00:00From the South shows at this hour an exclusive interview given by the Venezuelan President
00:12Nicolás Maduro to television journalist Luis Guillermo García.
00:17He is going to offer statements in the context where, for example, the United Nations General
00:22Assembly are holding debates today regarding the global challenges of the world.
00:28Just a few minutes ago, the foreign minister of Venezuela offered his statements.
00:32Iván Gil assured during his intervention how Venezuela is willing to support the world
00:38in an orderly pace.
00:40Let's listen to the statements of President Nicolás Maduro during the interview.
00:45President, well, we saw it in the opening session of this fair.
00:51What is the meaning?
00:52Because Turkey is a particular country in the middle of two continents, Asia and Europe.
01:00The NATO also, but it's not Muslim.
01:06It has sometimes positions that are in confrontation with the interests of the imperialist world
01:14and NATO.
01:17What is the meaning for Venezuela of this crisis?
01:21The world is facing a transition towards a new era that is born already.
01:33The era of a pluricentric world, pluripolar world, several pluricentric and pluripolar
01:45two concepts.
01:48Bolivar said 200 years ago the balance of the universe, a balanced world where neocolonial
01:56or imperialist colonies don't pretend to impose to other people.
02:06This world has powers and superpowers.
02:08We and Turkey are part of those emerging nations, and we are in a transition towards
02:19countries with strong economies, with its own educational, technological, scientific
02:27process and with a new political independence that is growing.
02:34In this world, new groups are conforming so that this world has its expression in the
02:45dialogue between civilizations, the religious dialogue, the cultural dialogue, and a new
02:52and powerful economy has emerged.
02:56This world has as great superpowers China, Russia, India, it has as emerging powers countries
03:09like South Africa, the continent of Africa in general, countries like Brazil, Mexico,
03:17and Turkey is also one of these emerging powers.
03:20So we are building new geopolitics of the world.
03:25We are part and are protagonists from long ago of new geopolitics of the world.
03:33Modestly we can say from Venezuela, land of freedom, liberators, it was not a casualty
03:42that we have Francisco de Miranda, José de Sucre here, Simón Rodríguez, Andrés Peyo,
03:50Josefa Joaquina Sánchez, Luisa Cáceres Alesmendez, that today is celebrating anniversary.
04:02Among all of these, let's say, leaders and personalities of the highest level of the
04:08world, Venezuela is today a reference in the whole world in the political, moral, and spiritual
04:14field because we are in the middle of a great battle and Venezuela holds the admiration
04:22of the whole world since we had fought and have won in spite of the harassment and siege
04:34and also the fact of being a blocked and pursued country.
04:40I was saying this specifically in the installation of the second international affair, Turkey,
04:47Venezuela, even any place Venezuela is appreciated, if any people love Venezuela, it's Turquoise
04:58people.
04:59And as I was saying, it's a very important nation because it's Euro-Asiatic.
05:08Istanbul was important for all civilizations.
05:14You go to Istanbul and half of it is Europe and they have borders with Eastern Europe,
05:27Romania and other countries and half of Istanbul towards the Eastern is Asia and you see the
05:40difference of culture and color.
05:43So it's a marvelous country and I have proposed to the President that we not only are going
05:52to do an affair per year but two international affairs to Turkey and Venezuela, one after
06:03three months of each year and the other one in the last quarter and it has to be considered
06:11an economical, commercial, and technological affair of international character and to look
06:21for several levels of investment beyond our two countries.
06:25So I believe that from the first quarter of 2025, a new stage of economic relations between
06:35two countries is going to start.
06:37We are in the same path of building a new world, building peace for the world and we
06:42love each other, which is something marvelous.
06:47We not only want to advance together because we have the same vision of the world but also
06:55because we have better business opportunities for economic development between both countries
07:02and we want to make progress together because we love each other.
07:06The love from Turkey for Venezuela is great and the love that Venezuela's people have
07:12for Turkey also is great.
07:14Can you give us some details about that relation?
07:17How is the correlation of economic forces between Turkey and Venezuela, imports, exports,
07:24and potentials of both countries and relations?
07:28This year we will achieve $800 million of trade exchange with real products produced
07:39by the immense economic apparatus of Turkey with a great quality and products of Venezuela.
07:48And I have good news because in December we hope to reach $800 million on their side and
07:56$400 million on ours.
07:58We import $400 million and export $400 million.
08:03We are achieving balance in trade, the golden dream of any economic relation between countries
08:11and we are achieving it in 2024.
08:14So perspective of development and economic growth are amazing.
08:19We are at the doors of an economic advance between both countries.
08:28Our coffee is, last time we saw each other, the ex-account was eliminated just because
08:40you were in my program and Elon Musk attacked this Venezuelan journalist that was also a
08:50victim of other attacks.
08:58We achieved it but we took revenge when we expelled X from Venezuela.
09:10That's Venezuelan or Turkish coffee?
09:15Venezuelan coffee is going to Turkey because they like the coffee there.
