Transcript

00:00We go live to Venezuela, the head of the Venezuela Nuestra campaign command offers statements.

00:07The people of Venezuela,

00:11very difficult,

00:16few, there were a few difficulties and all voting stations, polling stations were installed

00:25and it was a fast electoral system that facilitates the will of the electorate.

00:36We want to inform that the electoral process today is completely has been with fastness

00:47and it is worthy to praise and it's very shocking to see so many women, so many men of the people,

00:59of our people that are going to fulfill, to comply with their duty,

01:04with the duty of Venezuelan citizens to choose to elect our president and with that election

01:12to defend the peace of the republic that so much has cost us defending peace,

01:19defending economic recovery, defending our sovereignty.

01:24So about Venezuela, we are the ones who deem,

01:32so we don't interfere with anyone's affairs.

01:38So this external and foreign governments cannot interfere in that.

01:48And so there will always be outlets and far-right wing who attack a system that, I have to say it,

02:00it's just heavy over the whole world because this electoral system is so much safe, so much auditable

02:10as this electoral Venezuelan system.

02:15We have to, we want to congratulate the Planned Republic for their maximum deployment all over the polling stations

02:28and we have to insist that this is an election of every Venezuelan,

02:37this is a demonstration, an example of an electoral process

02:43and today Venezuelan people are speaking on the polling stations.

02:51And when the electoral event finishes, what the electoral council says today,

03:01which is a special day for us, today is the birth anniversary of the man who transformed the history of this country

03:10and vindicated millions of Venezuelans who were just backed, who didn't exist for the big elites.

03:24Today is the birth anniversary of Chavez and the voice of the electoral council is the voice of God.

03:35So what the electoral council points out would be the bulletin that would determine the tally of elections.

03:43I would be very pleased to answer some questions by the Sputnik agency.

03:50Rodriguez, good morning, how are you?

03:56When Elvis Amoroso spoke, he referred to those ex-presidents who didn't comply with the requisites to enter the country.

04:15I would like to answer, I want to insist that today is a big day for Venezuelans,

04:25today is our day, today is a day in which we are fulfilling with the strengthening of our constitution,

04:36of our constitution of the Bolivarian revolution that was made by the Venezuelan people.

04:45There are over 800 international observers all over the country, all over the polling stations,

04:52they have participated in the audits, they have complied with the established requirements.

05:01So those who want to try to hinder the voice of the Venezuelans, we have to say that we are not interested.

05:14It's completely ridiculous to try to discredit these elections instead of apologizing in their own countries for the people,

05:36because today is our day, the day of Venezuelans.

05:44Today is the day in which we are distributed by the 16,000 polling stations defending peace and our future.

05:58By BTV, Mariana Mata.

06:01Hi Mariana, good morning.

06:05Two specific questions, the one related to Amoroso said, reviewed all this process to arrive to these elections,

06:17and he claimed that several opponents made some attacks,

06:27and so what's the message to these opponents in these elections that are underway with 10 candidates?

06:37And some far-rights are just calling for some campaigns for doing some rallies,

06:47so this has to do with the plans you denounced by the transnationals.

06:55So come to see the people of Venezuela voting on the streets.

07:02This is a paraphrase of a poem, a very painful poem of Pablo Neruda,

07:08which has turned into a positive event, people on the polling stations,

07:15going in the polling stations with an electoral system that is an envy for the world.

07:22I don't know any other electoral system that efficient.

07:29The functioning of the plan republica and the functioning of the state is to take care of peace,

07:36take care of the polling stations, and take care of the expression of the people,

07:44be effective and respected, and that is what is happening right now.

07:49If something occurred, if a desperate plan tried to hinder this process,

07:59we will denounce it on time.

08:02Hugo Guanipa from Venezuela.

08:06Today it is a very important day for our country, for the world,

08:11so all the people are on the spotlight for Venezuela,

08:17and so I would like to ask you, how have you seen the coverage of the president of the electoral council?

08:27He denounced that.

08:30What could you say about the coverage of the outlets?

08:38A few minutes ago, Jose Brito requested the population to continue in peace,

08:49and if you have a balance of the house being the activation of one per ten,

08:55that leads the party of the great patriotic Paul,

09:02with the absolute respect of the statements by the national electoral council,

09:11our political methodology is accepted.

09:16I could not say anymore, but let's keep deploying,

09:23let's keep as it has been happening,

09:29and then when the time comes, we will be able to talk about the effectiveness of our political methodology.

09:39With the incidents of violence, well, all Venezuelans know who are the ones who summon to violence,

09:49who insist on depreciating some people from others because of our skin color,

09:57because they've got big last names, and they were owners of the big wealth of Venezuela for centuries,

10:09but this is another Venezuela, this is the future, this is the Venezuela of our future,

10:16this is a Venezuela that today produces their own food,

10:22this is a better Venezuela, we have learned from difficulties,

10:32and we have evolved ahead of difficulties,

10:37and so in the events, we have to respect the will of the people,

10:45and another comment, we need to darken the good development,

10:55don't dare to cross the line, the rest, we are deeply excited,

11:05and we congratulate the people, and a hug for everyone.

11:10These are the statements of Jorge Rodriguez.

11:19We were listening to the statements of the head of the Venezuela Nuestra campaign command,

11:23Jorge Rodriguez, as he was assessing how the elections are unfolding,

11:28and also once again denounced the far-right's attempts of the opposition to destabilize and discredit the election.

11:34Stay tuned with Trezor English for more updates as the journey moves forward.
