00:00:00International organizations, including the World Health Organization, call on Israel
00:00:13to allow humanitarian aid into northern Gaza to rescue the thousands who are dying under
00:00:18the rubble.
00:00:23The government of Egypt met on Thursday with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran to
00:00:27discuss the growing tensions in the Middle East.
00:00:34And the United Nations affirmed that the resurgence of the armed conflict in Sudan is forcing
00:00:39the displacement to Chad of at least 25,000 people in the month of October alone.
00:00:52Hello and welcome to From the South.
00:00:53My name is Belén de los Santos and from the Telstra studios in Havana, Cuba, we begin
00:00:58with the news.
00:01:15We begin with the situation in the Middle East.
00:01:18Several international organizations, including the World Health Organization, called on Israel
00:01:22to allow humanitarian aid into northern Gaza to rescue the thousands who are dying under
00:01:28the rubble and to distribute food and water.
00:01:31For 13 days, the genocidal troops have been besieging the north of the Palestinian enclave.
00:01:37Israel has dropped 75,000 tons of explosives in Gaza.
00:01:41The north has been reduced to rubble that crushes thousands of people who survive while
00:01:46waiting for rescue groups that work with their hands removing tons of rubble because Israel
00:01:52prevents the entry of fuel.
00:01:54Fares Afana, head of the emergency services in the north of Gaza, assures that people
00:01:59are dying of hunger and that Israel is destroying everything that is alive.
00:02:10Meanwhile also in Palestine, the World Health Organization has launched a second polio vaccination
00:02:15campaign in Gaza, targeting over half a million children.
00:02:20The campaign faces significant challenges due to restricted access to northern Gaza,
00:02:25with only one out of 54 UN missions successfully facilitated in the first half of October.
00:02:31The war has damaged the medical facilities and the sewage system, exacerbating the health
00:02:36crisis.
00:02:37The WHO in this way is calling for unhindered access to delivery of humanitarian aid, highlighting
00:02:45severe shortages of food, water and medical supplies.
00:02:49Organizations, as we were saying, are demanding an end to the Israeli blockade to address
00:02:54the escalating health emergency and prevent further disease spread.
00:03:02Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon carried out three operations against Israeli
00:03:10military equipment and facilities on Thursday.
00:03:13Hezbollah has hit several Merkava tanks and bombed Zionist military installations and
00:03:20formations in the Sheva farms.
00:03:22In response to these military attacks, the occupier has again targeted several homes
00:03:26and civilian areas in southern Lebanon, especially in the areas of Qanarit, Deir Kanun, Al-Nar
00:03:32and Al-Rayyan.
00:03:33They have also repeated attacks against facilities of the United Nations Interim Force, from
00:03:39where they denounced the attack on one of its watchtowers in Kafr Qela.
00:03:49Also in this context, the UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Janine Hanis-Pleschert, described
00:03:56violations of international humanitarian law as unacceptable following the latest Israeli
00:04:01attacks on the southern town of Navatieh.
00:04:04Through a statement, the Special Envoy denounced that the bombardment perpetrated by Tel Aviv
00:04:09regime fighter planes against the city left at least five people dead, although the figure
00:04:15could rise as the debris are cleared.
00:04:19Likewise, Janine Pleschert warned that civilian suffering is reaching unprecedented levels
00:04:26and demanded a diplomatic solution capable of promoting regional stability.
00:04:31For its part, the UN Refugee Agency estimated that the number of dead in Lebanon has reached
00:04:372,200.
00:04:43And in Switzerland, at a press conference, Dr. Abin Nasir Aboubakar, representative of
00:04:48the WHO in Lebanon, warned of a very high risk of the spread of cholera in the country
00:04:53after the detection of the first case in the nation.
00:04:56What we are seeing is actually, you know, the first case has been confirmed, but we've
00:05:02been talking about the risk of cholera for many months, actually, because of the deteriorating
00:05:08water and sanitation situations for the refugees, but also the hostile communities.
00:05:13As you know, Lebanon for the last few years has been impacted by the financial crisis,
00:05:19and most of the public services, whether it's the electricity, the water establishment,
00:05:24many of these actually have been, the services have been impacted very severely.
