00:03:25she was able to get out. Once the
00:03:45people who work on
00:03:51emotional scene this Tuesday in

00:04:35We are CNN, the world leader in news.
00:04:51strength or Hello, how are you? Good evening, thank you for
00:04:53joining me, welcome to Conclusiones, I am Fernando del Rincón, I am back,
00:04:57of course, attentive to what unfortunately, has
00:05:01been reported from the dramatic, tragic,
00:05:03dramáticos, trágicos,
00:05:06cry, that is, to regrettable events in Colombia, after this
00:05:09earthquake, at a time when there is still a great
00:05:12urgency and desperation to continue finding people alive
00:05:16under the rubble, and I
00:05:18say continue finding because people
00:05:22have been found alive under the
00:05:25rubble. There is a great mobilization not only of the
00:05:28authorities and coordination of the local states, of the local
00:05:32governments, of the national governments, but also of the
00:05:35citizens themselves who are there present
00:05:39doing what they can at the same time that the international
00:05:42community offers its help. After some
00:05:46controversy, it is accepted. It has
00:05:49also been explained why by the government of
00:05:53President Abelardo del Espriella. In short,
00:05:56these are moments in which the priority, of course, and before the 72 hours are completed,
00:06:00is the search, the recovery
00:06:03of those people
00:06:06who are still alive under the
00:06:09rubble. We will be, of course, following
00:06:13up. The death toll is updated as the
00:06:17hours pass, unfortunately. Hopefully, there will be no new updates and many
00:06:20more about people alive.
00:06:24But the situation is not easy, it is extremely painful. From
00:06:27here, of course, I extend my solidarity to
00:06:30all my Colombian brothers, my best
00:06:34wishes and, of course, our willingness to
00:06:39is necessary from this front and always. Through
00:06:43this window, we will precisely begin
00:06:47with the latest information about the earthquake in Colombia.
00:07:03And it is that the president, President Abelardo del Espriella, reported this
00:07:06Wednesday that the death toll
00:07:08rose to 265, 265, after the powerful
00:07:12earthquake on Monday. During a message to the media, he added that
00:07:163,494 people were injured
00:07:20and 496 are
00:07:24missing. He said that these last ones, that is, the
00:07:27missing, would be a
00:07:30priority in the efforts of the authorities. According to the Colombian
00:07:34Association of Capital Cities, the highest number of deaths is in
00:07:37Pereira, followed by Cali,
00:07:40Quibdó and Manizales. Pay attention:
00:07:42atención:
00:07:45we have 25,872 families
00:07:49affected,
00:07:5153,816 people,
00:07:55unfortunately
00:07:57265
00:07:59deceased,
00:08:013,494
00:08:04injured, and the number of
00:08:07missing has risen
00:08:11alarmingly
00:08:13to 496. Our
00:08:17main efforts
00:08:19are focused on the
00:08:22missing. For this, we are
00:08:26acting with all our capabilities and
00:08:29also making use of the international
00:08:32aid that is beginning to arrive in
00:08:34Colombia.
00:08:49An explosion of joy and how could it not cause the rescue of
00:08:52Daniela Largo Sánchez after spending 36 hours under the
00:08:56rubble caused by the earthquake. Firefighters and
00:08:59police, as well as volunteers, starred in the
00:09:03the city of Pereira, which, of course, gives hope in the midst
00:09:07of this tragedy, and another scene, another hopeful scene,
00:09:10occurred in Cali.
00:09:12After the earthquake, a group of volunteers managed to rescue a baby
00:09:17and her father. Also, paying extreme attention,
00:09:20they managed to perceive a whisper among the
00:09:23rubble. One of them, Bryan Osorio, tells us
00:09:26how they achieved the
00:09:27feat.
00:09:31It sounded like a whisper, yes, I'm
00:09:34here, I'm with a baby, but it was like
00:09:37a very soft whisper, so silence, silence because the noise
00:09:41of the girl continued. All the people who
00:09:44were helping at that moment, who were the
00:09:47neighbors of the sector, became silent, and thanks to the shouts
00:09:51of the person, the man who was shouting and was with the baby, I
00:09:55was able to identify where he
00:09:57was, and then I started shouting, "There's
00:10:01a person here with a baby!" You could see the
00:10:04baby's little head,
00:10:07which at the time was purple because he couldn't
00:10:11breathe. When we were removing the
00:10:15rubble, the child started to
00:10:18breathe.
