00:00Today, the electoral chamber and mostly in the international arena, we know the ALBA
00:07countries have respected the electoral results, but let's remember that there are international
00:12voices joining this regarding narrative.
00:18And so, what's your stance after hearing the final judgment about the ALBA?
00:25Well, as a secretary of ALBA, it is to inform and send copies of the ten governments of
00:35the ALBA TCP and even the social movements in ALBA.
00:41And so, it renders accounts how the Venezuelan institutionality took the challenge of giving
00:51confidence to the country and, in first place, to the international community about what
00:58was happening on July 28th election and the ALBA countries, as you have said, congratulated
01:04the victory of President Nicolás Maduro and, of course, when the own president appealed
01:13to the Supreme Court of Justice, it developed this electoral contentious appeal.
01:21The ALBA countries have followed this process.
01:25We have been informing the process and so it is being closed.
01:32This chapter, as has already occurred in several nations, as Mexico, the United States, and
01:43in which the highest entity, the Supreme Court of Justice, gave its last word with the final
01:51judgment and we think that the Supreme Court of Justice has been an example.
01:56And of course, the judicial powers of the ALBA countries will be informed about this
02:03process that could guarantee peace, not only in Venezuela, but being an example for other
02:08countries in the world.
02:09Thank you very much and we thank.