00:05:32And now, what we are worrying, actually, is that displaced people for the current conflict
00:05:37actually have reached to the north, and if the cholera outbreak or the cholera spread
00:05:42to the, you know, new displaced people, it might spread very fast, because some of those
00:05:47communities from the south and from the, you know, Beirut didn't have any cholera immunity
00:05:53for the last 30 years, and it's very, the risk of spread is very high, and I think that's...
00:06:00And we continue in the region as the United States and the United Kingdom have formed
00:06:04an alliance to attack Yemen, bombarding the Middle Eastern country for the first time
00:06:09with a deadly B-2 system.
00:06:12Early on Thursday, a strategic stealth bomber attacked Sana'a and Sa'da, thus hitting one
00:06:18of the poorest nations in the world.
00:06:21The use of the Northop B-2 Spirit marks an escalation in Washington's operations against
00:06:28Yemen.
00:06:29This bomber is much larger than the fighter jets used so far.
00:06:32The United States deployed the stealth aircraft amid an efficient performance by the Yemeni
00:06:38Armed Forces anti-aircraft defense.
00:06:46And the government of Egypt met on Thursday in Cairo with the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:06:50of Iran, Abbas Argachi, to discuss the growing tensions in the Middle East.
00:06:55Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the head of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry,
00:07:00Badr Abdelati, met with the Iranian representative to discuss the effort to reduce the Israeli
00:07:06aggression in Gaza and Lebanon.
00:07:09President el-Sisi stressed his call to end the Israeli war and prevent the conflict from
00:07:14expanding in the region.
00:07:16He also called for an end to the escalation in Lebanon and human rights violations in
00:07:21the West Bank, and to ensure the delivery of necessary humanitarian aid.
00:07:32And the legislator and General Secretary of Unidas Podemos Coalition, Ione Velarra, accused
00:07:37the Spanish government of being an accomplice of the genocide in Gaza.
00:07:42Velarra highlighted the Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's hypocrisy, calling for an arms embargo
00:07:48on Israel while authorizing millionaire payments for war trade with this country.
00:07:54The lawmaker assured that the government has kept the arms trade with Israel after October
00:07:597th.
00:08:00The leader granted that Sanchez has been pursuing a double standard policy, supporting the Palestinian
00:08:06people in his keynote addresses, while opening the Spanish ports to the ships that transport
00:08:12the militias with which Israel murders women and children in Gaza, the West Bank, and now
00:08:18Lebanon.
00:08:19Velarra further denounced that the Spanish government has made recent millionaire transactions
00:08:25with the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:08:28Look, President, I think that what we are talking about is very serious.
00:08:35Past Sunday, Israel did this.
00:08:37It burned alive dozens of people in tents when they were in a refugee hospital.
00:08:42What difference does this make to the gas chambers of the Nazis?
00:08:46I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, everyone, the President, no difference.
00:08:51And we are being complicit as a country in this genocide.
00:08:55You go around the world talking about an arms embargo that you are unable to pursue as a
00:09:00government.
00:09:01The government, your government, has sold weapons after October 7th.
00:09:05You have bought weapons worth one billion euros, one billion euros, ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:11During this year of genocide, you have allowed the transport of weapons through our ports
00:09:17all this year.
00:09:18If you really believe in the arms embargo, Mr. Sanchez, stop lying and apply it once
00:09:23and for all.
00:09:24And we now move on to other topics.
00:09:29In northern Nigeria, fuel tankers blast has brought about 153 deaths so far.
00:09:36Authorities reported that 50 others had been injured in the accident that occurred in Higawa
00:09:41State after the driver lost control of the vehicle.
00:09:46Local residents assured that gasoline flooded the town's drainage and sewage system.
00:09:51Local officials do not rule out an upsurge in casualties.
00:09:59Now let's take a short break, but remember you can join us on TikTok at TELUS for English
00:10:03where you will find news in different formats.
00:10:07Stay with us.
00:10:35It is in front, directly to the operation, recruiting, searching, supplying weapons at
00:10:48the operation as such.
