00:00
We want also to thank the National Electoral Council to the five representatives that today
00:15
have been given a new demonstration of an electoral system that works clearly and has
00:25
allowed to the Democratic Party to be with tranquility and peace.
00:35
You can review the electoral events in any place of this continent, even in other points
00:42
of the planet, and you can notice without a hesitation that Venezuela is an example
00:48
for the countries of the world in the electoral events in entire peace.
00:58
Even despite that always are them, the minority, the ones that are persistent in the darkness,
01:07
in the hatred, and to seek to confront brothers and sisters, and to find a way to attack what
01:17
is the actual mean of being Venezuelan, which is close and warm people.
01:26
We want to congratulate the deployment of the great republic that guaranteed this square,
01:32
because we can say it now from the last couple of days, threats were given against the action
01:40
of the people in the state of Venezuela, and those threats were sorted out by the President
01:47
Nicolás Manulo and by the Venezuelan state, even in the silence, to stop those actions
01:56
to be against the development of the electoral events.
02:00
Now that the electoral event has happened and we have the result, we can say that those
02:08
were failing.
02:11
We stopped this upburst of sabotage to happen, to generate fear in the population.
02:22
We cannot give any results.
02:25
We have to wait patiently for the report of the National Electoral Council, but immediately
02:35
after that this report is emitted, we are going to wait for you, where you know, to
02:46
find ourselves who do you know already.
02:56
Let's answer some questions through Venevision.
03:00
How are you, Rafael?
03:01
Good evening, deputies.
03:03
Precisely what I was asking to the Governor Héctor Rodríguez this afternoon, the tour
03:10
that we made during almost a whole day, we saw a big participation of people, mainly
03:21
the elders and the entire opposite, a lot of young people participating and going into
03:29
voting in the centers, in the areas where we've been mostly in our coverage, in our
03:37
operative Democracy 2024.
03:40
From your lens and the general command in this process that is different from others
03:47
that have been put into light in the past, well, we had in our center machinery really
03:59
well oiled and we tested one ANOVA again that allowed us to know what was happening in real
04:06
time in every single municipality, in every state and in our national center, and we noticed
04:13
a development of the event of elections with the characteristic and it was the participation
04:20
with an asymmetry in the centers of the polling stations.
04:26
For example, the Caracas city in the voting centers of the east of the city, they started,
04:35
as naturally happens in these centers of election sectors, with a participation, a very important
04:41
participation in the first hours, but in the next hours was unflattened in the participation
04:49
in those centers and also in the rest of the centers.
04:55
And other examples in the popular areas, in the interior of the country, and the areas
05:05
where the strength of the revolution of Venezuela, they started also with strength and we could
05:12
determine that our elderly population were the ones that went earlier to the voting centers.
05:23
And as you were saying, in the popular areas, in the interior of the country was maintained
05:30
the influx of votation during the whole day, Diosdado, Delsi, Hector and I, we were in
05:38
a center, an election center in the Sucre parish in Caracas, and they were still voting
05:47
at 5.30 p.m. when we were there.
05:50
So there were having interior occasions and asymmetric participation, speaking of voters.
06:05
The perception and the lessons that Venezuela is giving to the world is that, us, we have
06:11
the strength, we have the determination to make the matter of Venezuela from Venezuela
06:20
and among them.
06:22
And it's unacceptable that factors, external factors of the country, whichever it could
06:29
be, mostly are trying to interfere in matters that are only concerned from the Venezuelans.
06:38
And today, the people have spoken and this voice of the people must be respected and
06:43
all of us will make it happen.
06:49
My conclusion, I think, that is close to a stage that the people is giving a very important
06:59
lesson to the ones that are calling for violence and the sanctions request against Venezuela,
07:05
the ones who clap and celebrate that 962 sanctions are weighed upon Venezuela, and
07:15
like the 17th Constitutive Assembly signed the peace with the Republic, these elections
07:21
and this result will mark the defeat of the extreme factors in Venezuela and are signing
07:28
the definitive defeat of the aggressor from the exterior.
07:33
A new stage has come, a new stage of building, a stage where the first decree – I cannot
07:42
say that, we will speak about that later – but a new stage is building where the Venezuelans,
07:52
we can find each other, we can, as in other times we've been doing, to give conversations
08:02
among different sectors.
08:04
And the main mission is everyone to put the effort together to this economic recovery
08:11
will be faster in Venezuela.
08:18
By Tel Aviv, Daniel Alvarez.
08:20
Good evening, deputies.
08:21
Good evening to my journalist colleagues.
08:26
I want to ask, the governor of Miranda has indicated a few hours ago that Operation Remate
08:33
is being carried on, and I want to know if it's happening right now and in which city.
08:38
Thank you.
