00:00:00doing coordinated exercises with the members of the
00:00:03national army, tasks
00:00:05means a direct conflict with against drug trafficking and against illegal mining, it is
00:00:09said, but the questions cross
00:00:12that presence, that
00:00:15authorization that must be given by the Congress of the Republic that did
00:00:18not happen, the president of the
00:00:22Republic abrogated the right to sign those agreements or those
00:00:25exercises without going through the due
00:00:28authorization and study of the Congress of the
00:00:32had an outstanding performance in Republic, such exercises must pass, according to analysts
00:00:36and experts and the congressmen themselves, it must pass through an
00:00:39authorization from the Congress of the
00:00:42Republic, also, it is not known what is, let's say,
00:00:46the scope of these exercises, what is the commitment also in terms of
00:00:49human rights that this is happening, also because it violates
00:00:53sovereignty to the extent that these military
00:00:57activities are being carried out and
00:01:00its scope is not precisely known and it is being developed,
00:01:03let's say, with the intention of
00:01:06helping the United States in what
00:01:09this means of incorporating itself into the shield of the
00:01:13Americas and this has a series of criticisms from all points of
00:01:16view, so what is assured is that the war in
00:01:20decided to prioritize the needs of the territories will intensify precisely
00:01:24where there are particular interests of the United States and Zionism in
00:01:27rare earths in all
00:01:30the minerals that serve for
00:01:33technology, including war technology and that has been
00:01:37developing from the presence
00:01:40of the military of the United States, but also a
00:01:44policy of analysts assure of
00:01:47kneeling to imperialism by
00:01:50Abelardo de la Espriella and that is in
00:01:53consonance precisely with the public order
00:01:57situation that is developing in some areas
00:02:00of the country, as you reported yesterday
00:02:04on October 31st, in the
00:02:08evening hours, around 12 at night,
00:02:10a
00:02:14large vehicle, here we call it a dump truck that transports
00:02:18rubble was
00:02:20the maintenance needs of activated with explosives in the vicinity of a
00:02:23military base in the municipality of Planadas Tolima.
00:02:28impressive, one still doesn't stop being surprised by It is also said that the base was attacked with
00:02:31drones that unfortunately impacted
00:02:34the vicinity
00:02:37of the houses of the sites
00:02:41where people live near this
00:02:45Health at the central level and from military base, the result, as you
00:02:46announce our culture segment with said, of four people dead, several
00:02:50injured, already the authorities are
00:02:53present and are carrying out the investigations of the case, they have not yet
00:02:57named any responsible the investigations,
00:03:01but all this is part of all
00:03:04that troop movement, that
00:03:07movement, that military exercise that the United
00:03:10States is doing, precisely in an act of
00:03:13interests that concern the United States in terms of
00:03:19some regions, especially in minerals, they say in terms of drug trafficking, but what analysts suggest is that all
00:03:22this situation will lead to more violence in the territories, it will
00:03:26lead to more displacement, which will allow.
00:03:30precisely to have greater and easier access
00:03:34to those territories with those
00:03:37mineral interests and in rare earths, so
00:03:41well, this activity begins
00:03:43that people in to develop,
00:03:45the so-called Colombian periphery in before it was said that it was Plan Colombia,
00:03:47let's remember, and its interference in the country
00:03:51with the persecution of the insurgency that
00:03:54led to a number of massacres and persecutions of social
00:03:57leaders in the territories who opposed.
