00:00And finally, until the publishing of the document signed by González Urrutia, nobody, not even

00:09him or the embassy, talked about coercion.

00:12Then the document was published and this position arose.

00:17I want to know your hypothesis about this silence and the position they took after the

00:22publication.

00:23I want to start for the end.

00:28This document was published by González Urrutia when he was in Madrid, say, from the Cielo

00:41de Rodríguez and me.

00:44As you said, if he thought that he had to denounce pressure, he just had to write it

00:57in this communiqué saying, they put pressure on me.

01:02He doesn't say it because it's not true.

01:06Then his lawyer, that I think is the lawyer, he ordered him to say that he didn't sign

01:19any document.

01:20We have a video we saw yesterday, and the lawyer stated that yesterday morning, because

01:34the fight that the extreme right wing sectors have was in websites that serve the Venezuelan

01:49opposition, and they exposed the handwritten version of the letter without a signature,

02:02who published that with the intention of creating fights and controversy in sectors of the extreme

02:12right.

02:13There is also the issue of jealousy, the issue of who is the boss of who, and they released

02:27this document, and instead of sending the lawyer to recognize it, they ordered him to

02:35say that that doesn't exist on the representation of the state of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela.

02:44I don't have any option but to publish it, because if he remained silent or said, yes,

02:54there's a document, I would be forced to stay quiet.