00:10:50At that instance, we announced to this and immediately they came up and so they said
00:10:59that they have nothing to do and it is illogical and we are compelled to inform, to tell the
00:11:05truth.
00:11:06Today, we are going to give details about the capture of a new group of mercenaries
00:11:14who are not the only ones who have been captured and their involvement in the incidents.
00:11:24We have information of the 71 weapons seized and their attachments to terrorist groups
00:11:37as the El Trindadeano and Arawa and so it is important to highlight their involvement
00:11:43in an operation in which the CNI enters mercenaries and weapons and so they established contacts
00:11:57with terrorist groups to attack certain points in the country, to assassinate the leaders
00:12:05of the revolution, to damage our people and to overthrow the revolutionary government.
00:12:15So far, the results that they have obtained in this has been just failing and we hope
00:12:23they continue failing in this target that they go ahead as destabilizing Venezuela.
00:12:33In this order of ideas, I repeat and I want to move towards the structure of how this
00:12:47group has been made up.
00:12:51We have said that the United States, through the CNI and the OAS, they have made some operations
00:13:08and here we see Venezuela and Colombia and some people, Julio Borges, Carlos Vecchios,
00:13:17Maria Corina Machado, they are not the only ones, those are the leaders of the operations
00:13:24here in Venezuela and we have arrested persons involved in the violence in Colombia who has
00:13:34been recruiters, recruiters of citizens to go to Venezuela as terrorists and mercenaries
00:13:45and so let me show you there, I stop here, the next day maybe or maybe the same day that
00:13:58we provide the press briefing, we seized a group of weapons, those that you see, that
00:14:07you see there on the screen, those are rifles, U.S. rifles, type AK, made by the United States
00:14:22by a company that we already denounced, the Centurion, Centurion Arc, that has this logo
00:14:37that manufactures rifles in the United States, it is authorized by the U.S. government and
00:14:44they use these weapons to destabilize countries and let's continue here, by this operation,
00:14:54all these operations have as an element, as a coordinating element to weapons trafficking,
00:15:03the Simonovits, he has been the leader of smuggling weapons, not only for Venezuela
00:15:13but for other parts of the world, Bolivia have captured, they have seized weapons and
00:15:21all these weapons have been related to Ivan Simonovits, a mercenary of weapons and he
00:15:29has been protected by the United States, he is an agent of the United States for a long
00:15:34time and so he was, thanks to the rapid action of the security groups of Venezuela, organizations
00:15:45of Venezuela, there has been a citizen that is about to be identified, alias David, and
00:15:54he is in charge of the allocation of the sending of weapons, alias David, and so afterwards
00:16:08we, let's see, in the same operations we found, in the same police operations, we found
00:16:26a group of police officers that were bringing weapons to Venezuela, Michel Ramirez, he lives
00:16:36in the United States, Mauricio Andrade Santamaria, he is a Venezuelan and active U.S. military,
00:16:44Leonardo Atilio Micheletti Hernandez, and Argenis Jose Mavares Alcala, and so we captured,
00:16:56we seized 24 rifles and they brought these rifles by portions and then they armed and
00:17:12assembled these rifles here, a group of 24 rifles, and it is important to note that on
00:17:23the reports that we provide, there have been evidence of a bigger number that were sent by
00:17:29portions, and so we are looking for these rifles, for these weapons to neutralize any attack that
00:17:41the far right can do, can launch. Well, let's see right now, here these people deliver the
00:17:53weapons to these groups, Carlos Alberto Infantes, Jesus Moreno, and Captain of the
00:18:11Bolivarian Armed Forces, also Rafael Obregón of Venezuela, and Mr. Ricky Rafael Santos,
00:18:21and Pedro Gerardo Gutierrez. This group operated for the, this group delivered weapons to the
00:18:33criminal groups as the Tren del Llano and Aragua groups. Immediately after
00:18:47the first, the first publication of this information, so we got the information of
00:18:57the criminal groups of Tren del Llano and Aragua, they were, they had an operation
00:19:07in the CPC, they, well, they got an operation in which we seized 33 rifles that have been robbed
00:19:23to our Bolivarian Armed Forces, and so they, there was, there were some clashes,
00:19:33and unfortunately, an officer of us passed away in this. Some people, some people
00:19:42died, and others were injured, and that Tren del Llano and Aragua criminal group,
00:19:52as alias Jason, and it is arrested, the Mr. Raisa and some other people have been arrested,
00:20:04as they are involved with these criminal groups, and these actions, and these,
00:20:09and in that same operation, but entering by the state, they came to the city,
00:20:18Joaquin Jose Dia Rodriguez, Joel Manuel Gonzalez Moreno, and Randy Alexander Gonzalez
00:20:25have been arrested, and they were all involved with Castaneda, and we have evidence of it,
00:20:35of their contact with that criminal. And now, let's see more other subjects.