09:22The Ottoman Empire in Turkey was when Yemen's coffee arrived and they started to drink coffee
09:35at that time where the Ottoman Empire was in power.
09:43And it expanded to the whole Muslim sphere.
09:49Speaking about Turkey, the President in the United Nations compared Benjamin Netanyahu
09:58with Hitler, a bold position which made me remember Chavez's position in 2006 when he
10:05said we need to re-found the United Nations.
10:16Those capacities of the United Nations are not enough to end with the problems of humanity.
10:25One of the guests, President of Colombia, Petro, was in favor of Venezuela and Cuba.
10:31He said that if DASA will vanish, humanity also will do it.
10:36He was speaking before the United Nations lately.
10:46Are you recording with a camera?
10:56President of the Ascension, Ivan Hill, was appointed in the United Nations.
11:06He is Vice President of the General Assembly of the United Nations and he preceded several sessions.
11:12What I was about to say is that something that is happening now happened 100 years ago
11:23and it's a good fact that journalists like you who have great progress in the story analyze this.
11:30A hundred years ago, we had something called the Society of Nations.
11:37It was the United Nations at that time, the first attempt of humanity to try to found
11:45an organization where all countries of the world would be represented.
11:50A hundred years ago, the world was very different and the rise of fascism and Nazism and Frankism
12:00and the partnership of the whole colonialist Western and of the United States of America
12:09by then destroyed the experience and society of the United Nations.
12:16We need to remember this for your own generations.
12:21There was an experience where a multilateral system based in international law died.
12:33And why?
12:34Because it was killed by allies of fascism and Nazism.
12:40Same thing is happening today.
12:41The main debate that has marked this 79th session of the National Assembly of the United
12:51Nations was debate against fascism and Nazism of Netanyahu and against Ukraine and lack
13:05of capability of the United Nations to stop crimes against the peoples of the world.
13:11That's the main topic right now.
13:14What Erdogan president did of comparing Netanyahu with Hitler is very important historically
13:21and it will be remembered in the future, the opinions of these brave men like President
13:28Petro that denounced the massacre.
13:31We have spoke to denounce the massacre, not only against the Palestinian people and the
13:40destruction of Gaza, the crime, the genocide, but also the crime that is being committed
13:47against the Arab peoples and the threats that face the Muslim and Arab peoples of that region,
13:58the threats against Russia and a war of NATO against Russia and threats against the Bolivarian
14:08Venezuela, those mercenaries and murderers who want to create a civil war in Venezuela.
14:18We are in a milestone moment or the United Nations acts or it will be a useless agency
14:30and the responsibility will rely on the same powers, the United States and Europe, same
14:39elites that are allies of Netanyahu.
14:46Does the Zionists have something to do with the fact that the United Nations don't encourage
14:55actions to reach peace?
14:57Briggs may have helped to change things.
15:01We have hoped to change, we hope to change the world system and achieve the balance of
15:09the universe that Bolivar wanted and I'm sure that we will have paths for humanity unlike
15:19a hundred years ago.
15:20We have a powerful alternative today.
15:22A hundred years ago, they used all of the forces of monarchies, fascism, Nazism,
15:30Frankism in Spain.
15:32You must not forget that elites from London, Washington, and all of the countries of Europe
15:40started to support Hitler, Mussolini, and the war against the Second Republic of Spain
15:50and isolated the Soviet Union.
15:52Today, the world is different, I might say.
15:55First, humanity wants peace and it's interconnected and humanity will be in charge with a powerful
16:04public opinion movement and powerful social movements also in the United States, Europe,
16:10and the world to stop this threat of extermination and war and fascism will be defeated.
16:18It won't have the impact it had before.
16:22We have stopped fascism here in Venezuela and defeated it in all of its expressions
16:29and Venezuela is becoming a world reference of how to fight fascism, neo-Nazism, hatred,
16:38and projects of re-canalization in peace with the law and constitution.
16:47Venezuela is an example of the fight against fascism, neo-fascism, and similar expressions
16:53and we are victorious and have received the support of the world in the United Nations.
16:58Two great topics have been tweeted.
17:01First, rejection towards Zionism, Netanyahu, fascism, Millet, Mrs. Machado, and all of
17:10the allies of fascism and the crimes committed against the Muslim and Arab peoples, the Gaza
17:16people, and Lebanon, total rejection.
17:22In Venezuela, the people who support these crimes are part of fascism, Mrs. Maria Corina
17:29Machado is the one who supports the crimes committed for Millet and Netanyahu.
17:35That was the great topic, rejection towards genocide and fascism.
17:42Second topic, the support to Venezuela.
17:46We have got support to the Venezuelan people in its fight against the blockade and fascism.
17:55I cannot finish this interview without asking you about a topic that is underway, which
18:05is the complaint about a payment that the government of Iván Duque made with money
18:24from drug trafficking, $11 million they used to buy a virtual system to explore conversations
18:34with maybe yours or mine.
18:36I understand that Iván Zepeda, senator, is going to demand Duque due to this fact that
18:44is being proven.
