00:00So, the foreign minister yesterday revealed a lot of things.
00:19He confesses that he opposes the international regulation because he said that to a Venezuelan
00:30citizen without communicating to the Venezuelan state, when did the ambassador, when did González
00:39enter to the Netherlands embassy after the elections, but most of all on July 29, 30,
00:48when there were the uprisings, when they burned down schools and murdering the Venezuelans.
00:55And so there were no marching summons.
01:00Well, you haven't asked me, but I think that I am agreeing with the interpretation of González
01:10Urrutia of Venezuela.
01:14He escaped from the pressure of Maria Corina Machado.
01:20And so it is a good interpretation to attach to the facts and the rights.
01:27So I have already asked you, and so now it is our turn to reply to you.
01:35What would you ask specifically?
01:38What would you like to know about?
01:39Well, I am not a journalist, but as Roberto said, I am not a journalist, I am innocent.
01:51But ask me, you are a journalist, what would you like to know?
01:56What news would you like to talk about?
01:59Why the Kingdom of Spain was, well, the aircraft arrived, and the safeguard was with the permission
02:13of whom?
02:14And so, was it a Spanish invasion?
02:19What happened there, Mr. President?
02:21Would you send me a coffee?
02:23Well, I am going to ask, because as we are on Christmas, someone gave me a sweet, a sweet
02:36with a coffee, and so we will be having a coffee here.
02:44Well, about this issue, truly it is a history that was being, by Commander Chavez, and when
03:06the diplomats, to talk about, to talk with everyone, always to defend the peace and stability
03:20of Venezuela, always to validate the interests of our country.
03:33Just try, please, this milk, milk sweet, and it seems, and well, it's really good,
03:54it's really good.
04:00It really tastes good.
04:16Well, we have to have a word, I have to keep my word, but I have a lot of flaws, flaws.
04:30I have known all of this history, of all of this process, personally, and I keep my word
04:46to comply with the agreements, and to keep secrets.
04:54I can tell you lots of things from inside how was the process, but I reserve the constitutional
05:02right, I just hold the constitutional, well, everything that has been done has been very
05:15thoughtfully taken into account to the humanist spirit of a revolution in the search of consolidating
05:26peace and coexistence, and the re-encountering of, because Venezuela is bigger than any person,
05:37it is bigger than any ego.
05:42We have played very clean, always.
05:47Someone said yesterday, this is a chess play, a game, and I said it's rude, and so was said
05:56by a hitman, a criminal, he said we were very strategist, and I said he was ridiculous,
06:11he knows well who I am talking about, because, well, this is so sweet that I am not going
06:20to sour it with the name of this criminal, but he said we took out the king, because
06:28in a chess game, the king is always defeated, so those who play chess know that we are playing,
06:47and we respect the rules of the game.
06:50On the chess, you cannot play three times in a row, so there are two players, and we
07:03play each time one, and so we have always played respecting the rules of the game.
07:17You cannot get out, you cannot try to hide pieces on chess, you cannot exit when you
07:30are about to lose, you cannot burn down the game, and if it is your turn to lose, you
07:42cannot say, you cannot recognize your loss, you have to learn to play, to respect the
07:52rules of the game, to respect the results, so we have played very clean, and we have
07:58won, so the peace of the country has won.
08:02Today, the country is at peace, it's calm, and so the country applauds what's been happening,
08:11and I can tell you, I can tell to the ambassador of Gonzales Urrutia in Madrid, I respect your
08:26decision, I respect the decision you've made, and so I have already said it in front of
08:38U.S. President Joe Biden, when the President Joe Biden set aside of the presidential race,
08:48I told him, I talked to that, I respect the decision of Joe Biden, I support his decision,
09:00and I can say to Ambassador Gonzales Urrutia, whom I have been confronted, I have confrontations
