01:17 But now he is a candidate running for the condé political organization
01:22 He is an independent candidate and he was calling for something that I want to stress as all their candidates of the opposition
01:28 And also affiliated with the government. He was asking for unity national unity in Venezuela
01:34 And also he was calling for not using smear campaigns in the nation during the campaigning
01:41 time ahead of the elections to be respectful towards other candidates and

03:46 that
03:48 those who ask for a stoppage of the referendum on the esequibo region that was a
03:54 Referendum on the defense of Venezuelan territory has no right to come here and to ask and demand
04:00 For a candidate and for nomination that was the way he expressed that those that are against the Venezuelan people
04:07 cannot be a Venezuelan candidate to the presidency and now we are expecting the nomination and the registry of
04:15 the party to Pamara which is an organization with
04:19 Socialist and leftist tendencies and they are coming in here
04:23 They are just starting their nomination process and that's what is happening