18:48It has been suggested that a summit must be celebrated among Venezuela, Mexico, and Colombia
18:55due to the fact that they have spied on social leaders.
19:02It was bought to an Israeli company.
19:06It seems like everything is connected.
19:09We denounce at that time the cruel crimes committed by Iván Duque within Colombia with
19:22the social protests behind the murder of young so-called first line in Cali, Medellín, Bogotá,
19:32Iván Duque was related to that.
19:33I know what I'm talking about because we know a lot of the things that happened in that
19:39place because people, honorable people, were there who were against his crimes.
19:47He was behind all these crimes.
19:49Then he bought this Pegasus system and we were warned about it because he had access
19:56to cell phones of important political, social, police, civilian leaders of Venezuela.
20:04And he was behind supporting at that time Juan Guaido to achieve a coup d'etat in Venezuela.
20:14But they couldn't do it and won't be able to do it.
20:18But we were informed about how it was used to conspire and try to kill us.
20:24Iván Duque was behind the plans to try to kill important political, social, military
20:33leaders of the Venezuelan revolution, especially persecution against me and obsession.
20:43He is a murderer, a criminal who lives with obsessions.
20:50At the time I denounced it.
20:53It must be recorded somewhere in a cloud.
20:57I denounced at that time his participation in the murder of the president of Haiti.
21:08And at the same time they tried, from Colombia, Vicky Dávila, who participated and knew about
21:18all the information related to Pegasus and used it for his journalism work, which is
21:27not journalism but psychological work, and was taking stuff proportionated by Iván Duque
21:36from the illegal system Pegasus.
21:40At that time I denounced it.
21:44When they had the opportunity, they tried to pretend that Venezuela was involved in
21:53this.
21:54It was the people that captured mercenaries, members of the Colombian police, and we captured
22:04them.
22:05And the truth was revealed a few hours ago.
22:08The mercenaries who killed the president of Haiti were from Colombia.
22:13And then it was revealed that these same mercenaries carried out other operations in
22:19America, South America, and responded to the Palace of Marinho.
22:24If an investigation was carried out by the Prosecutor's Office of Colombia, they would
22:30find the links between the Pegasus of Marinho de Iván Duque and the murder of the president
22:37of Haiti, who had a conflict with the interests of the Colombian drug trafficking, and he
22:48was murdered.
22:51We have been victims of those crimes, and today I have been a witness of the scandal
23:01of Venezuela with this system Pegasus.
23:04Some of the things I've read are true, and we all wonder who owns this system and what
23:13is it being used for.
23:15I know it's being used to overthrow President Petro and, at the same time, try to hurt Venezuela
23:30and its implication with the drug trafficking who's behind this.
23:34I've been denouncing it today.
23:36This scandal of Pegasus in Colombia coincides with the plan to murder or overthrow President
23:45Petro.
23:46It's financed by the same people who tried to cause violence in Venezuela or overthrow
23:55the revolutionary government of Venezuela.
24:01I denounced it.
24:02Of course, he was always doing it.
24:06FBI, DEA, CIA, CIA has headquarters in Bogota, and they look for mercenaries there.
24:22We have proof of this, and ask yourself, how could we survive this four years of decay?
24:35We know how to defend ourselves, and there, in Colombian institutions, there are a lot
24:41of people who love Venezuela and want peace for our country.
24:46Peace in Colombia and political stability in Colombia is also peace and stability in
24:51Venezuela.
24:52So, this scandal related to Pegasus is very relevant, and we will continue to denounce
25:03it because we want peace, respect for democracy, and stability in Colombia.
25:08I'm very grateful for your interview.
25:11I don't know if you would like to share something with the world.
25:15A lot of things I would like to share, but it would be in the next edition of A Coffee
25:20with Luis Guillermo.
25:21Thank you very much, Mr. President.
25:24President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moro, has given us this interview
25:28right when the second Expo Fair to Kiev, Venezuela, has been inaugurated, with great expectations
25:35for both nations.
25:36Thank you very much.
25:39We were listening to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who offered an exclusive
25:43interview to Telesur's journalist Luis Guillermo García.
25:46During the dialogue, President Nicolás Maduro highlighted the role of the emerging powers,
25:51countries like China, Mexico and Turkey, which are building the new geopolitics of the world.
25:56The President assured Venezuela is part of the creation of a new world order and it is
26:01also an international reference for its moral struggle against the harassment and siege
26:05imposed by the United States and also its Western allies.
26:09In this sense, the Bolivarian leader also assured his nation is willing to keep building
26:13its economic ties with Turkey, an economic relation that this 2024, for example, will
26:19report US$800 million in trades.
26:22Regarding the ongoing United Nations General Assembly, the President highlighted that the
26:27main debate that has marked this 79th session is the condemnation against fascism of Israel
26:34and the urgent call for the end of genocide against the people of Palestine.
26:38At the end of the interview, the President reassured Venezuela's determination to safeguard
26:43its democracy and sovereignty in the face of any threat.
26:47This is all for the moment.
26:48Stay tuned with From the South.
