00:00Let's go live to Caracas, Venezuela, where the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court
00:08of Justice is holding hearings with the former electoral candidates of the July 28th elections
00:14as part of the investigations into the electoral process that is taking place in the country.
00:19At this moment, the Supreme Court of Justice Electoral Chamber is welcoming representatives
00:27from parties that supported former candidate José Brito from the Venezuela First Movement.
00:37Earlier today, the highest judicial authority of the country also received representatives
00:42from right-wing organizations, among whom were Zulia Governor Manuel Rosales from a
00:48New Time party, José Cartaya from Democratic Unity Roundtable, and also José Calzadilla
00:55from the Movement for Venezuela.
00:57Let's recall that none of them presented either evidence or records to the judges.
01:04In this context also, Edmundo González, who was a candidate for the Democratic Unity Platform,
01:11did not appear at the hearing in the Supreme Court of Justice Electoral Chamber, where
01:16he was suspected to present the voting records from the presidential elections held on July 28th.
01:25Also, the former candidate of the Great Patriotic Ball and President-elect Nicolás Maduro will
01:32appear on Friday before the Supreme Court to deliver 100% of the records in the possession
01:40of this movement.
01:41This political coalition is prepared to deliver 100% of the electoral records that are in
01:48their possession.
01:52At this moment, Carizlia RodrĂguez, the highest authority of the Supreme Court of Justice
01:58of Venezuela, is taking position in the courtroom, where representatives from parties that supported
02:10former candidate José Brito is appearing, according to the schedule presented.
02:22Let's remember that this week, the Supreme Court President Carizlia RodrĂguez, who are
02:26we seeing in our TVs at this moment, summoned all former presidential candidates to present
02:35the electoral records in their possession, and they are supposed to attend before court
02:41from August 7th to 9th.
02:48Also this request responds to the contentious action presented by Venezuelan President Nicolás
02:55Maduro, who asked the Supreme Court for a thorough investigation of the presidential
03:02elections.
03:03This was in the face of the violent actions promoted by the far-right wing in the country,
03:12who for several months are claiming that these elections were going to be a fraud,
03:21even before the elections took place in the country.
