00:11From different regions of the country, the members of the Integral Defense Operations
00:14Zone firmly condemn the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the U.S. government against
00:19President Nicolás Maduro and other high officials of the country, in an attempt to tarnish the
00:24inauguration of the Venezuelan president last January 10.

00:32Bolivarian Revolution, to the democratic election of the Venezuelan people last July 28th, and
00:36to the struggle for the defense of peace of the nation.

00:54wrongly called sanctions, on members of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, and the
00:59National Executive.

01:08President.

01:14Our Minister of Interior Relations Justice and Peace.
01:18To weaken our revolutionary, anti-imperialist, socialist ideals.

01:33is on the right side of history.
01:36We are committed to the constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