00:10:22Incredible, incredible story, right? And well, like
00:10:26that, it is hoped that there will be many more, of
00:10:29course, and that is what we wish for, rescues, rescues, many
00:10:32rescues. By the way, both, that is, the baby and her father, are in
00:10:35stable condition under observation. The
00:10:37baby miraculously, of course, only suffered some
00:10:41scratches and a slight blow to the head. Her father, unlike
00:10:45her, did receive surgery.
00:10:47But of the little girl's mother and other members of her family, unfortunately, there
00:10:51is still no confirmed location nor
00:10:55a sign of life. And well, I was telling you at the beginning, the rescue
00:10:58window, as the hours pass, is closing
00:11:02as time passes, of course, every hour is very, very
00:11:05important. That's why the urgency, the urgency to
00:11:08take advantage of these last minutes, these last hours
00:11:12is crucial. This is emphasized by
00:11:15the mayor of Cali, Alejandro Eder,
00:11:17listen: we have 24
00:11:21hours left, actually, we have 22
00:11:25hours left to complete the 72 hours
00:11:28since the earthquake occurred. This
00:11:3172-hour window is the most critical to rescue
00:11:35citizens, victims,
00:11:38alive.
00:11:42While in places like Manizales, returning home
00:11:46is no longer the same. Residents return to
00:11:49evacuated buildings, not to stay but to rescue what they can
00:11:53of their belongings, photographs,
00:11:55documents, valuable objects, that
00:11:59perhaps, well, become the only memories of a life that
00:12:02changed in a matter of seconds. My colleague,
00:12:06Fernando Ramos, was with some of
00:12:08them.
00:12:11People continue taking out what little
00:12:15they can from buildings like this
00:12:18here in Manizales that
00:12:20suffered severe damage. They are no longer habitable. The
00:12:24structures are destroyed. It is not very
00:12:27safe to be here. They have just allowed us to enter to
00:12:31show you, for example, the magnitude of the damage that
00:12:35is visible, and this is the Milán
00:12:38sector in the area
00:12:41that is like the bar and restaurant
00:12:44area in Manizales, and
00:12:47it has been very affected by what happened during this
00:12:50earthquake. We have seen very difficult stories of people who have
00:12:54lost everything. Who have practically been left homeless, who have
00:12:57had to sleep in very difficult conditions.
00:13:01We can continue observing the conditions
00:13:04in which this building was left, and these are some of the
00:13:08belongings that they are able to recover from this
00:13:12building. The order is to leave
00:13:15here, and well, we have spoken with some of its
00:13:18inhabitants who have told us about the tragedy they are
00:13:21experiencing, and amidst it all, there is hope because they are still
00:13:25alive, leaving this building now.
00:13:28They were terrible moments. Yes,
00:13:32fortunately, thank God, we have life, which is the most
00:13:35important thing, but it was a few seconds, minutes,
00:13:39but I thought this was going to end. My mother was
00:13:43in apartment 2B, which is two floors below here.
00:13:47Fortunately,
00:13:50earthquake, the tremor, ended, she managed to get out over the rubble, because
00:13:54all these walls on the first and second floors
00:13:57fell. This entire building has cracked
00:14:00completely, and well, we are helping to take out things,
00:14:04as we have to evacuate it for their lives. You are helping
00:14:08the people who have lost everything, yes sir, we have
00:14:11gone out to help, to bring food, to bring drinks,
00:14:15hydration, to pray,
00:14:18to hug, to talk to people, because those are the
00:14:21most marked needs that we have or that each one has...
00:14:27There are more than 1,500 people who are being
00:14:30taken to shelters in the city,
00:14:34temporarily, while they can rebuild
00:14:37their lives. Buildings like
00:14:40this are no longer habitable, and well, they
00:14:43will now have to start from scratch,
00:14:46start over,
00:14:49but what we have seen in these inhabitants
00:14:53of this city and what we are seeing throughout the country is an
00:14:56immense resilience and also solidarity from
00:14:59people with those who have lost everything. For CNN, Fernando
00:15:03Ramos, Manizales,
00:15:04Colombia.
