00:00 An interview with the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, carried
00:04 out during the Maduro podcast, the leader emphasized that between 2018 and 2020 at least
00:10 20 destabilization plans were detected, among them five assassination attempts.
00:18 We made 20 substantiated complaints of serious acts against the stability of the Republic
00:24 and the peace of the Republic.
00:27 If you were a minister between 2018, 2019 and 2020, you filed at least 20 claims, which
00:37 included attempted magnacide, the frustrated magnacide of August 4, 2018, which included
00:43 training of mercenaries in paramilitary camps in Colombia, which included psychological
00:51 warfare operations, which included serious sabotage against the Venezuelan electrical
00:57 system, attempted assassination of leaders of the Bolivarian Revolution, attempted takeovers
01:04 of military posts, theft of weapons in military units, attempted coup d'état of different
01:10 sides called "blue strike" when they wanted to involve deserting officers of the Venezuelan
01:19 Air Force, because they have also developed a psychological field war on our Bolivarian
01:27 National Armed Forces and they have also been defeated.
01:35 But they always manage to get some traitor in the making, who succumbs to the requests
01:38 and offers they make, but it is amazing the attempts of magnacide, for example five known
01:43 assassination plans.
01:44 Discovered, unveiled and defeated, and cancelled as people say.
01:52 And with confessions of those involved.
01:55 During the interview, Jorge Rodríguez and President Nicolás Maduro also highlighted
01:59 the efforts made by the Government of Venezuela to reactivate the Barbados Agreement.
02:05 The National Assembly presented the agreement, especially the political agreement.
02:09 The three agreements were presented in plenary session of the National Assembly and the text
02:13 of those agreements were approved.
02:15 They have constitutional rank at the legislative level of the National Assembly.
02:19 They have legal rank, consequently they were published in the official gazette with a rank
02:22 that covers punctuation according to the Assembly.
02:25 It is very important that they were given a higher rank, very non-dialogue, understanding
02:30 and respect for the agreements that have strictly respected.
02:37 And the plenary session commissioned me to present an appeal before the Constitutional
02:40 Chamber for that Chamber to discuss the constitutionality of the mechanism and those agreements.
02:47 And in fact the Constitutional Chamber decided that those agreements were perfectly within
02:53 the constitutional parameters.
02:58 That is to say that the legislative power and the judicial power endorse with their
03:02 actions of juries.
03:05 These Barbados Agreements and the established mechanism, all this in a tremendous effort
03:10 that we have made.
03:13 I thank you very much, Jorge, for all the effort, the patience you have had to talk
03:17 with the gringos of the Trump administration and with the gringos of the Biden administration.
03:22 But above all, the most difficult thing of all, to talk with the extreme right.
03:28 With that extreme right, we have to talk about the constitutionality of the mechanism.