00:04:00precisely the presence of troops
00:04:04and the monopolization of
00:04:06land precisely with these, let's say,
00:04:10riches that the country has, so the situation is very complex
00:04:13and we will see how this situation
00:04:17of deepening conflict that is expected for the coming years, especially
00:04:214 years, especially with the presence of Abelardo de la
00:04:24Espriella in power. I want
00:04:27to ask you what social networks say about all
00:04:30this movement because there was traffic on the networks this
00:04:34weekend alluding to a topic that
00:04:37usually always remained politically engaged, but now
00:04:41has great social support,
00:04:44with his third place also obtained in Hernan, yes, indeed, there are more social and human
00:04:48rights organizations, human rights activists from different regions
00:04:52who draw attention to this
00:04:54situation, let's remember that this
00:04:57exercises are being worked on, that is what is framed in the ESP of the Americas. It
00:05:00is a military strategy that Abelardo de la
00:05:03Aspriella associated with and that has, let's say, these
00:05:06consequences, no, opening the doors
00:05:10to the interests of the United States in the region. and especially in
00:05:13Colombia and what that implies for the territories, territories
00:05:17full of rare earths, full of
00:05:21minerals, full of a
00:05:24wealth in the soil and in the subsoil that are of
00:05:27interest precisely for armament
00:05:31and the interests that the United States has in the
00:05:34region, so this is seen with quite
00:05:37worrying eyes, also, as I repeat, where the president
00:05:41abrogated. that possibility of
00:05:44authorizing, of allowing entry without going
00:05:48through the discussion and the study and the congress of the
00:05:51republic, which flagrantly violates the
00:05:55separation of powers and the intentionality
00:05:59that it is developing in the Magna Carta precisely of
00:06:02sovereignty in the country and that foreign armies are present,
00:06:05even if only military exercises, but what is
00:06:09questioned is what is the transcendence, what is wanted. what is
00:06:13intended, how far will it go, there are minimums, there
00:06:16are maximums and that is not known, so that is why the
00:06:20alarm from social organizations and human rights and we are
00:06:23already seeing how the conflict is developing in certain
00:06:27regions, regions that there is an interest
00:06:31on the part of those companies, those multinationals
00:06:34that want to arrive precisely with
00:06:37the possibility of entering the territories for the
00:06:40mineral wealth and the wealth in rare earths
00:06:44that Colombia has, thank
00:06:47you very much, Hernan, I am going to add Daniel Guerra at this moment, political scientist,
00:06:50we open the analysis, how are you Daniel,
00:06:54hello, good morning, nice to greet you all, thank you very much,
00:06:58let's talk about the impact of this news, please,
00:07:00favor,
00:07:03well, this is news that begins to concretize what
00:07:07was announced in the campaign which
00:07:09is a narrowing of military relations with... the United
00:07:12States and to align with what Donald Trump had called at the
00:07:16time the shield of the Americas, where Colombia,
00:07:19obviously, was a fundamental part, so Colombia's
00:07:22entry into this reinforces some of the most
00:07:26special moments that have been of North American cooperation between
00:07:29there are, however, several
00:07:33must be made:
00:07:36first, it is very important to remember that
00:07:38generally in this military association, Colombia is the one who ends up
00:07:42putting the dead and the United States part of the money because another part is
00:07:46country to the United
00:07:49States, therefore a North American association, although
00:07:52it may on paper look good for because it may mean more military
00:07:56training, it can often lead
00:08:00to strategies that are not precisely the best, I want to
00:08:03tell you something about the North American
00:08:06doctrine that has been applied here in Colombia and that has led
00:08:09us to a dead end, so to speak. The United
00:08:13States has a doctrine of bombings with aircraft, camps, like
00:08:17the ones it had in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they literally
00:08:20bombed, entered, withdrew or removed their
00:08:24military objective and then returned to leave the area. This was
00:08:28repeated for a long time in Colombia, in
00:08:31the jungles, in the eastern plains. And this has
00:08:34generated a factor of distrust of this population
00:08:38towards the military forces. For the United
00:08:40States it could work because they were attacking in a foreign
00:08:44commitment against this society,
00:08:48personally and because I have lived it I want to tell you that this strategy in Colombia has been very
00:08:52bad because what it has done is
00:08:57the jungles of Choco, in the Orinoquía, in the Amazon, see the
00:09:01state only as an actor that enters with violence and then withdraws without leaving
00:09:04fundamental solutions, if this continues to be repeated throughout history, the only thing we
00:09:08will have is a greater division and rupture
00:09:12We cannot replicate all the military strategies that the United
00:09:16States often applies here in Colombia because our commitments with
00:09:19Colombians themselves and our initiative for a national
00:09:23project are very different from what they have, that is the
00:09:26delicacy of this type of
00:09:29close with this, another of the important issues is the issue
00:09:33of illicit crops, it is also a
00:09:36problem that has not been resolved, that continues
00:09:39to grow, that has diversified internationally. and that I see
00:09:43very difficult to combat with the same old recipes that have already
00:09:47failed,
00:09:49now there is
00:09:52a same recipe that fails and clashes again and
00:09:55again, but the reality is that Espriella shows
00:09:59himself determined and the votes he has obtained
00:10:03also fuel all this polarization, even now military
00:10:06polarización, inclusive ahora se trabaja
00:10:09I want to highlight Daniel.