08:39
Well, Daniel, the Remate is happening from 6 a.m. till 6 p.m., and in some occasions
08:53
when there is a wide participation of voters, the National Electoral Council has decided
09:00
to prolong those voting events, but as I was saying, there was a meaningful participation
09:10
in the morning hours, and this group of the center that is a characteristic is finding
09:17
itself in sectors of the half and high class in different cities, unflattered, very fast,
09:25
and as the electoral event and the voting act is very simple and very fast, and this
09:30
time was only one step, which is even more simple to vote for governors or deputies,
09:39
so this was way more fast than in the development of the electoral.
09:45
So at 6 p.m., the voting act was ended in the majority.
09:53
Some of the rest were still open, but the majority ended up at 6 p.m.
09:59
Thank you.
10:02
And by the National Radio of Venezuela, Gabriel Fuentes, good evening.
10:08
An international observer from the United States was saying, Jason Hickler, that he
10:14
could assure two things.
10:17
The fraud sentences are false, and he was assuring also that the elections of Venezuela
10:23
are safer than in the United States.
10:25
I want your analysis on this, and speaking of the elections in our country, today the
10:32
fighting rooster and other night candidates were presented, and I want to note at this
10:36
time, as Vicente Lucena was saying in electoral acts, previous electoral acts, that what at
10:45
this time is a reversible tendency, and by the other hand, I'm still in the question
10:52
in your first intervention, the banking of the people is going to be open?
10:59
Well, let's start by the opinion of the international observer from the United States.
11:07
I think Venezuela waves the curious record of being the only country and the only electoral
11:20
event in where one of the ten candidates that are participating in the event are claiming
11:29
fraud beforehand.
11:31
We have never seen a thing like that, because the plan was another one.
11:35
The plan was to participate in base of the parameters established in the Constitution.
11:42
No, the plan was to use this electoral event, to use the campaign of the elections to seek
11:51
the way to get the violence to be unleashed in some points and on some areas of the country.
11:59
That was a real plan, and they didn't sign the agreement upon the National Electoral
12:06
Council recognizing the results, and they permanently insisted and were given a fraud.
12:14
How can you speak about fraud if it's not the result into the light?
12:20
We want to reject any form of attempt of violence for any sector of the politics in the country,
12:31
because what Venezuela really wants is tranquility, peace, to be at home, quiet, to go to work
12:39
in the morning, to be in the company, to produce, to carry on this process, to fast the recovery
12:48
of the economy that we have.
12:51
It's enough to face brothers and sisters against brothers and sisters.
12:56
We have to put an end on this.
12:58
And a time has come where all of us need to take care of the peace.
13:07
So we understand that there is a sector that prefers to receive orders from outside and
13:15
to generate acts of violence, and we won't allow this, and we won't allow this.
13:21
And I'm saying all the Venezuelans and Venezuelan citizens in general, we are responsible, and
13:29
we are the gatekeepers of the criteria of the public powers in Venezuela.
13:38
Others are the ones that permanently are attacking and of the popular power, and we're going
13:46
to respect the moment and the result of the National Electoral Council, where it's read
13:52
the report with a tendency, a reversible tendency of the result in the elections of today.
14:01
I'm only saying where we're going to be after this result is written.
14:07
And I'm also saying you can guess where we're going to be.
14:12
We want you to be here with us, to that place, to be reunited with you-know-who.
14:22
And besides that, we can say this where it's going to be.
14:30
Today is the birthday of the greatest man that this homeland has given birth in the last 150 years.
14:41
We feel the strength and the spirit of Chávez in this comeback that means the event of the electoral.
14:52
We feel the embrace of our Commander Chávez as if he's taking care of his son, President Nicolás Maduro.
15:01
The most intense electoral campaign that I have ever witnessed in my life or met in other,
15:09
about other electoral campaign, always the strength and the presence of Hugo Chávez.
15:15
And I can assure this because it has nothing to do with the electoral event.
15:19
This is our thing to the end, our celebration.
15:25
And we will share cake for Commander Chávez in the last hours.
15:31
Anyone else?
15:35
There's no more questions.
15:37
Marcos, go ahead.
15:39
The violence has failed, the hatred has failed, and the love has won.
16:08
The independence has won, the sovereignty of Venezuela has won, and also won the peace.
16:19
Marcos, and we're ending.
16:21
I want to ask for a tweet of Leopoldo López from a few minutes ago that says,
16:27
we need to believe it because we won.
16:29
And it was something like that.
16:32
What is your thoughts about this?
16:35
I will invite you to search in any web page and on the internet,
16:41
the definition of two psychiatric disorders.
16:44
One, the psychopathic of personality and two, antisocial illness of personality.
16:54
Those are your answers.
16:55
Thank you.
