00:00During his program, Con Maduro Mas, the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro,

00:04accused his counterpart in El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, of being a serial and systematic violator of human rights

00:11after confessing to the kidnapping of 252 Venezuelan migrants in a maximum security prison.

00:17This comes in response to Nayib Bukele's recent proposal to exchange the Venezuelan migrants'

00:22kidnapping in El Salvador for people condemned for terrorist acts and corruption in Venezuela.

00:27In this context, Maduro denounced the systematic violation of human rights against the people of Venezuela

00:34and the complicity of the extreme right-wing in support of these aggressions,

00:39demanding guarantees and the immediate release of the Venezuelan nationals.

00:43A Venezuelan head of the state also denounced Bukele's actions against his own population,

00:48highlighting his repressive persecutory policies and violations of due process,

00:53stating that justice will be served for the crimes of his counterpart.

00:57The press conference given by the Attorney General of the Republic today in Venezuela

01:10puts the point where it has to be already in the international public opinion,

01:15including in El Salvador, that there's a very strong control of the networks and the media,

01:21a lot of money, a lot of money, a lot of money.

01:24Someday it will be investigated where so much money comes from,

01:28from the fortune of Mr. Bukele and his family,

01:32from the groups that surround him,

01:34Leopoldo Lopez, Lester Toledo,

01:37all this group of the Venezuelan fascist extreme right-wing that has become his right hand.

01:43Someday it will be known where so many millions of dollars come from to control

01:48all the networks, all the television stations, all the radios in El Salvador.

01:55But this way a gap has already been opened,

01:57and it is already a fact that this expression of the Attorney General of Venezuela,

02:02Tarek William Saab, is beginning to be repeated as an absolute truth.

02:06Bukele is a serial violator of the right to freedom,

02:12fair treatment, and the dignity of human beings.

02:18The Venezuelan president also emphasized that the presence of the 252 Venezuelan migrants

02:25in the mega prison of El Salvador without the right to due process

02:28constitutes a clear act of kidnapping.

02:30Two months after the families, their mothers and children demanded Mr. Bukele

02:40to give an evidence of life and to publish the list of the people he has kidnapped there

02:46in an illegitimate and brutal way.

02:49Two months later for the first time, yesterday, Resurrection Sunday,

02:54a cynical, diabolical thing in the middle of Resurrection Sunday,

02:58when humanity and us, Catholic Christians, are celebrating that Christ-defeated death,

03:06that life has triumphed, a special day for us Catholics and Christians.

03:11He stabs, but he recognizes for the first time, judicially speaking,

03:17he recognizes that he has 252 Venezuelans in jails at his disposal without trial,

03:23without judges, without the right to due process, without the right to defense.

03:35And he also refuses to publish the faith of life of each one of them

03:41to answer to their mothers and to answer to their lawyers that have been hired.

03:45How can this be called justice, democracy, freedom?

03:50He is a systematic and serial violator of human rights from the Savior

03:55against the Venezuelan people.

03:56Human rights from the Salvador against the Venezuelan people.