00:15:08Thanks to my colleague, Fernando Ramos, of course. Help,
00:15:11help
00:15:13usually
00:15:16confuses people. What do I mean by this? That one
00:15:19says, "I don't have almost anything to help with, so I'd
00:15:23better not."
00:15:25No, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how small
00:15:29you think your contribution of help is, it is
00:15:31very important, because little by little,
00:15:34all of us can do a lot. So
00:15:38take that into account, no matter what it is, even if you think
00:15:42your help is insignificant, it is not, it is the most
00:15:45important thing. Please keep
00:15:48that in mind, and for that, I ask you then, besides reflecting
00:15:52on this, that size doesn't matter,
00:15:56but help itself,
00:15:58I'm going to give you ways to help the victims of the
00:16:02cnne.com,
00:16:06diagonal impact. It's on the screen, CNne.com
00:16:10diagonal impact. Enter there,
00:16:12there you will find different ways to
00:16:16help, donate safely, which is very important
00:16:19to charitable organizations present on

00:16:25victims, etc.
00:16:27CNne.com diagonal impact, enter
00:16:31there, see how you can help, even if you think you can help very little, it's
00:16:35a lot, believe me, a lot. When we all... from here, I send
00:16:39all my strength, all my solidarity, all my
00:16:41empathy to my Colombian brothers, also my deepest
00:16:45condolences to those who lost friends, family, loved ones
00:16:48in this earthquake. We are here
00:16:51as a window to help you, to support you.
00:16:55You decide when it is necessary. I will
00:16:58take a break and return in a
00:17:01moment.
00:17:06Always here. My bicycle importer said, and one day
00:17:10I said, why not? But the road gets tough, doors close
00:17:13and you give up, until I
00:17:16remembered my dad, "Son, when it gets harder,
00:17:20you have to pedal harder." And
00:17:23I continued until I found the yes,
00:17:26"Óscar, we approved your credit." Your business is ready to write its
00:17:29next chapter and we are here to accompany you.
00:17:32Go, your story, write it with ours.
00:17:36It was important to cover the trial of Genaro García Luna because this
00:17:40is the highest-level public official in Mexico
00:17:43to be tried and convicted in the United States
00:17:47for drug trafficking. It was incredible to be there
00:17:51and hear these testimonies and be able
00:17:54to learn exactly how
00:17:57drug cartels operate and how they can
00:18:00operate with the support
00:18:04many times of government
00:18:07officials. Covering a federal trial in the United States
00:18:10is always a difficult task. You have to arrive at
00:18:13court very early to secure a
00:18:17seat inside the courtroom, but also because cameras are not allowed
00:18:21to record what is happening in the room,
00:18:25so you have to take notes. Imagine 8 hours
00:18:29taking notes of everything that is said, everything that happens to
00:18:32be able to report it to you.
00:18:36Our obligation as journalists is to
00:18:40tell things as they are and not necessarily as they want us to
00:18:42tell them.
00:18:45We want to have great minds talking about the most
00:18:49important issues that affect our countries, us as
00:18:53people.
00:18:55I have a responsibility to tell the truth, to be truthful, not to
00:18:59be neutral, those are very different things. Oppenheimer
00:19:02presents Sunday on
00:19:05CNN.
