00:00The head of the Venezuelan Nuestra campaign command, Jorge Rodríguez,
00:03called on the people to mobilize during the closing of the campaign of candidate Nicolás Maduro.
00:08Let's go with our special envoy in Caracas, Yunus Öner, for all the details.
00:13Hello from Caracas, Venezuela. Just minutes ago, Jorge Rodríguez finished his press conference
00:20here at this place, at this podium, where he spoke about the recent plans of our Venezuela
00:27campaign supporting Nicolás Maduro's candidacy. Rodríguez stated that they will start visiting
00:34all the 23 states of Venezuela to close the campaign, and he also announced that there
00:41will be a great march here in Caracas on July 25 from 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock
00:49in the night, where millions of Venezuelans, millions of Caracanians will take to the streets
00:56to express their support for Nicolás Maduro in the elections on July 28. He also stated that
01:04on the evening of the election, July 28, they will first recognize the results of the National
01:14Election Council, they will celebrate these results, and they will also defend these results.
01:21This was a response to possible calls of fraud by oppositional politicians who had stated that
01:30they would not recognize the National Election Council's announcements regarding the election
01:35results. We also asked him, Rodríguez, about what he says to the reports of the Wilson Center
01:42that had encouraged, in the report beginning July, the opposition to count the votes by themselves
01:48and to make public statements about these, and the Wilson Center had also said, or had called,
01:56the US government and other governments to publicly and immediately recognize the so-called
02:02credible results, that is, according to them, the results that the opposition was going to announce.
02:08Here, Rodríguez said that while they did this before, they did this with Juan Guaidó,
02:15they believed stupidly, he said, that was the adjective he used, stupidly in this guy,
02:21they spent millions of dollars for this guy who ran away with the money and now he's having a
02:28good life and they are in the tendency to commit the same mistake again, said the chief of campaign
02:36of Nicolás Maduro, and he reaffirmed that they know how to fight disinformation, they are an expert
02:44of de-escalating bombs of disinformation, Rodríguez said, and they will, again, he reiterated,
02:53defend the election results on the street, if necessary, and he presented himself in that context
03:00very self-confident about winning the elections. So, in summary, it is going to be visiting 20
03:08states in the next days to close the campaign of Nicolás Maduro and the climax, the highest point
03:15will be a march here on 25th of July from 10 o'clock in the morning till 10 o'clock in the night
03:22as a demonstration of huge popular support for the candidacy of Nicolás Maduro.
