00:00The Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, unveiled on
00:05Wednesday a new plan by the extreme far-right opposition, which proposed a former far-right
00:10presidential candidate, Edmundo González, be serving as president from a Venezuelan
00:15embassy abroad.
00:23The proposal that Enrique Márquez makes to these gentlemen and the document is generated
00:29by Enrique Márquez, with this certain Sergio Urdaneta and his friend lawyer.
00:35The proposal, in concrete terms, it is proposed that the elected president on July 28, Edmundo
00:43González Urrutia, can be sworn in as elected president, take possession and dictate acts
00:49of provisional government in a different place in the city of Caracas, as a seat of the national
00:55public power.
00:56In this sense, it is proposed that he can be sworn before an assembly of Venezuelan
01:01citizens in a diplomatic headquarters of the Republic of Venezuela, as an unquestionable
01:07extension of the sovereignty of the Republic abroad, always being within the jurisdiction
01:13of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Venezuela.
01:17As the gentleman cannot come here, or does not want to come here, five criminals are
01:22going to meet in the headquarters of an embassy abroad, of those headquarters of the Venezuelan
01:27embassy.
01:28Remember that, for example, in the United States, the government of the United States
01:33took over the headquarters of our embassy, for saying one thing, I think in Peru, it
01:39would be in Peru, in Peru, yes, they had done the same thing, it was Jorge Ariza, I remember.
01:47So, five criminals are going, and Edmundo is going to be sworn in, because he is in
01:53Venezuelan island territory.
01:56They intend to take over this constitution, because this constitution says that, where
02:02will the president of the republic be sworn in?
02:12In front of the National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
02:24And then they come with an explanation, one that only my friends the lawyers here can
02:28make, to entangle everything, to say that it is possible, and the one in front of that
02:34is called Enrique Marquez, part of the coup d'Ă©tat that they want to give in Venezuela.
02:40There are no angels here, and even less in the oppositions, those who are defending it.
02:46Did you hear that, Petro?
02:49Defend it.
