00:00Everyone is going to be in Venezuela today.
00:02Why? Because Nicolás Maduro is going to take over the presidency without a fundamental review.
00:08For any democratic government, it is necessary to know how to show the documents that prove in which places he won an election.
00:16Maduro never showed the documents.
00:18The international press is calling attention to this.
00:21Meanwhile, Edmundo González Urrutia just left in Panama the ballots that prove that he won the elections.
00:31But Maduro is going to assume the same today.
00:34And how is the situation in Venezuela?
00:36And think that the main border that Venezuela has is with Colombia.
00:41Well, Colombia decided to close the border with Venezuela out of fear of incidents and conflicts.
00:47Today, the border between Colombia and Venezuela is going to be closed.
00:51Natalia Roca is in Caracas.
00:53What is happening today, Natalia? How are you?
00:57Hello, good morning.
00:58Well, look, today is a completely historical day.
01:01I took advantage of this opportunity from very early to greet all Venezuelans who are in Argentina
01:06and see how this fight is going for everyone in the world.
01:10Really, yes, what I have always been saying.
01:12It is already a definitive fact that Nicolás Maduro swears for the third time in Venezuela.
01:19Let's remember that in the period of Hugo Chávez there were three periods.
01:24There would be almost six if Maduro remained again as president of Venezuela until 2031.
01:32The spirits are on the floor.
01:35Really, the expectations are very high.
01:38The followers of Edmundo González really hope that Mr. Edmundo will also keep his word to arrive in Venezuela
01:46and hope remains alive.
01:48Let's hope to see how it develops today.
01:51But even if he arrives, even if Edmundo González Urrutia arrives in Venezuela,
01:56even if there is a request for capture and $100,000 in rewards,
02:01what could he achieve against a regime supported by the military?
02:08That is what all Venezuelans want to know.
02:10What is really going to be achieved?
02:12Are they really going to keep their word?
02:14And stop that.
02:16Stop talking so much and definitely take action.
02:20Because we also talk about the opposition and see if it will definitely fulfill what it has promised.
02:26The fact of thinking that Edmundo can arrive in Venezuela
02:29and know that he has an arrest warrant,
02:31that as soon as he steps a finger in Venezuela,
02:33as Diosdado Cabello said as Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace,
02:37the fact of capturing him, we do not really know what the procedure is.
02:41Maybe that is a strategy.
02:43We do not know, we do not honestly know what the opposition's response will be.
02:49However, what I was thinking is, well, a hypothesis.
02:53If Edmundo González arrives in Venezuela and cannot walk freely on the street,
02:57what will he do?
02:58Will he take refuge in an embassy?
03:00We really do not know.
03:02The expectations are very high, my colleague.
03:04What reading do you make of what happened yesterday with María Corina Machado?
03:07Because when we spoke last night,
03:09we did not know if the video was authentic or not.
03:13And then Diosdado Cabello appeared.
03:15I don't know if what they were singing,
03:17Se me perdió la cartera, is a very well-known salsa there in Venezuela.
03:20The truth is that here we did not know it.
03:22But all that thing of him showing his wallet,
03:25people singing, Se me perdió la cartera.
03:28What is all that?
03:31Yes, well, in Venezuela, everything that happens,
03:34we always make fun of everything.
03:36That is something that characterizes us as Venezuelans,
03:39that from a tragedy we always get the good.
03:42And well, in this case, Diosdado,
03:44this is his special program on YouTube,
03:47and every time he talks about María Corina,
03:50he makes an effort and takes it as a joke,
03:53the subject of the wallet.
03:55Because it was what María Corina said,
03:57that what fell to the ground was his little blue wallet.
04:01Okay, but then she said in a statement
04:03that there was a bullet wound.
04:07No, not until now.
04:09As far as I know, no.
04:11Ah, because she tweets later saying
04:13that there was a bullet wound,
04:15solidarity with a bullet wound.
04:17That's why, I mean, the version is missing a bit.
04:19Yes, I saw detained.
04:20Her version, right?
04:22Yes, I saw a photo over there of a boy
04:24who was thrown to the floor.
04:26I think they were detaining him.
04:27A photo that circulated there on social networks.
04:29But reports, reports as such,
04:31of detainees, missing, wounded.
04:33So far, I haven't had one.
04:35Did the demonstration yesterday fail?
04:37Was it expected to be more massive?
04:41Of whom? Of the official or the opposition?
04:43No, no, of María Corina Machado, yesterday.
04:47No, I don't consider it to have failed.
04:49What happens is that there is a lot of fear and a lot of terror.
04:51Especially because now there is an impressive effort
04:54to militarize all the areas of Caracas.
04:57And people are afraid.
04:59Logically, there have been a lot of street calls
05:02since 2017 until now.
05:05And people are already a little exhausted.
05:07It's not because they want to discourage.
05:09But that's what the Venezuelan really feels.
05:11That he no longer wants streets,
05:13he no longer wants words.
05:15He simply wants an opposition that takes
05:17and does what it really promises,
05:19what it says it's going to do.
05:22But I don't think it was...
05:26How do I tell you? Sorry for the delay.
05:28I don't think it was a success.
05:31People really want to go out to the streets more,
05:34but they can't.
05:35Of course.
05:36How is the panorama on the streets?
05:38Are there still those guys
05:40who ride motorcycles with long guns?
05:43Are there still those FAES commandos?
05:45At some point, when I was working there,
05:47I was impressed to see
05:49what the FAES commandos are.
05:51Are those bodies still there?
05:53You don't know if they are police or parapolice
05:55going around the streets of Caracas?
05:59Yes.
06:00Well, they are no longer FAES.
06:02Now they are other bodies.
06:04Others called CONAS,
06:06DEGESIN, SEBIN.
06:08And yes, indeed,
06:10we all know here that they are the components
06:13of the State Security Organizations
06:15who defend the revolution in Maduro.
06:17Unfortunately, people don't feel safe
06:20when they see these people on the streets
06:23because instead of feeling safe
06:25from seeing them in the city
06:27trying to protect your safety,
06:29it's for another reason.
06:31It's like a sense that they want to tell you,
06:34hey, if you think differently, well, you know.
06:37Natalia, we thank you for your contact.
06:39Thank you for your work.
06:41Thank you very much.
