00:47:04Sunday in the news rounds at
00:47:089:30 in the morning and 12 noon
00:47:12on Globovisión.
00:47:14Before going
00:47:25on air, there is an instant no one sees,
00:47:28the order of each note, the calm before the
00:47:32signal and the value that each word must
00:47:36have. It is not about filling a
00:47:38screen, but about inhabiting your
00:47:41reality, because informing is not just saying what
00:47:45happens, but going beyond that
00:47:48reality.

00:48:21all these voices. All these sources
00:48:24united by a single passion, the
00:48:26news,
00:48:29after 31 years of dedication, today
00:48:32we renew our commitment with more strength than
00:48:36ever, because our greatest
00:48:39specialization is keeping you well
00:48:42informed.
00:49:58We are at this hour from the Chacao municipality where there is
00:50:02an operations base of an international humanitarian
00:50:05aid organization, Operation Blessing, and we met with one of its representatives,
00:50:09José Ramón Esquer, who is in charge of the entire
00:50:12humanitarian operation here in Venezuela, with
00:50:15a large number of volunteers working in this space preparing hot
00:50:19meals, but well, I want you to show us the place, tell people
00:50:22about some of the aid you are providing and that for us in this circumstance
00:50:26in Venezuela is so valuable, that effort made by international
00:50:30organizations with the help of Venezuelan
00:50:32volunteers. In reality, it is a blessing to be here and to be able to combine
00:50:36efforts for the
00:50:39has happened and we really like working here,
00:50:43we have identified too much potential to continue blessing through
00:50:46churches, through allies, spaces like yours that lend us the
00:50:50microphone to speak to your audience.
00:50:53We have been here since day 2, we arrived here in Venezuela
00:50:56and began to identify the needs in which we
00:51:00could serve, and one of them is food, another is
00:51:04water. We started by attending to those parts. Right now we have a
00:51:07production that cooks between 3,400 hot meals a
00:51:11day that will be distributed mostly to the affected areas and
00:51:14some here in the Caracas area that suffered damage in their
00:51:18buildings, but well, it is
00:51:21wonderful because we have many volunteers, many people
00:51:24who trust in the mission and who join efforts, well, the
00:51:28truth is that the gratitude is on the other side for allowing us to be here and
00:51:31help them in these critical moments. Well, we are
00:51:34precisely in front of the Lido center in El Rosal,
00:51:38here in Chacao, precisely on Francisco Miranda Avenue so that people
00:51:42also know and can come to collaborate at this space. Yes, every day we receive
00:51:46between 15 and 20 new volunteers and about
00:51:4940 to 50 who had already come on other days. Everyone is
00:51:52welcome, spread the message because there is always
00:51:56something to do and we are always limited by hands, but
00:51:59right now as we are speaking we have 70, 75
00:52:03volunteers, of course. going and telling us
00:52:06as we walk, yes, that
00:52:09voluntarily come, most of
00:52:12them who did not suffer
00:52:14damages, let's say maybe a quarter of them did and
00:52:18who find a space here to serve and have a little normalcy in their
00:52:22days, of course, how people or at what times
00:52:26each one comes, they are assigned tasks where they should be, how they are distributed
00:52:30here in their operations base, well, we have different
00:52:33moments, from cleaning the space, we really maintain very, very, very
00:52:37high hygiene standards for the same
00:52:40reason not to produce any type of affectation,
00:52:44also the topic of preparations, cutting the food, having it
00:52:48washed, others are in
00:52:50the kitchen, being in the part of the cooking
00:52:54and so on and others more in the part
00:52:58of preparing the food trays, the platters to
00:53:01distribute already prepared to the spaces. We have to do it like this because of the health
00:53:05issue in the affected places, there are many
00:53:08flies, the cleaning possibilities are very limited, so we take them in
00:53:12this way to protect the health of people in what
00:53:17taking care of each of the
00:53:21details and the delivery chain, and well, this is for the
00:53:24production you are seeing right now, but we have also done other types of
00:53:28activities to bless children, to bless
00:53:32families, games, psychological activities.
00:53:35support for rescuers, we have
00:53:38an initiative to install purification systems in certain
00:53:41points so that people can go there to fill their large bottles
00:53:44and stay well hydrated, and
00:53:48another one is water filters, so for all of that, many volunteers are also needed
00:53:52for all of that, logistical support is also needed,
00:53:55in short, here we have found hands and
00:53:57good people who have
00:54:00joined us and who inspire us a lot to continue, to go ahead,
00:54:04truly, because
00:54:07many of them are having a bad time, who have family members who are
00:54:10affected or whose own homes are being affected and
00:54:14who even so are, as we call it, pouring themselves out to serve their
00:54:18brothers, their families, their neighbors, well, it's wonderful,
00:54:22truly, sorry if I mention it so much, but I am very
00:54:25moved by that fraternity that we have seen here, we are
00:54:28already several weeks after the
00:54:32tragedy and the participation remains very active. I ask
00:54:36people to keep that spirit, to keep that
00:54:39action to be able to continue, right, because we
00:54:43want to be here for several months, of course, that is your projection, how many months
00:54:47do you expect to be here in Venezuela, it's difficult to tell you with that accuracy, a date, but for the
00:54:51moment we are discussing internally, being able to extend it to
00:54:54about two more months, possibly about
00:54:575 more months, at least, but well, that remains to be seen
00:55:01according to what we can, to the resources we can acquire more.
