The 2015 National Assembly delegation confirmed that the Venezuelan gold recently released by the Bank of England — approximately 31 tons — will be held in custody by the US Treasury and international companies for use in the country’s reconstruction following the June earthquakes.

The delegation confirmed a strict plan for managing the country’s resources. “The authorities will maintain a permanent financial review of every penny spent.”

According to Congressman Ramón López, “international companies will audit all financial transactions. This mechanism seeks to protect public funds against corruption and the misappropriation of funds.”

The priority is responding to the emergency caused by the earthquakes in June. The plan includes repairing homes, building schools, and rehabilitating severely damaged health centers.

The oversight involves various independent organizations, which will allow for “the traceability of payments throughout the entire reconstruction process.”

The Venezuelan Chamber of Electronic Commerce (Cavecom), through its president, Richard Ujueta, announced a plan for the recovery of the commercial sector affected by the recent earthquakes in La Guaira and Aragua.

In this regard, he indicated that “the Venezuelan business sector is uniting technological efforts to revitalize the economy in the regions affected by the environmental disasters.” In this regard, they are conducting a business census in both states, in addition to providing those affected with the Digital Kit and special subsidies.

Ujueta indicated in an interview with the state television channel VTV that they have begun “partnerships with the main telecommunications providers to lift connectivity restrictions and facilitate online sales tools without initial costs.”

Regarding the Digital Kit Venezuela, Ujueta referred to the Fundacite technology park, located in La Guaira. The initiative “will provide businesses that lost their premises with digital billing, inventory control, and logistics systems. The benefit includes a direct subsidy exceeding 40 %, extending payment facilities that represent savings of between three and four thousand dollars for each affected entrepreneur.”

It is important to highlight that this program is based on four operational pillars: training, technology, empowerment, and specialized mentorship.

Regarding the regional censuses and tax digitization, Ujueta said they would begin this week with the affected businesses on the central coast, where the loss is estimated at “more than 70 % of the retail sector. A similar registration process will be carried out in Aragua in coordination with the Girardot Mayor’s Office.”

The business leader spoke positively about “the new appointments made by the national government in the area of ​​digital economy and reiterated Cavecom’s willingness to advise the National Integrated Customs and Tax Administration Service (SENIAT) on incorporating more than three million informal workers into real-time electronic invoicing systems.”

On Thursday, July 2, the first international flight arrived at the José Antonio Anzoátegui Airport in Barcelona, ​​Anzoátegui State, after the airport was authorized to handle international connections due to the temporary closure of Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía.

Following the June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela, several regional airports have been designated to facilitate domestic and international air travel.

The goal is to maintain, to the extent possible, the air routes that operated at Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía.

The first international flight under these circumstances was a Miami-Barcelona route operated by Laser Airlines, carrying 53 passengers. Regional authorities specified that this route will operate daily, with flights between Barcelona and Miami in both directions via the same airline.

According to authorities, new international routes will be added from this terminal in the coming days, which already had reactivated connections to Panama through Copa Airlines.

The ABV has recommended several preventative measures to the public to avoid becoming victims of scams and, above all, to help ensure that all donations effectively reach those who need them most.

Some of the ABV’s suggestions are:

• Make donations through a duly registered NGO, as well as corporate foundations or recognized charitable institutions.
• Prioritize transfers to accounts in the institution’s name and avoid methods like mobile payments or transfers to individuals, except when you fully trust them.
• Never reveal personal information, user passwords, or OTP codes via calls, messages, or social media.
• Discard any suspicious links and verify that you are using an official application.