00:20:48So, leave it there.
00:20:54On the left, please.
00:20:55We, last time, we, we said that we, Joseph Castaneda was arrested, and that citizen,
00:21:08that it is here, Renzo Yasi, who Manchum Castillo, has been arrested, and he is a Peruvian,
00:21:19and so, we have some photos of this citizen, who, who is attached to the criminal, criminal group.
00:21:39There he, he is, as you can see.
00:21:45Continue, please.
00:21:49So, he was captured,
00:21:53hunting for Venezuela at the border, and all, all these individuals said that they are deeply in
00:22:01love with Venezuela. They come here to visit their partners, their loved partners, but that's
00:22:11the recipe they, they ordered them to, to say. So, this mister is different from the rest of
00:22:21mercenaries coming to Venezuela. The, the main condition of the new mercenaries is that they
00:22:29are able to speak Spanish. So, this gentleman that you see, his body, he is being tattooed
00:22:39all over his body, referred to fanatism from the bottom of his head to any part of his body,
00:22:51and so, he came to damage the people of Venezuela, and then, and then, that second citizen,
00:23:00Jan Darmozovel, he's arrested from the, previously, with all the involvements,
00:23:07everyone is involved, and this figure comes up, Jonathan Pagan Gonzalez, U.S. citizen.
00:23:21He is a U.S. citizen.
00:23:27So,
00:23:31between his work was to get into the religious sectors. He was arrested in the state of Zulia
00:23:41in a raid in which someone offered him to be a Venezuelan citizen, ID,
00:23:52have an ID, and so, he confessed all his attachments with, with the destabilizing
00:23:58plans, and behind him, there's a powerful group coming from the United States, and they know who
00:24:06they are, and this gentleman, we managed to arrest a head of the state of Zulia, and so, he was, he,
00:24:18he, he was offered five, 501 million, no, 501 dollars to, to get this,
00:24:34501 million dollars to get this individual out of prison, and so, let's remind that we have,
00:24:51uh, we have arrested Valdovinos, Andres,
00:24:58Andres Martinez, those are direct agents of the intelligence, uh,
00:25:08intelligence centers of Spain, who, which is a recruiter of mercenaries, mercenaries,
00:25:16and so, these, they, David Estrella, an Ecuadorian citizen, and so, they all speak
00:25:23Spanish to be able to enter into communities, and so, you will see these specialists, and
00:25:33unless someone gets, gets to speak in English or, or any other language,
00:25:42immediately, these citizens would be detected, but as these citizens all speak Spanish, they,
00:25:51it, it was harder to, to detect. So, this partner, Manuel Alejandro Tique,
00:25:58Tique Chavez, he is being hidden behind NGOs, uh, invo, attachments, but this partner is a recruiter.
00:26:09Pay attention that, uh, we, we got the early information of paramilitary groups
00:26:18declaring war, and I have heard early, could you please put me this?
00:26:28So, he was helping mercenaries and terrorists, and so, then, Arley Danilo Espitia,
00:26:43this is a leader of the Paracos,
00:26:46of the Paracos, and he was a recruiter of Paracos, and this gentleman was leading those
00:27:03of El Tren de Araguas groups, and then, Jose, Jorge Marcelo Vargas, a U.S., a U.S. and Bolivian
00:27:15citizen, and this mister was arrested taking pictures of refineries. This was taken from
00:27:35his cell phone. You can see it there. It is strange that tourists come here in Venezuela
00:27:45to take those kinds of pictures. So, he already declared that he was taking pictures to,
00:27:56to study how to get access to refineries for terrorist attacks. So, this is in,
00:28:08in El Cardón, Punto Fijo.