00:10:13Yes, of course, look, military exercises, the arrival of
00:10:17the 300 North Americans at Fort
00:10:20Tolemaida, which is the largest base that
00:10:23Colombia has. which is a few hours from the city of
00:10:26Bogotá, also
00:10:30the Congress of the Republic and with other regulations that
00:10:34can come to be understood as a violation of Colombian
00:10:37sovereignty, here I recall the words I had
00:10:41already said, aligning ourselves 100% with
00:10:44imported strategy, will end up costing all Colombians
00:10:48very dearly, because the payment we
00:10:52make, we make with lives, with the future we
00:10:55have here in Colombia, because in the end the youngest end up
00:10:59facing each other, however, for the United
00:11:03States this is an opportunity to test its weaponry, to
00:11:06reinforce its geostrategic influence in the region,
00:11:10I do not view this type of activities favorably, is cooperation
00:11:13needed? I am sure it is, but should it be
00:11:16only with the United States? The United States involved its
00:11:19differences begin, thank
00:11:23you very much, let's also remember the arrival.
00:11:26Understood, thank you very much, thank you for this analysis, we leave Daniela
00:11:29and prepare for another topic.
00:11:44Welcome to the Telesur team in Havana, Rey Gómez, happy
00:11:47week.
00:11:55reporting that Cuba commemorated this weekend the 50th
00:11:59anniversary of the constitution of the Municipal Assemblies of Popular
00:12:02Power. The central act for the anniversary was held at the national
00:12:06capitol building and during her intervention, the vice president
00:12:10of the legislature, Ana María Mari Machado, explained that a
00:12:13representation of delegates and workers from all over the country,
00:12:16outstanding workers, I mean, received the
00:12:20medal for the defense of unity and the homeland and the unity of the
00:12:23neighborhood. In addition to the distinction. August 23, the neighborhood
00:12:26award and special recognition for the 50th
00:12:30anniversary of popular power, among other
00:12:33distinctions. We change the scene, Transmet, a state
00:12:36entity in charge of transporting public health professionals, received
00:12:40a batch of 20 100%
00:12:44electric vehicles. The vehicles will allow the transport of medicines,
00:12:48essential supplies and other priority resources required by
00:12:51hospitals, pharmacies, polyclinics, maternal
00:12:54and children without parental care, as well as
00:12:58centers dedicated to research and specialized care for
00:13:01patients. Present at the delivery were the Minister of Transport
00:13:05Eduardo Rodríguez Ávila along with leaders from the Ministry of Public
00:13:10Havana, let's hear
00:13:12statements,
00:13:18it's a new challenge, also a new mission that the Ministry of Transport
00:13:21is giving us, because really the need to transport
00:13:24doctors is not the only thing that public health really lacks,
00:13:28it also needs supplies and medicines for the
00:13:31assistance to be complete, we have to speed up the installation
00:13:35of solar panels and charging
00:13:39is a great project and as soon as it is ready it will allow
00:13:42us to continue incorporating new electric vehicles, it
00:13:46is not enough to have a resource in a
00:13:49warehouse or at a certain point in the distribution
00:13:53network if it is not next to the patient and that logistics for the
00:13:56reasons we all know is
00:13:59affected, with this, without a doubt what
00:14:03we have will be next
00:14:07to the patient and in order
00:14:10to give the assistance response that the
00:14:13system deserves, and from this November 1st, modifications
00:14:17to the laws on migration, citizenship and
00:14:20immigration in Cuba came into force, the main novelty is the elimination of the
00:14:24limit outside the national territory, which allows
00:14:27Cubans to retain their rights, including those
00:14:31related to their property without losing their status for residing
00:14:35in another country. The reform also recognizes dual citizenship, establishes
00:14:38mechanisms to renounce or recover Cuban
00:14:42nationality and guarantees this right
00:14:46abroad. In addition, it incorporates new categories of
00:14:49residence for investors and humanitarian cases. The
00:14:53authorities specified that the Cuban passport remains
00:14:56mandatory for entering and leaving the country, while the political
00:15:00rights of residents abroad continue to be regulated by
00:15:04existing legislation. There's
00:15:07more, breakdowns in electrical transformers worsen the
00:15:11afectations, especially in the residential sector. In the eastern
00:15:14province of Holguín, electrical workers recover the equipment
00:15:18to restore service to families amid the economic limitations
00:15:22facing the country due to the intensification
00:15:25of the US blockade, our colleague Giordani Rodríguez
00:15:29Laurencia expands on this in his
00:15:30report:
00:15:33Two months without a transformer for these families in Holguín, in eastern
00:15:37Cuba, recovering electricity means
00:15:40reorganizing daily life even if blackouts
00:15:42continue.
