00:00The agenda of the Venezuelan presidential candidates intensifies a few days ahead of

00:04the general elections in the country, scheduled for next July 28.

00:08Our special envoy also joins us on earth with the report.

00:11Pinto, roughly to be translated as spotted roosters.

00:15This is the icon of Nicolás Maduro's campaign.

00:18The candidate and head of state is in Petare, one of Caracas' favelas that is one of the

00:22biggest in Latin America, founded 403 years ago.

00:27He promises to finance one million new small businesses, for families and the humblest.

00:33The candidate once again states that the extreme right is trying to obscure the electoral process

00:38using the governments of the United States, Argentina and Ecuador.

00:42They are looking for no elections.

00:50A hecatomb to shout for the suspension of the elections.

00:55I know the plans, nerves of steel, calm and sanity.

01:03And rain or shine, on July 28 there will be elections in Venezuela, nobody is going to

01:09sabotage them.

01:17And also in Petare one of the nine opposition candidates, in a meeting with some of his

01:22followers preparing for today's events.

01:29Thank you very much for interviewing me.

01:32I want to be president because I am sure that I can make Venezuela the best homeland in

01:35the world, with an economy with social inclusion that will make it possible for those who have

01:39less to live much better.

01:46Operation Gallup begins, with the swearing in of more than 5,000 people belonging to

01:51the Venezuela First Party.

01:53In these days they will mobilize in the communities campaigning in favor of their candidate Jose

01:58Brito.

01:59Brito denied rumors about a possible resignation from his presidential candidacy.

02:09We will not allow that four rich people of this country go and set fire to this country,

02:14to confront us with our siblings, because whoever here is a Chavista or an opponent,

02:18above all of that, we are all from Caracas, we are all Venezuelans.

02:25The evangelical pastor Javier Bertucci from the Party of Change is in Zulia, the region

02:30with the most voters in the country.

02:33He affirms to continue in the race for the presidency.

02:38Because I am stronger, you decline, and you also decline, that is not democracy, democracy

02:42is everyone participates and the people choose one of the options, and in that sense, no,

02:46I am not going to decline.

02:51And the law indicates that up to 10 days before the start of the voting, any party may substitute

02:56or modify its nomination.

02:57If there is no time to change the photo on the ballot sheet, the votes will be credited

03:02to the substitute candidate.
