00:00We want also to thank the National Electoral Council to the five representatives that today
00:15have been given a new demonstration of an electoral system that works clearly and has
00:25allowed to the Democratic Party to be with tranquility and peace.
00:35You can review the electoral events in any place of this continent, even in other points
00:42of the planet, and you can notice without a hesitation that Venezuela is an example
00:48for the countries of the world in the electoral events in entire peace.
00:58Even despite that always are them, the minority, the ones that are persistent in the darkness,
01:07in the hatred, and to seek to confront brothers and sisters, and to find a way to attack what
01:17is the actual mean of being Venezuelan, which is close and warm people.
01:26We want to congratulate the deployment of the great republic that guaranteed this square,
01:32because we can say it now from the last couple of days, threats were given against the action
01:40of the people in the state of Venezuela, and those threats were sorted out by the President
01:47Nicolás Manulo and by the Venezuelan state, even in the silence, to stop those actions
01:56to be against the development of the electoral events.
02:00Now that the electoral event has happened and we have the result, we can say that those
02:08were failing.
02:11We stopped this upburst of sabotage to happen, to generate fear in the population.
02:22We cannot give any results.
02:25We have to wait patiently for the report of the National Electoral Council, but immediately
02:35after that this report is emitted, we are going to wait for you, where you know, to
02:46find ourselves who do you know already.
02:56Let's answer some questions through Venevision.
03:00How are you, Rafael?
03:01Good evening, deputies.
03:03Precisely what I was asking to the Governor Héctor Rodríguez this afternoon, the tour
03:10that we made during almost a whole day, we saw a big participation of people, mainly
03:21the elders and the entire opposite, a lot of young people participating and going into
03:29voting in the centers, in the areas where we've been mostly in our coverage, in our
03:37operative Democracy 2024.
03:40From your lens and the general command in this process that is different from others
03:47that have been put into light in the past, well, we had in our center machinery really
03:59well oiled and we tested one ANOVA again that allowed us to know what was happening in real
04:06time in every single municipality, in every state and in our national center, and we noticed
04:13a development of the event of elections with the characteristic and it was the participation
04:20with an asymmetry in the centers of the polling stations.
04:26For example, the Caracas city in the voting centers of the east of the city, they started,
04:35as naturally happens in these centers of election sectors, with a participation, a very important
04:41participation in the first hours, but in the next hours was unflattened in the participation
04:49in those centers and also in the rest of the centers.
04:55And other examples in the popular areas, in the interior of the country, and the areas
05:05where the strength of the revolution of Venezuela, they started also with strength and we could
05:12determine that our elderly population were the ones that went earlier to the voting centers.
05:23And as you were saying, in the popular areas, in the interior of the country was maintained
05:30the influx of votation during the whole day, Diosdado, Delsi, Hector and I, we were in
05:38a center, an election center in the Sucre parish in Caracas, and they were still voting
05:47at 5.30 p.m. when we were there.
05:50So there were having interior occasions and asymmetric participation, speaking of voters.
06:05The perception and the lessons that Venezuela is giving to the world is that, us, we have
06:11the strength, we have the determination to make the matter of Venezuela from Venezuela
06:20and among them.
06:22And it's unacceptable that factors, external factors of the country, whichever it could
06:29be, mostly are trying to interfere in matters that are only concerned from the Venezuelans.
06:38And today, the people have spoken and this voice of the people must be respected and
06:43all of us will make it happen.
06:49My conclusion, I think, that is close to a stage that the people is giving a very important
06:59lesson to the ones that are calling for violence and the sanctions request against Venezuela,
07:05the ones who clap and celebrate that 962 sanctions are weighed upon Venezuela, and
07:15like the 17th Constitutive Assembly signed the peace with the Republic, these elections
07:21and this result will mark the defeat of the extreme factors in Venezuela and are signing
07:28the definitive defeat of the aggressor from the exterior.
07:33A new stage has come, a new stage of building, a stage where the first decree – I cannot
07:42say that, we will speak about that later – but a new stage is building where the Venezuelans,
07:52we can find each other, we can, as in other times we've been doing, to give conversations
08:02among different sectors.
08:04And the main mission is everyone to put the effort together to this economic recovery
08:11will be faster in Venezuela.
08:18By Tel Aviv, Daniel Alvarez.
08:20Good evening, deputies.
08:21Good evening to my journalist colleagues.
08:26I want to ask, the governor of Miranda has indicated a few hours ago that Operation Remate
08:33is being carried on, and I want to know if it's happening right now and in which city.
08:38Thank you.
