00:00And now, in the context of the Colombian presidential run of election, we received Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera,
00:05master's degree in history and founding member of Vanguardia Colombia.
00:09Juan Gabriel, it's a pleasure to have you here and tell us your English.
00:15It's a pleasure to be here for me. Thanks for my invitation.
00:24So, I want to ask you, given that the official results of this election have not yet been announced,
00:32how do you interpret the margin of difference in the votes between the two presidential candidates,
00:38as indicated by the preliminary count?
00:42Well, the elections in Colombia, the Trump of Hablar de las Piedras,
00:48it's proof of the intervention of the United States,
00:54and the old webs of influence that they have in our country.
01:14And also, yes, I hear you. I hear you fine.
01:20The webs of influence are in the economy, in the technology,
01:28in all platforms of power of this country.
01:37This is the reality of this.
01:39For example, the people think very commonly the technology is neutral.
01:50The technology is non-neutral.
01:53In Colombia, for example, the software of the elections are administered by a United States company
02:03who has the power to change the results of the election.
02:09Those changes are doing in Honduras, in Peru, currently now in Colombia.
02:17This is the reality of this.
02:20The intervention of the United States and other countries and that in the election of Colombia is a reality.
02:30Our country is totally administrated for aid powers in this moment.
02:38The triumph of the triumph of the triumph of Pablardo de las Piedras.
02:42This administration of Pablardo de las Piedras,
02:46this administration of Pablardo de las Piedras,
02:48the powers are only increased in power.
02:54Other projects of sovereignty of our country are destroyed by these powers.
03:03That is the rule of this election and the result of that.
03:08I will move now to our second question because it can offer us a very interesting perspective.
03:14Given the rise of conservative sectors in Latin America,
03:17what consequences might the results have for regional integration and the initiatives launched in recent years such as the community
03:26of Latin America and Caribbean states?
03:29Well, the elections of Colombia have very much consequences.
03:36For example, one of the points of mail or despout in this election was the foreign policy.
03:44The foreign policy of Cepeda and Abelardo de las Piedras are totally and completely opposite.
03:52Abelardo de las Piedras have a very negative image of Venezuela, attack Venezuela in all sense.
04:05And he said in reprimanded occasions, he will follow the orders of the United States.
04:17For example, against Venezuela for all objectives the United States have in that country, in that situation.
04:30In the plane of integration, the integration of the country and the sovereignty of all countries we call patria grande
04:45are totally gone.
04:47In the case of Abelardo de las Piedras, he don't have any plan to integrate the continent.
05:01The Latin American Union is secondary or tertiary for him.
05:06And the objective of that is to put the foreign policy of Colombia in totally perspective of United States declaration
05:21and orders.
05:22That is the truth about that.
05:24This is not only for Colombia.
05:28This is a reality for the all countries of Latin America,
05:34because the change of the landscape of political orientation in this continent is a proof of that.
05:45This change of the landscape begins two or three years ago.
05:52And now there is a real continuation of this project.
05:58And the Colombia case is the most recent case of that change that United States is in polls right now.
06:10And also speaking not only about the foreign policy of Colombia, but also of the internal affairs.
06:17What would a more united Colombia look like?
06:19And how could the country move toward that goal?
06:24Well, that's an important question.
06:27It's difficult to answer.
06:30Very much things depend on the third year or two years of the government of Abelardo de las Piedras in
06:44that case.
06:45But I think the real question is what are the real objectives of the country, for example, for Colombia, United
07:01States relationship in that situation.
07:05I don't know exactly what is the objective of all of that.
07:15But I think the real question is what are the real objectives of the United States in this moment.
07:27In this moment, the real objectives of the United States is their organization of his country yards.
07:36His patiotrap, they call Latin America su patio trasero, the country yards.
07:45And they need to control all the countries of this continent to do more pressure on all countries around the
07:55world, especially China, Russia, who are in economy or real war against United States in this moment.
08:09And the objectives of that is the real potential danger for not only for Colombia, the whole continent is in
08:27that dangerous too.
08:32Thank you so much for your analysis for Tell Us to the English.
