00:00 Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro responded to recent statements made by U.N. President
00:04 Irfan Ali, in which he rejected Venezuela's plan to hold a referendum on the executive.
00:11 In his ex-account, the President wrote, "President Irfan Ali, enough lies, enough trying to hide
00:17 the historical truth that waits on the controversy over the executive territory, whose only way
00:22 of resolution, as you well know, is the 1966 Geneva Agreement.
00:27 Enough of irresponsibility, manipulation, double standards, hypocrisy and false victimization.
00:32 In your eagerness to please powerful transnational interests, you are turning Guyana into an
00:36 ex-armable branch office.
00:38 The steps your government is taking violate international legality and put the peace of
00:43 the region at risk.
00:45 If your interest in peace is genuine and sincere, I propose a meeting promoted by CARICOM to
00:50 retake the 1966 Geneva Agreement.
00:53 President Irfan, do not allow ex-armable for his undue interest to lead Guyana to the escalation
00:58 of conflict.
00:59 Do not allow the Southern Command to turn your country into a military base against
01:03 Bolivar's Venezuela."
01:11 And Venezuela's Vice President, Delcy Rodriguez, rejected recent statements by the Secretary-General
01:17 of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, rejecting the call made by the Venezuelan
01:22 National Assembly for a consultative referendum to defend the rights of the Bolivarian Republic
01:27 over the Exequibo territory.
01:29 Through social media, ex-Venezuelan Vice President wrote, Almagro, "Venezuela has always defeated
01:34 you and will continue to do so.
01:36 You are a shameful stain on our region.
01:38 You have been a participant in coups d'état, economic wars and prolific corruption, godfather
01:44 of regional extremism and the perverse mind of lawfare.
01:48 Venezuela will carry out this referendum for defense of its rights over the Exequibo territory
01:52 in accordance with our Constitution and international law.
01:56 Nothing will stop it, and your plans of aggression against Venezuela directed by ExxonMobil will
02:02 be defeated.
02:04 Venezuela will always win."
