00:00We are going live to Caracas, Venezuela, where the Supreme Court of Justice is holding hearings
00:06with former candidates of the elections of July 28th in the country.
00:12At this moment, the Supreme Court of Justice electoral chamber is receiving representatives
00:17from parties that supported former candidate Luis Eduardo MartĂn from the Democratic Action
00:25and also in this context today, earlier today, the highest judicial authority received also
00:31representatives from right-wing organizations, among whom were Zulia, Governor Manuel Rosales
00:38from a New Time party, Jose Cartaya from the Democratic Unity Roundtable, and Jose Calzadilla
00:45from the Movement for Venezuela.
00:47Let's recall that none of them presented either evidence or records to the judges.
00:52A few minutes ago also, the Supreme Court of Justice welcomed representatives from the
01:00party that supported former candidate Jose Brito from the Venezuela First Movement.
01:06Today, Edmundo González, who was a candidate for the Democratic Unity Platform, did not
01:13appear at the hearing in the Supreme Court of Justice electoral chamber, where he was
01:18expected to present the voting records from the presidential elections held on July 28th,
01:24thus disobeying an explicit mandate from the Supreme Court.
01:30According to the failure to appear before the electoral chamber, this action will have
01:37the consequences provided for in our current legal system, the Supreme Court.
01:43President Carizlia RodrĂguez warned when she sent the subpoenas to the political parties.
01:51Let's recall that in this context, the extreme right registered for elections and put up
01:56election witnesses, but since before the electoral process, like several months ago, González,
02:03Edmundo González, had already announced that he would sign fraud in these elections, and
02:11afterwards the election took place on July 28th, the far-right candidate, after realizing
02:19they would not win, they choose to promote violence with the intention of starting a civil war.
02:28We can see the Supreme Court President Carizlia RodrĂguez taking seat in the courtroom, while
02:33representatives of the former candidates to the elections are appearing before the highest
02:40authority, the highest judicial authority of the country.
02:45This is a process that took place after the action presented by the Venezuelan President-elect,
02:54Nicolás Maduro, who asked the Supreme Court for a thorough investigation of the presidential
03:01elections to clear any accusations of fraud promoted not just by the far-right wing of
03:07the country, but also by media campaigns through social networks from abroad.
03:16All electoral instruments in the political parties must be presented before the Supreme
03:22Court of Justice, something that several candidates have failed in doing so, for example Edmundo
03:30González, my father.
03:43Today it is all suspected the appearance of representatives from parties that supported
03:48former candidate Luis Eduardo MartĂnez from the Democratic Action.
03:58The intention is of the far-right to tarnish the election results.
04:07We were live to Caracas, Venezuela, where the electoral chamber of the Supreme Court
04:12of Justice is holding hearings at this moment with former electoral candidates of July 28th
04:18as part of the judicial investigations into the electoral process, an inquiry requested
04:23by re-elected President Nicolás Maduro.
04:26This is all for the moment, stay tuned with From the South.