00:15:45It was two months of a situation where
00:15:48we were off all the time and for us
00:15:52it has now been a huge joy that today they have put in the
00:15:55transformer, but well, we keep going forward and
00:15:59fighting, so now we get it every 12
00:16:01hours. Now it would be our turn from 6 to 9 at night to
00:16:05prioritize...
00:16:08to make the most of it, to wash, cook, do everything, that's right.
00:16:12The transformer that is working again today is
00:16:15the same one that was removed 60 days ago, its recovery
00:16:19allows restoring the service without depending on the acquisition of a new
00:16:23equipment. 60 days ago I removed it and today we are
00:16:26doing a division of secondary circuits so that the population
00:16:29can resume. All Cubans are suffering right now because of the
00:16:33overload of the crocodile in Cuba. And the purpose is to
00:16:36maintain. the service as such to the Cuban
00:16:39customer.
00:16:41In the workshop, recovering transformers also means transmitting
00:16:45knowledge. El Serralio Vázquez González is
00:16:48retired, but he returned to teach the trade to the younger
00:16:51ones. He also has a broken transformer in his
00:16:54home. Even so, he
00:16:58the community. The director made a proposal to me that
00:17:01it was necessary for me to come here to
00:17:05new youth. who
00:17:07are now rising so that I could train
00:17:11them and well, if it's to train them and teach them, no problem, let's go
00:17:15you something,
00:17:18sometimes it's even shameful to say it, but well, I have to say it, I'm also
00:17:22in need because my transformer is also burned, mine is that I
00:17:25wind the transformers and mine is currently burned and I
00:17:29see my need and I see the need, we have to
00:17:32help the people, truly, in Holguín
00:17:35around 120 transformers
00:17:39recovering them allows reducing
00:17:42parts and materials, the
00:17:45economic, commercial and financial blockade by the United States
00:17:49limits Cuba's access to resources and financing, to these
00:17:52restrictions are added the accumulated deterioration of the infrastructure and
00:17:58facility, the objective is to
00:18:02minimize waiting time. Today we have many of the
00:18:05necessary resources to recover transformers and that is the intention and the
00:18:09mission of the workshop, to shorten the response time to affect the population
00:18:13as little as possible. In this area of eastern Cuba, electricity
00:18:17returns after two months, for its inhabitants every hour of
00:18:20service counts, it's time to cook, wash and
00:18:24recover part of normality. The cameraman
00:18:27e de lapera and Giordanis Rodríguez Laurencia, Telesur,
00:18:31Oriente,
00:18:32Cuba.
00:18:35So you can get an idea of the effects of the US blockade, how they directly
00:18:39affect Cuban families, two months without
00:18:43electricity in that community due to the damage to
00:18:46an electrical transformer, but Cubans, in the face of difficulties,
00:18:49grow stronger, move forward, as they say
00:18:52in Venezuela, a big hug to
00:18:56that great team that always accompanies
00:18:59audience, Marcela, my dear, I give it back to you
00:19:02for today, tomorrow we will meet
