00:00An article from El PaĂs came out saying other things, and so gossips, and because the truth
00:15is revealed, we have all the evidence of this situation.
00:24I hope, Mr. President of the National Assembly, to count on your good offices regarding this
00:33letter in favor of the interests of our nation.
00:38Thank you, Mr. González Urrutia, for recognizing the authority of the National Assembly and
00:45the five public powers of the Venezuelan state.
00:48But this is concerning with the purpose that there have been a lot of lies and attacks,
01:03and so we have to respond by telling the truth.
01:08And it is the truth, Attorney José Vicente Aro.
01:15Let's put a video about something he said this morning.
01:21I must inform directly the communique by the President of González Urrutia in a conversation
01:31I held with him after he arrived in Madrid and after being at peace.
01:42And Mr. González Urrutia ratified me directly that he had not submitted any document in which
01:51he recognized the electoral results issued by the National Electoral Council in the balloting
01:59one and two, or the ratification and verification of the electoral results
02:06established by a final judgment of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela
02:12at the electoral chamber on August 22, 2024.
02:18This information has been disseminated by media outlets and social media,
02:26and by the request of Mr. González Urrutia, I must disclose that this information is
02:36not attached to the truth, so I must request that concerning the issue of Mr. González Urrutia,
02:45people must handle prudence and must consult truthful sources because there's a lot of
02:55speculations about it, and so these speculations damage the image of Mr. González Urrutia
03:04to his political leadership and the cause led as an opposition democratic candidate
03:16representing the unitary platform of the New Time Party and the movement for Venezuela.
03:26That's what I wanted to say about it, and finally to add that Mr. González Urrutia,
03:32till the latest time, he advocated for the release of political prisoners in Venezuela,
03:39and that's the request that he asked me, and so that will depend on the Venezuelan authorities to
03:50adopt the due act, and so he advocated for the release of political prisoners as he always
04:01has done since the time he took the candidacy for presidential elections on July 28th.
04:15So, it's not only a liar, but he is very out of date because in the few
04:28press releases he's just observed as a liar because reality confirms otherwise.
04:41Just observe the signature of González Urrutia.