00:28:13Then, Said Aguada, a Lebanese citizen, captured, and he was coming to Venezuela as a tourist
00:28:30to find a girlfriend, and, but he's attached to Espitia, to this gentleman, to Arley Danilo
00:28:40Espitia. So, those are the paramilitary mercenary groups. Continue, please.
00:28:53I was talking about the experts.
00:28:55Aaron Barrett Logan, U.S. citizen, specialist hacker.
00:29:08He, he has been captured, and so, on his phone, he had data of entities that he was hacking.
00:29:21Aaron Barrett Logan, and so, the next is Gregory David Weber, another hacker who received the
00:29:34mission to sabotage the technology, the technological structure of Venezuela, and on
00:29:41his phone, there were pictures of the operations they, they were carrying out, and so, they were
00:29:50sending reports, and one of them arrived, and so, we, he's, someone, some of them boasted about
00:30:05that in Venezuela there wasn't security, but they were captured by these security entities of
00:30:10Venezuela. All of them have, were involved with their alleged couples, but all of them
00:30:23are being involved with the train, the Del Llano and Aragua criminal groups,
00:30:29and so, there, that citizen is a specialist of paramedics activities, and his mission was
00:30:37related to provide assistance in case of injured, injured in the terrorist activities.
00:30:46David Guttenberg Glum, so, he was arrested too, also with his Venezuelan partner,
00:30:56and so, the CNI, with the leadership of the whole operation, the CIA, and the DEA,
00:31:15provided instructions to the CNI, and to, related to the Paracas activities, and a group of
00:31:25mercenaries hired in Europe, group of mercenaries coming from the United States,
00:31:34experts, hackers, a whole operation against the country, besides the, the weapons trafficking,
00:31:43some of, some of, some maybe said all of it is a lie, but I am going to read,
00:31:53a communiqué, a communiqué by, by Interpol on October 7th, matter,
00:32:03a legal arms trafficking, dear colleagues, dear colleagues, we hope you are fine. The program of
00:32:12the arms fired have been aware of a maritime cargo towards Venezuela, suspicions of
00:32:27having illegal weapons, and so, they have been exported from the United States, so, we ask to
00:32:35you, respectfully, that there has, if there have been the illegal arms trafficking, and if you
00:32:44manage to locate and recover the, the weapons, please provide all information, all details of
00:32:54each weapon, or by giving the description of all these delivery, the boxes and the weapons
00:33:07will be very useful for, for managing this illicit operation, and the U.S. Office of Interpol
00:33:18have already carried the weapons attached to this operation, which have been smuggled,
00:33:27and let us know if you manage to intercept these weapons. I really appreciate your cooperation,
00:33:38and sincerely yours, Interpol, so, some, so, this is the Interpol of the United States,
00:33:50you may wonder, they are playing an anticipated game, they know that these weapons are,
00:34:01these are the weapons, let's see the details, there you see,
00:34:08there you see,
00:34:22so, that we don't put that logo,
00:34:28so, it is the same logo, as you can see,
00:34:45I am going to read something that is on the internet, it is a flag
00:34:51of the General Christopher Gatzer, that he designed the weapon on the 19th century, and
00:35:03it was used by the former battles, and this flag is known by the United States, and it represents
00:35:16the liberalism, and it represents feelings in front of the states, and there it is, the flag of
00:35:27Gatzer, along with the Nazi flag, at a demonstration in Charlottestown, in Charlottestown,
00:35:38it is, it is strange, isn't it? So, the flag has been used by the extreme right groups,
00:35:49and the authors of 2014, and the millions, allegedly placed the flag on the corpses
00:36:01they killed, it is the US extreme right wing, do you, you know that in the United States,
00:36:09any people, any person can purchase a weapon, and so, it is easier to buy a weapon, a rifle,
00:36:20than an antibiotics, it is terrible what happens in the United States, and when Interpol
00:36:27sends this communique to Venezuela, what is it saying? That we
00:36:38take care of ourselves here in Venezuela, they already know that we captured those weapons,
