00:00In Venezuela, massive mobilization packed the streets of Caracas to show the world that
00:04the Venezuelan people took a strong stance in defense of peace and the victory of President
00:09Nicolás Maduro.
00:10Our correspondent Gladys Quesada has all the details.
00:14The Venezuelan people took to the streets this Saturday afternoon, not with violence
00:19or hostility, but with peace, music and slogans to defend the victory of elected President
00:26Nicolás Maduro Moros, who won in the elections last Sunday.
00:31We are going to the streets to defend our homeland, our sovereignty, our independence
00:37and to back Nicolás Maduro.
00:39And the Yankees can't forget because we are defending our sovereignty.
00:44Long live the homeland, long live Venezuela, long live Nicolás Maduro.
00:47The march attendees also demanded justice after the terrorist actions and violence outbreaks
00:53in the nation prompted by the radical extremist right-wing groups, which resulted in over
01:001,000 detentions.
01:02The rioters provoked terror under the excuse of contesting the electoral results of the
01:07July 28th polls.
01:09Also, the intellectual authors of these actions must face the law according to Venezuelan
01:16people.
01:17The Venezuelan justice is going to act to capture all of the intellectual authors calling
01:22to the violence, where have been death, when it's been destroyed medical facilities, when
01:27schools has been destroyed.
01:28They're going to pay, Maria Corina, you're going to pay.
01:31You're going to pay for every crime that you committed.
01:34And you're always shielding under the gringos, but that's over.
01:37That's your turn.
01:39Miss Maria Corina, stop the violence.
01:42Your children are in the United States and you're putting issues and crisis and crime
01:48to the young people of our homeland.
01:50You can search for your kids and pull it in the front, your sons in the United States.
01:56This crowd is also outraged by the interference of the United States, the European Union,
02:02international organizations, and an insignificant group of Latin American countries and demands
02:08respect for them.
02:10They reject any interference in the country.
02:14I am against of those countries that are not recognizing our sovereignty, our will, and
02:20they're recognizing in a way very responsible the results that are presented by Maria Corina
02:27Machado and Mundo González.
02:30Throughout this week, different social forces in the country have taken to the streets to
02:34reaffirm solid support for President Nicolás Maduro Moros and to warn the world that they
02:41are willing to enforce their decision at the ballot box and to reject the attempted coup
02:47by the ultra-right extremists.
02:50For Tell Us More English, Gladys Quezada, Caracas, Venezuela.
02:56Also in Venezuela, in his program Con el Mazo Dando, the first vice president of the United
03:00Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, condemned the far-right views on the Venezuelan
03:05electoral system.
03:11Because one ends up believing that people go to elections.
03:16And if you win, you win.
03:17If you lose, you lose.
03:18It has been proven that with these people that is not true.
03:22That is not true.
03:23They will have the thing in the Supreme Court.
03:27The Supreme Court issued a resolution where everything that has to do with the elections
03:31goes there.
03:36And the one that goes to elections and says that it does not recognize the results.
03:43How is it that you continue participating in elections, I say?
03:47How is it that your party does not recognize the elections and you go again to register
03:51to say the same thing again?
03:53No, that is a mess.
03:54You see then you have to take measures soon.
03:57Soon they will take it I am sure, and the TSJ will make some decisions.
04:01The electoral council will make others.
04:03But also the Venezuelan state will make others.
04:11Likewise the Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela acts only as
04:14the work of the country's security forces in the recent terrorist acts caused by the
04:18Venezuelan far-right.
04:30My total and absolute recognition to the SEBIN, to the DGCIM, to the National Police,
04:36to the CICPC, to our Bolivarian National Guard, impeccable, impeccable.
04:42And the public ministry doing its job, the courts doing their job, and when they interrogate
04:46a great number of them, you voted, you did not vote, because I am not registered.
04:56But before they said I was claiming my electoral rights.
04:58Ah, but you did not vote.
05:00At the end they finish their movie telling the story.
05:03Well that is the little rope.
05:05We are pulling the little rope of this matter and we have arrived to I paid so and so.
05:10And now we are going for the one who paid.
05:12And more than one has been captured, then we are going for the one who gave the money
05:16to the one who paid.
05:18Here nobody holds anything back.
05:20Because they know that what comes next is that the right wing is used to leave their
05:23people alone.
05:24In the right wing there is no solidarity.
05:35The Venezuelan Nuestra campaign command announced that the far right forced the fake tally sheets
05:39to give grounds for claiming fraud and disregarding electoral results.
05:43Let's see the details in the following material.
05:47The head of the campaign command, Jorge Rodriguez, granted that the tally sheets published on
05:53the far right website represent just 30% of the true data.
06:04How is this possible, that the Secretary of State of what is considered the greatest global
06:08power accepts a result when they only published 9,040 68 tally sheets, just representing 30%?
06:15What they issued there on the web because we visited the site and took out their fake
06:18info counting up 9,040 68 tally sheets, 30%.
06:23I still call them tally sheets for deductive reasons, but those are not tally sheets.
06:27If you divide the ballot papers assigned to González Urruda in Amazonas states, 46,060
06:3399 ballot papers by the turnout figured, he says, gives the result of 63%.
06:39And if you divide the votes assigned to President Nicolás Maduro, 22,228 ballot papers by the
06:45same turnout, he says, gives the result of 30%.
06:49How curious that in the 23 states nationwide, González Urruda gains 63%, while Maduro gets 30%.
06:56That is, all states, such as Guaira, Amazonas, Sucre and Zuategui, Caracas,
07:02provided exactly the same results.
07:04That is mathematically impossible.
07:10Rodriguez presented pieces of evidence to the country of how the far-right opposition
07:14planned to disregard the electoral results.
07:20On July 29, evening, Mr. Hermundo González Urruda made available to Venezuelans a website
07:26where they were allegedly going to upload some tally sheets with electoral results,
07:32the results of the presidential July 28 election in 2024.
07:36How curious that the day before the elections on July 27, 2024,
07:41the far-right opponents acquired this domain.
07:44They broke it and rendered it for a year from July 27, 2024 to July 27, 2025.
07:50That is, they had already decided not to abide by the result.
07:59Jorge Rodriguez, also president of the National Assembly Parliament,
08:03recalled that the former far-right presidential candidate,
08:07Edmundo González, did not sign the agreement on the recognition of the results.
08:14You know very well because it has been widespread on all media outlets that none of the spokesperson
08:20of the candidate, González Urruda, has accepted neither to sign the agreement of the candidates
08:24in the National Electoral Council, or to recognize the authority of the only entity
08:28in charge of deciding who was the winner.
08:33Rodriguez assured that this alleged fraud was set up by the summit company with the participation,
08:39from abroad, of far-right leaders, and reaffirmed that the campaign command and
08:44President Nicolas Maduro are willing to guarantee the transparency of the electoral process.