08:39Well, Daniel, the Remate is happening from 6 a.m. till 6 p.m., and in some occasions
08:53when there is a wide participation of voters, the National Electoral Council has decided
09:00to prolong those voting events, but as I was saying, there was a meaningful participation
09:10in the morning hours, and this group of the center that is a characteristic is finding
09:17itself in sectors of the half and high class in different cities, unflattered, very fast,
09:25and as the electoral event and the voting act is very simple and very fast, and this
09:30time was only one step, which is even more simple to vote for governors or deputies,
09:39so this was way more fast than in the development of the electoral.
09:45So at 6 p.m., the voting act was ended in the majority.
09:53Some of the rest were still open, but the majority ended up at 6 p.m.
09:59Thank you.
10:02And by the National Radio of Venezuela, Gabriel Fuentes, good evening.
10:08An international observer from the United States was saying, Jason Hickler, that he
10:14could assure two things.
10:17The fraud sentences are false, and he was assuring also that the elections of Venezuela
10:23are safer than in the United States.
10:25I want your analysis on this, and speaking of the elections in our country, today the
10:32fighting rooster and other night candidates were presented, and I want to note at this
10:36time, as Vicente Lucena was saying in electoral acts, previous electoral acts, that what at
10:45this time is a reversible tendency, and by the other hand, I'm still in the question
10:52in your first intervention, the banking of the people is going to be open?
10:59Well, let's start by the opinion of the international observer from the United States.
11:07I think Venezuela waves the curious record of being the only country and the only electoral
11:20event in where one of the ten candidates that are participating in the event are claiming
11:29fraud beforehand.
11:31We have never seen a thing like that, because the plan was another one.
11:35The plan was to participate in base of the parameters established in the Constitution.
11:42No, the plan was to use this electoral event, to use the campaign of the elections to seek
11:51the way to get the violence to be unleashed in some points and on some areas of the country.
11:59That was a real plan, and they didn't sign the agreement upon the National Electoral
12:06Council recognizing the results, and they permanently insisted and were given a fraud.
12:14How can you speak about fraud if it's not the result into the light?
12:20We want to reject any form of attempt of violence for any sector of the politics in the country,
12:31because what Venezuela really wants is tranquility, peace, to be at home, quiet, to go to work
12:39in the morning, to be in the company, to produce, to carry on this process, to fast the recovery
12:48of the economy that we have.
12:51It's enough to face brothers and sisters against brothers and sisters.
12:56We have to put an end on this.
12:58And a time has come where all of us need to take care of the peace.
13:07So we understand that there is a sector that prefers to receive orders from outside and
13:15to generate acts of violence, and we won't allow this, and we won't allow this.
13:21And I'm saying all the Venezuelans and Venezuelan citizens in general, we are responsible, and
13:29we are the gatekeepers of the criteria of the public powers in Venezuela.
13:38Others are the ones that permanently are attacking and of the popular power, and we're going
13:46to respect the moment and the result of the National Electoral Council, where it's read
13:52the report with a tendency, a reversible tendency of the result in the elections of today.
14:01I'm only saying where we're going to be after this result is written.
14:07And I'm also saying you can guess where we're going to be.
14:12We want you to be here with us, to that place, to be reunited with you-know-who.
14:22And besides that, we can say this where it's going to be.
14:30Today is the birthday of the greatest man that this homeland has given birth in the last 150 years.
14:41We feel the strength and the spirit of Chávez in this comeback that means the event of the electoral.
14:52We feel the embrace of our Commander Chávez as if he's taking care of his son, President Nicolás Maduro.
15:01The most intense electoral campaign that I have ever witnessed in my life or met in other,
15:09about other electoral campaign, always the strength and the presence of Hugo Chávez.
15:15And I can assure this because it has nothing to do with the electoral event.
15:19This is our thing to the end, our celebration.
15:25And we will share cake for Commander Chávez in the last hours.
15:31Anyone else?
15:35There's no more questions.
15:37Marcos, go ahead.
15:39The violence has failed, the hatred has failed, and the love has won.
16:08The independence has won, the sovereignty of Venezuela has won, and also won the peace.
16:19Marcos, and we're ending.
16:21I want to ask for a tweet of Leopoldo López from a few minutes ago that says,
16:27we need to believe it because we won.
16:29And it was something like that.
16:32What is your thoughts about this?
16:35I will invite you to search in any web page and on the internet,
16:41the definition of two psychiatric disorders.
16:44One, the psychopathic of personality and two, antisocial illness of personality.
16:54Those are your answers.
16:55Thank you.