00:36:47they know all these actions, all the operations we have been carrying out, so they are,
00:36:57they are putting at risk the security of Venezuela, a group of mercenaries,
00:37:03citizens of some parts of the world, hired directly by the Spanish Intelligence Center,
00:37:13CNI, I repeated, I confirmed it with the help of the CIA and DEA, directly, without any mediators,
00:37:27and the plan is to overthrow the Bolivarian revolution,
00:37:33they are playing an anticipated position, but we are going to continue with
00:37:41the operations nationwide, to review each container, each chip,
00:37:51and so, that's why we have founded by portions,
00:37:58so we are going to review any delivery, I am, I am mentioning a group of mercenaries
00:38:06already arrested, but all of these have their counterpart,
00:38:13Venezuelan citizens who have been arrested, and at the order of courts,
00:38:19those rifles that were found, that were recovered in combats in the Tejeras mountains,
00:38:33who were stolen from the Bolivarian armed forces, many have counted on collaboration,
00:38:45sadly, and collaborators have been arrested,
00:38:50and all of this is involved with the great conspiracy against Venezuela,
00:38:57and today I announced a second delivery, but there are, there is so much more,
00:39:02and we continue working 24-7, without rest, reviewing everything that we have to review,
00:39:12and we are working for the tranquility of Venezuelans, of Chavistas Venezuelans,
00:39:19and of any political trend, for the tranquility and security of Venezuelans,
00:39:26and there are more than 500 weapons, you know that they are coming from there,
00:39:34and please put the pictures of those of Maracaibo, the U.S. security systems reviewing,
00:39:41but they let them go, go out of the country, and there you see the alias David,
00:39:52doing the delivery, sending the, there you see the rifles,
00:40:02and so in the present chart, there you see the U.S. officials, when they seized,
00:40:17so they know, and the previous one, it is, it is a pity that I cannot show the whole recording,
00:40:26because, and so they, they reviewed all the weapons that were sent to Venezuela,
00:40:36but they let them go out, and especially it was the FBI, but I cannot provide the detailed
00:40:45information, because I would, I would turn the informant out, so they were sent without
00:40:57any munitions, the majority of cases, because they said that here they have the munitions,
00:41:06because these are the rifles of our Bolivarian armed forces, and this is a battle of all
00:41:13Venezuelans, and I ask for the collaboration, and so far, it is being extremely important,
00:41:20the information provided with, by the Venezuelans that, that realize of any strange movements,
00:41:32and so then, after, after this, we proceed, and that Mr. of Vesulia,
00:41:51there you see, let me look,
00:41:53over here, there you see, Jonathan Pagán González, Jonathan Pagán González, that gentleman
00:42:06is, has a serious involvement in the Vesulia state, to, to assassinate President Maduro,
00:42:24and Vice President Rodriguez, and other officials, with a facade of a church,
00:42:34so they know how they work, it is the imperialists operating, contacting,
00:42:41and we are just pulling the strings, and so, someone was concerned by the U.S. citizens,
00:42:52who has been, who have been arrested in Venezuela, they are very well,
00:42:58in very well condition, much, much better than those detained in Guantanamo
00:43:04Bays. We don't mistreat anyone, we don't isolate anyone, but we are looking into
00:43:14every, every evidence. We respect their rights, but their government must assume that they are
00:43:22coming here in Venezuela to, to attack authorities, to attack public services,
00:43:30to damage our country. Yesterday, there was a failure, an attack, on the power grid.
00:43:39Yesterday, no one thinks that this is spontaneous, or, or that's not like that,
00:43:50if it's so, but it is difficult, the mystics against a terrorist attack, so they search the,
00:44:01the grid, to damage the vast majority of Venezuelans, and so, we are in front,
00:44:09in front, working, working, and providing you information, and the military command
00:44:18is crystal clear. We, we know where we stand, and they know, we know that they will continue denying
00:44:27the weapons, and the attacks. Surely, they, they will say that, that I placed the, the evidence.
