00:00Divinos de clima, templados...
00:05Hola a todos.
00:07Hi, how are you?
00:09Thank you so much.
00:10Are you asking for any help from the U.S. to get back to Venezuela?
00:15What kind of assurances did you get from Rubio today?
00:18Well, I have...
00:20told the Secretary of State that I want to go back to my...
00:25country as soon as possible.
00:27Certainly, they are important...
00:30meetings and agreements that we're working on abroad.
00:35And as soon as I finish working on those issues, I want to go back.
00:40But it's not only about me, it's about hundreds of...
00:45political leaders that have been forced to flee, many other...
00:50hundreds or thousands that are in hiding right now in Venezuela, that want to go out.
00:55And accompany our people, and certainly millions of Venezuelans.
01:00that are around the world, hundreds of thousands of those in the United States.
01:05that want to go back and establish in their country.
01:08But that requires...
01:10as you say, assurances, not only for their own security, but that they are...
01:15people will be able to, you know, reestablish their life in...
01:20invest and create opportunities for all.
01:24So, these...
01:25these are conditions that need to be worked on, not only for me, but...
01:30for millions of Venezuelans.
01:32Well, he also said that civilization...
01:35it's not the same as transition, and that certainly...
01:38.
01:39.
01:40.
01:41.
01:42.
01:44.
01:45.
01:40He understands, as I believe all Democrats around the world,
01:44Democrats see.
01:45That the only way to have a stabilized process...
01:50A long-term process in which we will have huge investments coming in.
01:55Venezuela, with a long-term perspective, is having democratic...
02:00institutions back in place.
02:02This morning in the Congress, he...
02:05He insisted in something that we've said several times, is that unlike other...
02:10countries that unfortunately do not have the resources to pay for their own recovery.
02:15Venezuela has unique natural resources, has an...
02:20an incredible geographic location...
02:25We have infrastructure, but most important of all, we have talent, human...
02:30resources, human capital in Venezuela and abroad in order to...
02:35put all these incredible opportunities and turn them into wealth and opportunities.
02:40for all.
02:41And also bringing great business...
02:45options for United States companies.
02:48We're talking about over a...
02:501.7 trillion dollar opportunity in 12 different...
02:55sectors that we have, you know, already disclosed in which...
03:00investments can be done.
03:01But that requires a rule of law.
03:03I don't think that you would play a role...
03:05in a future government.
03:06Well, that's a decision that...
03:10was made by the Venezuelan people.
03:12I think at the end, a legitimate government...
03:15will be decided by the Venezuelan people.
03:18And that's something he has insisted.
03:20Both him and the president.
03:22And I think that's what we all defend.
03:25You know, the people have the right to decide and be in the...
03:30center of this transitional process.
03:32Certainly we're facing a criminal regime.
03:35that has not only the civilian but also the military under terror.
03:40and that has destroyed our institutions...
03:42where this is perhaps the most corrupt...
03:45regime in the history of humanity.
03:48And that's why we do...
03:50need the support and companionship...
03:55of other democratic governments...
03:58such as the United States.
04:00But certainly, at the end, it will...
04:02the say will be on the people.
04:05of Venezuela.
04:06Are you confident that the revenue from Venezuelan oil...
04:10will ultimately go to the benefit of the Venezuelan people?
04:13Oh, absolutely.
04:14I believe...
04:15that if something has happened...
04:18in this...
04:19Excuse me?
04:20Okay.
04:21Oh, okay.
04:22Sorry.
04:23If something has happened...
04:25in this last 27 years...
04:27is that the revenue from Venezuelan oil...
04:30minerals...
04:31and other resources...
04:33have gone to corrupt...
04:35action one...
04:36and secondly...
04:37to Maduro's and Chavez's allies.
04:40Do you have an idea...
04:42of how much...
04:43oil...
04:44was...
04:45given for free...
04:46to Cuba, for instance?
04:48We're talking about...
04:49We're talking about...
04:50$63 billion...
04:52$63 billion...
04:53$63 billion...
04:55that was given for free...
04:57from Venezuela...
04:59with...
05:00people...
05:01starving...
05:02to...
05:03a communist...
05:04criminal regime.
05:05So...
05:06we do understand...
05:07there is a huge...
05:08fragility.
05:10weakness...
05:11in Venezuela's institutions...
05:12today.
05:13So...
05:14they are...
05:15being designed...
05:15mechanisms...
05:16through which...
05:17we can assure...
05:18that these resources...
05:19will go...
05:20directly...
05:21to the Venezuelan people...
05:22and invest...
05:23in what are...
05:24priorities...
05:25today.
05:25security...
05:26health...
05:27nutrition...
05:28education.
05:30and...
05:31public services.
05:32So...
05:33yes...
05:34I do believe...
05:35that that's something...
05:36that's been...
05:35taken care of...
05:36through...
05:37throughout...
05:38I...
05:39I...
05:40I really need to go...
05:41Thank you so...
05:40much.
05:41Thank you guys...
05:42everyone.
