00:00
The Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela is saying, after exercising, his right to vote. Let's listen.
00:10
Despite of the rain, people are voting peacefully.
00:17
Despite the rain, there is calm.
00:21
Everyone has the right patience.
00:25
We have been through some polling stations.
00:30
So after all, regardless of the rain, there is peace, tranquility.
00:36
There is absolute peace, tranquility.
00:41
Venezuelans have enough patience.
00:44
We have toured several voting stations.
00:48
There are a lot of people voting.
00:53
So the voting should end in the evening, when the National Election Council gives out numbers, including the Guayana Ezequiva.
01:12
This is a big achievement for our country.
01:18
Every year, every time there is an election, people go out.
01:23
There are awful contrary campaigns.
01:30
A little while, we saw some images of a region where people have to go on a boat.
01:42
And the same happens in other locations, like Tachira.
01:50
But there will be nothing interfering with this election.
01:54
There is no way to stop it.
01:57
Look at how many people around.
02:00
There is around here in this voting station.
02:03
Just one voting station.
02:06
And even though it's raining, there's people outside waiting in line.
02:12
They came to express their will as the Constitution provides the opportunity.
02:24
There are no shortcuts in this country.
02:30
It's been 32 times that we have hosted elections and peaceful elections.
02:37
So this is the 32nd election in 26 years.
02:42
And many more will come.
02:45
We have had public consultations that we do from time to time for budgets of communities.
02:55
This is an expression of true democracy, not the old representative democracy.
03:03
This is a democracy of the people, people going directly to vote, to express their opinion.
03:10
This is a people with a will to exert their power.
03:19
We've always had good, massive turnout.
03:29
People vote and people decide for themselves.
03:33
It's a simple process.
03:35
Those who say that there are no people at voting stations, well, they should take another look.
03:48
People are voting and they are not being pressured to vote.
03:52
No one is forced to vote.
03:54
People do it out of their own willingness.
03:58
And how is the procedure?
04:00
It's a very fast procedure.
04:03
Every time we make it easier.
04:05
The minute they take your fingerprint, everything follows through.
04:17
Everything that follows through goes very quickly.
04:19
You said so many people have been detained.
04:24
Among them, some of them foreigners.
04:29
Do you know anything about that?
04:31
Well, we wish we hadn't had any mercenaries coming.
04:37
But not even that has stopped this process.
04:43
Because we have a military-popular fusion.
04:48
The people know what's going on.
04:52
People know when someone is in a hotel and they are staying for three days as they do not know even anywhere in Spanish.
05:03
So we are guaranteeing peaceful in the country.
05:06
Peace in the country.
05:09
The country is peaceful from one end to the other.
05:15
There is not even one area where there is trouble.
05:19
The only thing we are having is a little bit of rain.
05:22
People are turning out in a civic demonstration.
05:30
Yes, this is not just...
05:32
This is not a forced voting.
05:34
This is...
05:35
People go to vote convinced that they want to nominate certain candidates.
05:44
When you're voting, you're voting against terrorism and fascism in favor of peace and sovereignty and tranquility.
05:53
It's a very conscious vote.
05:55
You have mentioned some of the things regarding the government in the Ezequiva region.
06:07
There's no problem.
06:09
We've only had rain in several states.
06:14
But people know how to overcome all those difficulties.
06:20
You know, the rain.
06:30
But we are choosing governors in an area where there is no governor.
06:35
In the Ezequiva region.
06:37
It will be the first governor.
06:44
And this 25th day of May 20,025.
06:48
That's a historic date.
06:56
We heard that the Guiana authorities forbid Venezuelan residents to go to vote.
07:03
Or they will be deported.
07:05
So, who is paying salaries in Guiana?
07:07
Epson Mobile.
07:08
There are employees of Epson Mobile.
07:12
The company could expel people from their company.
07:16
But we heard that one person had been detained in Guiana because that person had expressed the fact that that territory belongs to Venezuela.
07:30
We have nothing against the people of Guiana.
07:37
But the Ezequivo part is a part of Venezuela.
07:42
And it belongs to Venezuela.
07:44
There's no doubt about it.
07:46
And today, we're choosing a governor for that region.
07:49
And today, we're choosing a governor for that region.
07:53
The electoral process is rolling in perfect tranquility and peace.
08:01
Some people were astonished at how wonderful Venezuela is because we have so many mango trees, for instance.
08:20
And in certain areas, one mango is $6.
08:23
There's no doubt that Venezuela today is given a true demonstration of what democracy is.
08:32
You said that some tourist plots were being forged from Colombia.
08:42
The government of Colombia.
08:45
The strategy is planned by Uribe.
08:49
And now they also have now support from Ecuador.
08:56
But the most important thing about that, they have not been able to succeed here in Venezuela with all their plots.
09:08
We are having a peaceful election.
09:12
And whomever hasn't voted yet, please do.