00:20:25Look, tonight I'm going to talk to Luis Manuel
00:20:29Otero Alcántara. I don't know if you know him, Cuban
00:20:32dissident, artist
00:20:35eh, he's already in Florida. After practically 5 years
00:20:38in prison, one of the founders of the San Isidro movement,
00:20:42you know more or less, well, I'm going to be
00:20:46talking to him tonight, without a doubt at a very important
00:20:50moment, and from that movement,
00:20:53the San Isidro movement, which, well, all
00:20:57hope was placed on it,
00:21:01it was given all the support, let's say, and
00:21:05it finally didn't achieve real change. Today,
00:21:08it exists as such, but it doesn't have the strength it had in
00:21:12its moment. What happened from there to here, but also
00:21:15in prison,
00:21:18this, how he
00:21:22saw history unfold,
00:21:25he himself being there, anyway, I'll be talking to him tonight,
00:21:28I ask you a favor
00:21:31accompany me through social networks, but first I'm going to give you all
00:21:35the context in case you don't know my
00:21:37guest. I was telling you about the San Isidro movement, yes, before
00:21:41being a movement,
00:21:44it was a neighborhood, a humble neighborhood in Old Havana, it was
00:21:47located near the port. Single-story houses where saltpeter
00:21:51eats away at the facades faster than the
00:21:55state maintains them, which is very common,
00:21:59you don't need to be near the sea, wherever
00:22:02the saltpeter is, it eats everything, and
00:22:06the state doesn't maintain it. In the middle of that
00:22:09block there was a different house, the house of
00:22:13precisely Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, an artist known as
00:22:17an artist, a house where there was space for... that
00:22:20in much of Cuba did not fit, what do I
00:22:24mean? Well, songs that are not played on the radio,
00:22:27questions that are not asked, not even by mistake out loud,
00:22:31and opinions that were not disguised, which is very important,
00:22:35right? Look how Otero
00:22:39Alcántara himself presented it back
00:22:41then:
00:22:47This neighborhood is an example of what is happening throughout
00:22:50es un ejemplo lo que está pasando en toda
00:22:51Cuba.
00:22:55Well, the San Isidro movement was formally born in the house of Luis
00:22:59Manuel Otero Alcántara. It was
00:23:022018, the year in which the Cuban regime made
00:23:05Decree 349 law. This is the
00:23:08starting point, it is very important, this Decree
00:23:11349 was a regulation or is the regulation that
00:23:15governs cultural policy and that
00:23:18requires artists to obtain permission to
00:23:21perform or market their art, that is, you have to
00:23:25ask for permission to make art and to be able to
00:23:28live from your art, imagine that. A group of
00:23:31artists, of course, refused to ask for it and named it after
00:23:35their neighborhood, San Isidro. That's where it comes from, but understand
00:23:38that its origin is artistic,
00:23:41not initially, it is
00:23:44a cry for artistic freedom, the San
00:23:47Isidro movement, not political, at that moment it is against this
00:23:51decree, of course, the demonstration is
00:23:55in the sense of disobedience against
00:23:58this decree, this law, no, at that moment it was
00:24:02a decree, now a law. Otero Alcántara was already
00:24:05famous at that time for his performance art,
00:24:09this is what he said about the project in
00:24:102018:
00:24:13We want to achieve a project, a unique
00:24:16project where we can talk about culture, we can talk about Cuban
00:24:20contemporary art
00:24:23without that being seen as a threat to national
00:24:27security.
00:24:30But well, it seems that things were not
00:24:34interpreted that way by the regime. It gained special
00:24:37notoriety after a song was released in February
00:24:402021. The title turned around a slogan that the
00:24:44Cuban regime had been using since 1960, "Patria o
00:24:47Muerte" (Homeland or Death), which is like the motto, the slogan
00:24:50of the regime. They, in the song, change it to "Patria y
00:24:54Vida" (Homeland and Life). In the music video, he appears with the acronym of
00:24:58his movement painted on his chest and a Cuban flag in his
00:25:01hands. 10 months later, that
00:25:04song, which criticizes, of course, the lack of freedoms on the
00:25:08island and which became an anthem for the historic
00:25:11protests of that year, won two Latin
00:25:14Grammys, including Song of the
00:25:17Year. In official media,
00:25:21he has been called a mercenary, and even worse derogatory terms. Mercenary
00:25:24is the least of it, but Otero Alcántara sought
00:25:28to break with what he called the
00:25:32myth, listen,
00:25:35to break a little with the myth built over 60 years
00:25:38that doing something independent that comes from oneself separate
00:25:42from the state is the devil, it's demonized, you understand, or
00:25:46it's counter-revolution or you're against the achievements of the revolution like health and
00:25:50medicine,
00:25:53and all that was, all that was for the
00:25:56regime, of course, well known to the
00:25:59authorities, even before the emergence of the movement. They had already
00:26:03arrested him, as he himself has documented, and
00:26:06intensely since 2018, so they
00:26:10continued to arrest him, to which were added illegal searches of his
00:26:13home, interception of communications, abuses by the
00:26:17authorities in relation to his artistic activism in favor
00:26:20of human rights, in short, they persecuted him, so you understand. On July 11,
00:26:242021, he left his house in San Isidro to join a protest in
00:26:28progress, he was going to join that protest that was in progress to demand freedom.