00:55:05national, national, the volunteers, well, all of this will
00:55:08add up, but it's a little of what we are
00:55:11planning, of course, and we see that well, this is part of one of those operations
00:55:15centers, do you have points in other places where you are also
00:55:18preparing or besides that where you mentioned where people can go and get potable
00:55:22water as well, yes, in the first weeks we identified other kitchens where
00:55:26we were producing but we already centralized everything through
00:55:30this, partly because we already identified a logistics for
00:55:33distribution and others and a network, let's say, of places we can
00:55:36reach, from here we are sending everything towards
00:55:40La Guaira, towards
00:55:42Caraballeda and the whole region, more or less we are
00:55:46serving about 20 spaces in that region and another
00:55:5010 spaces around here and between Caracas and the affected
00:55:54area, so no, here is our
00:55:58operations base and food
00:56:01production center and here we are distributing it.
00:56:05We see that this can evolve towards producing more locally, but for
00:56:08health reasons we decided from here to have control
00:56:12of logistics, of
00:56:14production, of getting more ingredients
00:56:17here very strategically in Francisco de Miranda, yes, yes, it is a very
00:56:21central point, very central, very central, both for volunteers and for
00:56:24suppliers and logistics salida of food and
00:56:28well, also part of seeing that work that we really appreciate, we appreciate
00:56:32that well, as I said, they do it with great rigor and in the end it's good to address the
00:56:36needs that exist, for example, for food, so
00:56:38important, yes, yes, it's a
00:56:42a truly beautiful work, serving
00:56:45people and working with people who voluntarily give their
00:56:49time, give their energy for this is
00:56:52even more of a blessing, so
00:56:56eh, no man, for us it's a joy to serve here and
00:56:59work, yes, that's good and that message that you could
00:57:03also remind people. Now that they are seeing all the work that is done here and
00:57:07that it is an effort to make all these hot meals, all the
00:57:11logistics of taking them, inviting people to continue
00:57:14participating because as you said they estimate to be here not alone.
00:57:18Yes,
00:57:22yes, yes, and particularly
00:57:24that normalcy begins to reach our homes, to the
00:57:28news, not to allow that to make us
00:57:32forget the suffering and the situation that the affected families are going through,
00:57:36in other words, to keep that flame of service alive and
00:57:39that and that concern and occupation, because the truth is that everyone
00:57:43will know, the recovery will take a long time and
00:57:46the... activities of the affected homes will
00:57:50need a lot of support, so continue, continue
00:57:53being active as you have been, in fact, maintain that constancy,
00:57:57because only in this way will we be able to bring that aid and
00:58:00hope to people, yes, super important, what country are you from?
00:58:04I am from Mexico, more in the international team, let's say, that
00:58:07comes, we have people from Chile, Costa Rica, United
00:58:10States,
00:58:12and volunteers from many parts, we also receive volunteers from
00:58:15Italy, from Brazil.
00:58:18and well, most of the volunteers are Venezuelan, it's also very, very, very beautiful,
00:58:22very, very worthy of mentioning and
00:58:25incredible, there is a lot of similarity between Venezuela and
00:58:28Mexico and I can notice that
00:58:32I have a very good time, I don't miss my family, of course, but
00:58:36I don't feel alien, that's good that you can express that
00:58:40part of what you feel
00:58:43being here, seeing the work of the national organizations,
00:58:46of the Venezuelans, of the volunteers, that's exactly what we need in the
00:58:50coming weeks and the coming days, to continue addressing those
00:58:53needs and above all, well, it's not only food but as you said also
00:58:57that emotional support, that support of hope, not of faith, because they are a
00:59:00Christian organization, yes, the truth is that
00:59:03we all have talents and sometimes it
00:59:07is difficult to find a way to voluntarily put them at
00:59:10the service, here there is much to do
00:59:14to cook, to clean, to
00:59:17prepare food, but if you have some skills,
00:59:21talents or preparation in terms of
00:59:24emotional management with children, do not hesitate to approach because that is
00:59:28how good initiatives also happen where we have an
00:59:32event and you could participate, well,
00:59:35that's it, spread the message, keep talking about this,
00:59:38if not through us, through whoever, the truth is, invest
00:59:42your time to serve, that will be very very, very necessary and will
00:59:46serve everyone very much, I can assure you that all the people who come
00:59:50here leave happier
00:59:53despite being more tired,
01:00:01can see what this space is like, for those who want
01:00:04to approach and can continue as volunteers, because as he says, well,
01:00:07they have several hours of work, also several
01:00:11tasks and that people, well, if they pass nearby in Chacao, they can
01:00:15know where to go and know that they have a space here to collaborate and that at
01:00:19this moment I think that every effort counts, every effort is important, every
01:00:22effort is necessary for the current situation and I think that
01:00:26well, everyone who sees this, we are grateful for that
01:00:30work they are doing and well, that final farewell and perhaps a
01:00:34contact point or network where people can find you, thank you, thank you, all our
01:00:37social networks are Operation Blessing, as it says on the shirt,
01:00:40we are here in Francisco de
01:00:44Miranda, this is where you can register as volunteers.
01:00:48And one of the
