Transcript

00:00Yesterday, this person, González Gurrutia, came out saying that he was subjected to coercion

00:09and pressure from someone that no one denies is powerful, but is 170 centimeters, Dilsey,

00:23the vice president of the republic, who also has a bandage on her hand.

00:29He was subjected to pressure and blackmail.

00:39We, close to the truth as we are, told him, retract, correct yourself, correct this statement

00:50because also you are causing trouble to the ambassador of the embassy of Spain in Venezuela

01:02because all of these coercion and pressure events, as you call them, supposedly happened

01:11in the residence of the ambassador of Spain on the extreme right of Spain, along with

01:18their followers and the fascists of Venezuela, are repeating this.

01:27Well, first, yesterday, Mr. González Gurrutia, looking for ways to unlink from this situation,

01:43tried to get out of it, and he was into it more.

01:51Let's play a video.

01:53Fellow mates, I address to you to inform you about the truth of what happened with my departure

02:01from Venezuela.

02:02The regime pretends that all Venezuelans lose our hope.

02:08The whole world knows that they always resort to dirty game and blackmail and manipulation.

02:19Being in the residence of the ambassador of Spain, President of the National Assembly

02:24Jorge Rodríguez and Vice President of the Republic Dilsey Rodríguez, this is a video

02:37recorded by González Gurrutia yesterday in Madrid, capital of Spain, and in spite of

02:46the silly things he said, there's something interesting because he calls me President

02:54of the National Assembly of Venezuela.

02:56I mean, he recognizes that the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela is not

03:01Dinorah Figueras.

03:03Taking care of him in Spain is not the thief one way or the other.

03:09According to him, the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Venezuela is Jorge

03:15Rodríguez because let's prove that word by word it corresponds to the handwriting and

03:28concepts of González Gurrutia.

03:31Headline checked, Jorge Rodríguez, President of the National Assembly, headline of the

03:38letter.

03:39But there's something else that is even more important, which is that he refers to Dilsey

03:45Eloína Rodríguez Gómez as the Vice President of Venezuela.

03:51And what is Dilsey Eloína Rodríguez Vice President of?

03:57She's Executive Vice President of the Republic of Venezuela, appointed by who?

04:03It's like in Spain that there's a king of vice president for blood right or like in

04:13the Netherlands or the monarchies that exist in the European Union.

04:18No, she is appointed by the Constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros,

04:28and he is recognizing that the President of Venezuela is Nicolás Maduro Moros, who appointed

04:37his vice president.

04:42About the so-called coercion facts and blackmail facts, I want to say something about that.

04:49Stay tuned with this.

04:57We said yesterday, we established contact with the interlocutor and Mr. González Gurrutia

05:08as request from them because he expressed his desire of leaving the country and running

05:19away of this country.

05:22And he presented a document where he expressed his position about certain issues of the political

05:32life of Venezuela and his behavior according to what he said when he will leave the Republic

05:40of Venezuela.

05:41They looked for us.

05:47After advancing, we must say entirely, I don't want to be rude, but this is nothing else

05:55but a proof of giving up.

06:03He does a capitulation of a position and an aspiration that was defeated by the people

06:10of Venezuela on July 28.

06:14This is a capitulation in military terms.

06:17If we were in a confrontation, he is giving up.

06:21But only we are very careful of the respect and honor and the intentions of the people.

06:35If those people don't respect their honor, it's their problem.

06:42But in respectful terms and about his dignity, this is nothing else but a capitulation.

06:52Signed by Mr. González Gurrutia.

07:03When talking about the final aspects of his capitulation, we were summoned by Vice President

07:11Del Cid Rodriguez and I to where he was at that time, Mr. González Gurrutia, which was

07:18the residency of the ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain.

07:25Another element, very interesting, and speaks a lot about his character, Mr. González Gurrutia

07:33was in the embassy of the Netherlands the same day of the elections.

07:41Until the National Electoral Council didn't name the elected president, and the supposed

07:51fake tally sheets weren't shown yet, and the process of the electoral process wasn't started,

08:01and he wasn't being summoned yet by the Supreme Court of Justice.

08:09He wasn't in this supposed mistakes weren't reflected that were published in X by Mr.

08:23González Gurrutia, and then says to the prosecutor's office that he has nothing to do with this

08:28tally sheets.

08:29That's what he declared at that time.

08:33I still didn't know him to coerce him on the night of the 28th when he locked himself in

08:43the embassy of the Netherlands, when he was requested to go out to those violent acts

08:52summoned by the Supreme Court of Venezuela.

08:54He came out only one time of the embassy, breaking the law of the embassy.

09:03He was in an act, seated in a truck, and came back fast to the embassy of the Netherlands

09:10when the interlocutor appointed by him didn't look for him, and we started the conversation.

09:17Then he moved from the embassy of the Netherlands that is very close to the residency of the

09:22embassy of Spain.

09:25How these conversations occurred, there were several conversations.

09:30We have recordings of this.

09:32There were two personal conversations, but with the interlocutor appointed by him, we

09:38had several encounters to establish positions about the intentions and the things that he

09:52was going to say.

09:54When we arrived, we were welcomed by the ambassador.

10:00Something else has been said that we interrupted there.

10:06We are decent people.

10:09We don't break in embassies.

10:13We rang the bell, and nicely, the security personnel of the embassy opened the door.

10:23The ambassador was there and was greeting us nicely, and at the door was Mr. González

10:30Urrutia.

10:33We were in the living room of the house that I know very well, not because I attended any

10:40event of the embassy, but because there we held the conversations and negotiations with

10:48the sector of the oppositor rights when they caused the trouble of 2017, and we were in

11:00the living room of the house.

11:02Who were there?

11:05Well, the vice president, ratified by Mr. González Urrutia, and I, next to me, Mr.

11:15González Urrutia, and next to him, the interlocutor that we exchanged some position with him about

11:28the intentions of him to leave the country.

11:31What was the tone of this meeting?

11:38I'm going to show a fragment of the beginning of the meeting and then a fragment of the

11:45end so that you see the tone where he affirmed being forced.

12:01When we were sitting there, they offered us drinks, whiskey, they brought a bottle

12:26of whiskey and glasses, and then the ambassador brought ice and chocolates, Venezuelan chocolates,

12:33and the vice president, since she was taking some medication, didn't have any drink.

12:40And there's something I have to say here.

12:43There was a certain smell of alcohol at that meeting before the bottle was brought by the

12:54ambassador.

12:55I'm telling you this before the night when we were sent a solicitude by Mr. González

13:03Urrutia, and there was no way to find—since he was tired by the effects of alcohol and

13:13the medicines he takes.

13:15But that was the tone we were talking about there.
