Transcript
00:00On Monday, the Venezuelan government denounced the kidnapping of 18 migrant children by the U.S. government
00:05and demanded their safe return to the country.
00:09During a press conference, the head of the Unified Command of the Bolivarian Revolution, Jorge Rodriguez,
00:15condemned the separation of the Venezuelan children from their relatives after their deportation.
00:21Rodriguez, together with family members of the kidnapped migrants in El Salvador,
00:25denounced before national and international public opinion the kidnapping of children as an example of barbarism
00:33which violates the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Charter, and international law.
00:41Furthermore, he condemned the lack of action of United Nations Human Rights Chief, Volker Turek,
00:47who has yet to call for the release of those illegally kidnapped.
00:55We have decided to go to the public because we have already had frequent contact with Trump administration officials.
01:11In fact, we have spoken more often with Trump administration officials than we have with Joe Biden administration officials,
01:22including State Department officials with whom we have frequent exchanges.
01:28We have always told them, give us back our children.
01:36Not only have they committed no crime, but their parents, many of whom are here,
01:43have not committed any crime to be separated from their children and grandchildren.
01:49Rodriguez also criticized the United Nations in action about what he denounced as the human rights violation of the 18 Venezuelan children
01:59kidnapped in the United States as well as about the thousands of children killed by Israel in Gaza.
02:04The United States administration has lackeys in the United Nations.
02:14It has a bootlicker named Volker Turek, who doesn't say a word about the tens of thousands of children murdered in Gaza,
02:22who says absolutely nothing about the 250 to Venezuelans kidnapped in El Salvador,
02:29locked up in a concentration camp by this rat, and may the rats forgive me, by this rat of naid buccal,
02:37and who says nothing either about the 18 children kidnapped in the United States of America.
02:4318 niñas y niños secuestrados en los Estados Unidos.