00:26:33But, but he never
00:26:34arrived.
00:26:39Repression, no, you don't stay, much
00:26:41repression. It's
00:26:44over.
00:26:48Five years later, 5 years later, a
00:26:52maximum security prison, a closed-door
00:26:55trial for charges of contempt and public
00:26:59disorder that he always rejected, and a phrase that stuck to his name
00:27:03like a second identity, he said, "I will die
00:27:07here, let them do what they want to me," he said
00:27:10in January 2022 in the midst of a hunger and thirst strike, also in the
00:27:14Guanajay prison. His uncle, who brought him the message
00:27:16that the regime offered him freedom in
00:27:20exchange for exile, but at the beginning of 2023 he accepted
00:27:24exile as the only way to be able to continue his work as an artist and
00:27:27activist, after having endured all the repression,
00:27:30according to a message published in July on his Facebook account, it would still be
00:27:343 years until his arrival in Miami, to receive a special permit from the United
00:27:38States government. The Cuban regime never
00:27:41commented on Otero Alcántara's case, but the United States was
00:27:45already preparing the ground, and nevertheless, well,
00:27:49this is a reality today, tonight he is here, he is in
00:27:52the United States, he is
00:27:55free, exiled,
00:27:58alive, he spent 5 years, 5 years
00:28:02learning from inside a cell where they never
00:28:06managed to alienate him from art, and now
00:28:09he is here to talk, to talk to me. I'm going to welcome
00:28:13him.
00:28:19And the welcome is for Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, Cuban
00:28:22dissident and artist, or artist and Cuban
00:28:26dissident, I don't know which, I don't know which order Luis Manuel
00:28:29would give to these words, but
00:28:33both things are a reality. Welcome Luis Manuel, thank you, no, thank
00:28:36you for the invitation and for amplifying our
00:28:39voices.
00:28:42Hey Luis Manuel, 5 years later you are
00:28:44here, and I ask
00:28:47you if it is a
00:28:51forced exile, that is,
00:28:54it's not that you achieved
00:28:56freedom, but that they
00:29:00forced you to leave the
00:29:03of the two is the version you feel you are
00:29:07living today? Undoubtedly, what I am
00:29:11experiencing is an exile, a banishment,
00:29:13because when I left, when the sanction that
00:29:17the regime imposed on me was fulfilled, which is a totally arbitrary sanction, the
00:29:21regime made it clear to me that I would not walk the streets of Cuba, that the only
00:29:25option was to remain in prison
00:29:28or this exile, this banishment. And at that moment,
00:29:31I could have made the decision to stay in prison,
00:29:35but I felt that I had things to
00:29:39say, things to contribute to the reality of Cuba from this
00:29:42new freedom. Today in Cuba, the levels of influence that
00:29:48social media, the influencers, have, are
00:29:50gigantic, and I felt that that imprisoned body had already
00:29:54demonstrated sufficient resistance to
00:29:57prison, to the yoke of the dictatorship. And right
00:30:00now you needed to use things that you had in your head to achieve
00:30:04freedom, and that's when this exile came
00:30:08out.
00:30:09You manage, of course, I mean, already
00:30:12from the San Isidro movement, beyond
00:30:15your art, yes, as an activist,
00:30:19I think you achieve great authority. moral
00:30:21eh
00:30:24that gives you, I don't know if greater strength
00:30:27or more guarantees of being heard. What
00:30:31do I mean by that? Well, for you, these five years have been an
00:30:35investment to achieve greater
00:30:38coverage with your voice or has it been a waste
00:30:41of time or have you been kidnapped by this
00:30:44activism during these 5 years? Because depending on how you
00:30:48see it, it has given you great
00:30:53has it taken it away? What do you think? First,
00:30:57during the 5 years, I continued doing activism. I continued.
