00:00We have to leave aside to appealing to the judicial area to justify the unjustified.

00:10I repeat to the country today, tomorrow, and we will be repeating it, it's absolutely irresponsible

00:16with the peace of the country, with the Venezuelan people, that Edmundo Gonzalez has not arrived,

00:22has not attended this hearing, and this hearing was very important and very clarifying.

00:28I would like to say also that not attending these two hearings, Edmundo Gonzalez is actually

00:35getting involved in a contempt of court, and the contempt can bring about that the public

00:45office of the Supreme Court of Justice can order a conduction request.

00:51That doesn't mean that he's going to go to jail, but he can just order the public

00:57force to take him and to bring it here to clarify the issues that are being clarified

01:05and investigated.

01:06There is a contempt of court, which is very big, and which can entail a mandate by the

01:14jury against Edmundo Gonzalez, which is also very irresponsible with the country, a person

01:21that issues a communique, but also goes into hiding.

01:25This is irresponsible for a country that is claiming precisely to be able to resolve,

01:30to be able to present the elements, and which now is being denied that possibility to the

01:35Venezuelan men and women to resolve this situation for the peaceful means, for the rationality,

01:41and we have to denounce this as such.

01:43We have appealed to the first hearing and summon, and we just came today, and we will

01:49come to all the summons, all the subpoenas, in order to guarantee the peace in the country

01:54and that to reestablish the order in Venezuela and to act with responsibility with the country,

02:02a country that is claiming because they want changes, they want well-being, they want progress,

02:09but it seems like, and I repeat, that the purpose, the spirit and the purpose, the intention

02:15of some people that have participated in this process has never been, from a point of view

02:20of the electoral area, but is unfortunately in the insurrectional area.

02:26They talk about that they won on the 28th of July, they don't present any evidence,

02:32none of the political organizations have presented any evidence, but they don't talk about the

02:36verification, they always use this course, transition.

02:41This looks like a language associated with a scenario, an insurrectional context to an electoral context.

02:51If we want to resolve the problem here, if we want to play clean, we have to come here.

02:59The necessary is to come here, to see our faces, and really that he can just show the

03:09documents.

03:10If he doesn't do it, he's just giving the back to the Venezuelan.

03:15It's a coward situation, a coward position in the country.

03:19It's also to let himself, it's to generate a frustration, a new frustration to a part

03:27of the Venezuelan people that supported that option and that really is acting on the country.

03:38That is why I say, and I keep it, I would like to be wrong, I would like to be wrong

03:43myself, but unfortunately, I repeat, the plan was never electoral, the plan unfortunately

03:50was profoundly insurrectional.

03:54We are live to Caracas, Venezuela, where former electoral candidate José Brito from the Venezuelan

03:59First Movement offers statements to the press from the chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice

04:04amid the hearings to clarify the transparency of the elections.

04:08The candidate condemned far-right candidate Edmundo García's failure to appear before

04:13court and urged all former candidates to respect peace and democracy in the country.

04:18This is all for the moment, stay tuned with From the South.
