00:00 Venezuela's executive vice president,
00:02 Erzy RodrĂguez, defends referendum on the Ezequiel
00:04 before the International Court of Justice.
00:07 The presentation of the Venezuelan delegation
00:09 takes place within the framework of Guyana's request
00:12 to stop the sovereign consultation in processing
00:15 the Bolivar nation.
00:16 Vice president RodrĂguez points out
00:18 that an intervention by the Hague will
00:21 go against the card of the United Nations
00:23 and will interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
00:26 From the Netherlands, Venezuela defends
00:34 the legitimate right to hold the referendum of the Guyana
00:37 Ezequiel.
00:38 The actions avoid the illegal actions of Guyana
00:41 that request to annul the consultation
00:44 before the International Court of Justice
00:46 in which Venezuela does not recognize its jurisdiction.
00:50 Let's see the following report.
00:54 The vice president of Venezuela, Erzy RodrĂguez,
00:57 stated that the Guyanese government of Mohammed Irfan
00:59 Ali has become an aggressor state
01:01 by pointing out that Guyana is the de facto occupant
01:04 of Guyana Ezequiel and will defend
01:07 its unquestionable and inalienable rights.
01:09 First, it is a de facto occupying aggressor state
01:15 of a territory that does not belong to it.
01:18 They know that this territory does not belong to them.
01:21 They know that this territory was part of a fraud that
01:24 took 15% of Venezuela's territory.
01:26 Secondly, having the Geneva Agreement.
01:29 It is very curious that having the Geneva Agreement
01:31 while the good office are in progress,
01:34 they go back to 1899.
01:36 That doesn't make any sense other
01:38 than to escape from international legacy.
01:41 And well, all the infractors are already
01:43 crossing all the limits of infractions
01:45 they are committing in the maritime territory.
01:52 The vice president denounced that Guyana has not only
01:55 decided not to comply with the Geneva Agreement,
01:58 but also intends to promote a change in the Venezuelan
02:01 political system.
02:02 We are here because Guyana has not only
02:07 decided to abandon and violate the Geneva Agreement,
02:16 but now pretends to transgress the international order
02:19 and promote a change in the Venezuelan political system
02:27 with an interventionist and reckless action that
02:31 seeks to instrumentalize a court against Venezuela.
02:34 The high representative of the Venezuelan government
02:39 described the actions of Guyana as unprecedented
02:43 and of great danger to the international community.
02:46 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
02:47 Today we will demonstrate that Guyana's request is
02:54 unprecedented and unexpected, and is
02:57 dangerous for the rest of the international community,
02:59 especially for those states that has
03:02 constitutional formulas of participation
03:04 similar of those to Venezuela.
03:06 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:07 Regarding the consultative referendum
03:15 to be held on December 3, Delcy Rodriguez
03:17 stressed that it is an exercise of sovereignty
03:20 and that nothing allows Guyana to break this right.
03:23 To try to prevent Venezuelans from exercising their sacred
03:29 right to vote on a matter of their own,
03:35 internal, an enormous transcendence,
03:37 such as a controversy over the Guyana-Ezequiel,
03:40 it will not succeed.
03:41 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:42 The realization of a consultative referendum,
03:47 it is an exercise of sovereignty and self-determination
03:51 of the people.
03:52 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:53 Nothing improves Guyana to restrict
03:57 the right of the Venezuelan people
03:59 to freely establish their political status
04:01 or to intervene in their internal affairs.
04:04 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
04:05 Delcy Rodriguez pointed out that the Guyana's government
04:10 showed before the international body was exposed,
04:13 while warning that the regime of Irfan Ali
04:15 promotes the imperial and colonialist arrogance
04:18 of the United Kingdom and the United States
04:20 by defending the transnational interests of Exxon Mobil.
