00:00Well, they say that we have to have new elections in Venezuela. Brazil is saying so.

00:18Lula.

00:19I met him in Brazil after the victory. We went there to visit him as leader of the trade union movement with a lot of love.

00:49Lula thinks that this could be settled through dialogue.

01:02Whoever is there to talk, that person will be always speaking on behalf of the gringos.

01:26They will never accept the win of Bolivarian revolution.

01:33After a commemoration of the revolution here, we invited Lula.

01:38And then we introduced Fidel, a strong personality. Lula has as leader of the workers, then also organizing the party.

02:00But I understand the constraints Lula has.

02:13There is an article that says that in the foreign ministry of Brazil there are only neoliberals and rightists.

02:35And these guys are willing to fight us.

02:42Lula went to visit the Pope.

02:52And the Brazilian foreign ministry.

03:05He wanted to speak.

03:12Because he had a message from the Pope.

03:35If the Vatican wants to speak to us, there is no reason to use intermediaries.

03:46They can't talk to us.

03:50Through the foreign minister of Berlin, we could talk.

03:55And we have been very clear.

04:03So we really don't need intermediaries.

04:07We didn't ask Lula to be an intermediary between the Pope and us.

04:12So we didn't answer Lula until he was not happy.

04:17But then, in an interview, someone asked him

04:27that why the dictator, after being a revolutionary, has become another Somoza.

04:45That was the question posed to Lula by the journalist.

04:52And he answered

04:57He said that he is no longer who he used to be.

05:13He is another dictator.

05:21So what can you expect from Lula?

05:27In this case.

05:36He has been ruling for two terms now.

05:47So apparently you like to be president.

05:51President of this great country.

05:58In the region, you like to become the representative of the Yankees in the region.

06:03That's why we broke relations with Brazil.

06:09It might be a powerful country, but we are a small country.

06:21We don't have the power of the Brazilian economy.

06:27But we have something which is more worthy.

06:32Dignity and the defense of our sovereignty.

06:37And Lula, the way you have behaved

06:47in relation to the legitimate president of Venezuela

06:54is a shame.

07:02It's a shame.

07:11Repeating the very narrative of the Green Girls,

07:24of Europe and of the treasonous countries of Latin America.

07:35And don't tell me that your government was extraordinary.

07:42I mean, you had a good government the first time.

07:47But I remember also the Lava Jato scandal, corruption scandals,

07:54during your administration.

08:01So we cannot say that your administration was very proper.

08:08And I can say many other things.

08:18If you want my respect, you have to respect me.

08:23If you want the Bolivarian people to respect you,

08:27respect the victory of President Maduro.
