00:00 President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador urged non-interference in Venezuela
00:04 and called for respect for the political process taking place in the country in the run-up
00:08 to the presidential elections.
00:10 The Mexican president asked that the Venezuelan people be allowed to vote freely in the presidential
00:15 elections of next July 28.
00:17 The head of state contextualized his statements in view of the maneuvers of radical sectors
00:21 that seek to use violent actions in order to prevent electoral development.
00:25 In his morning conference, the Mexican president refused to make further comments on the Venezuelan
00:29 electoral process in order not to give elements to his conservative adversaries.
00:40 Hopefully there is democracy and the elections are held in peace.
00:58 And they leave the Venezuelan people freedom to choose.
01:03 The Mexican president highlighted the situation of international rights against the peoples
01:08 of Venezuela and Cuba.
01:13 Now against Venezuela.
01:21 The whole right wing, the whole world, as against Cuba, well.
01:31 There is even a blockade against Cuba that violates human rights.
01:49 Today a plane will leave to bring her back.
01:59 A mission will remain at the embassy because regardless of what the Ecuadorian government
02:03 maintains and which we respect.
02:12 This decision was taken because of a comment I made here, which I will now repeat.
02:22 So that the people of Ecuador know what I said and that there is no manipulation, because
02:26 I respect the people of Ecuador.
02:36 And I respect all the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean.
02:43 The Mexican president also confirmed his intention to grant political asylum to former Vice President
02:48 Jorge Glass.
02:50 Yes, because he is asking for it and we consider the right of asylum to be sacred.
