00:00The first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello,

00:04during a press conference at the National Headquarters of the PSUV,

00:07addressed the departure from the country of former presidential candidate of the far right,

00:12Edmundo González.

00:16That act of Mr. Edmundo González is a voluntary act.

00:20On August 29th, he left for the embassy of the Netherlands.

00:25On the 29th, and he says so himself, so does the foreign minister of the Netherlands.

00:31And today Edmundo himself thanks the Netherlands, why does he thank them?

00:37Because they welcomed him there, since the 29th.

00:41His plan was never electoral, it was never electoral.

00:45What is certain is that what Mr. González Urrutia did, who is in Spain at the moment,

00:50he did it as he says it in his letters, without saying anything to anyone from the opposition,

00:56and he caught them by surprise, he did not care.

01:00Because if González Urrutia was running away from someone, it was from the right wing,

01:05from Maria Corina, from fascism as he felt it very close, not from the government.