00:44:45Don't, don't treat me, don't, don't.
00:44:51So, it is fascism operating.
00:44:53If there is any question, I will, I will answer you. The first question is Madeleine Garcia by
00:45:01Telesur. Hi, how are you doing, Minister? Good morning. You mean that this operation hasn't
00:45:09finished, so, from here to January 10th, the deadline for the opposition, how would you
00:45:21how would you profile this operation? How many mercenaries have been arrested,
00:45:30and if there are detained people here, what, what, what are their involvement with,
00:45:42with the mayor of, mayorship of Maracaibo, mayor office of Maracaibo? So, in January,
00:45:53we, all the work that we are carrying out is to assure the, the peace
00:46:02at that day, and so they are, they want to execute a kind coup against the state,
00:46:13so they, they are involved with the opposition. Simon said that nothing is done without the
00:46:21authorization of Maria Corina Machado. That was said by Simonovic, who's, who is the one
00:46:31sending the weapons to Venezuela. He sends mercenaries, and the lady Maria Corina is
00:46:39updated about this, and she, she doesn't say anything because it is not convenient for her,
00:46:46but she is updated about this, and the damage that they want to, they want, so
00:46:57all, all of them support the Maria Corina Machado. These criminal groups support Maria
00:47:04Corina Machado, and remember the, the, the violent acts of the comanditos groups, the
00:47:13evil, evil against Venezuela. It is Julio Borges, who's always at the conspiracy
00:47:22incidents, and Vecchio Uribe. I am certain about it. Uribe, Uribe and Duque are always there. They
00:47:34are in charge of sending their, sending paramilitaries to here, and he's speaking and,
00:47:46and telling what are their, their connections, and they think that they are in Colombia,
00:47:53that in Colombia they are, they, they are arrested and, and said I am,
00:48:04I am John Doe, and they paid, and they released, but here it is different.
00:48:13So, but we respect all their rights,
00:48:16and that involvement with the opposition sectors, it is crystal clear.
00:48:24They are talking about that everything ends, and the, the end is,
00:48:36is, is getting closer for those extreme groups, and we warned that do not attempt anything,
00:48:45because we are ready for everything, and we assume our responsibility.
00:48:52They have no involvement with the mayor office of the Maracaibo. It is a, an act of corruption,
00:49:03but at some point we will provide further details. Oscar Pineda by Union Radio.
00:49:09Good afternoon, Minister. Minister, what's the legal status of citizens of Spain,
00:49:17the United States, Colombia, Sec Republic, who have been detained in this plot that you are
00:49:24denouncing, who are involved with the CNI of Spain? In that legal status, are they already
00:49:33processed on trial, and finally, the interior ministry has, has connections with the authorities
00:49:47for developing the investigations. Thank you, Oscar. Well, all these citizens have been,
00:49:56have been on, on trial, complying with the times that the law establishes,
00:50:05and providing them the guarantees that stipulated by law, but, so doing the research as it
00:50:14corresponds, all of them are in good shape, are in good health condition. No one has been mistreated.
00:50:21They, the mistreatments are in Guantanamo's military base, or in other places, but what
00:50:29is true is that each of them have, has been providing information for solving this puzzle
00:50:41with the, their attachments with the arms trafficking, and the criminal groups, and their
00:50:49political, political involvement, and all of these have, has several branches.
00:51:01All of them have been in contact with a refugee of justice, Maria, and it is part of this
00:51:12mercenary network against its own, his own country. These citizens, these sec,
00:51:21sec Spanish U.S. citizens, Peruvian citizens, we, who have been arrested,
00:51:29all have been presented in the corresponding entities. You know what? This is one of the things
00:51:37that they were, were willing to say, who's the chief justice, who's the, the security
00:51:50organizations that are operating, but we are compelled to safeguard the justice system of
00:51:57Venezuela from the, the mercenaries. Regarding governments, it is hard to have a relationship
00:52:07with the United States when the United States, we have captured a mercenary of their, of the U.S.
00:52:17Army, expert on explosives, and they just claimed that he came here as a tourist, and it is clear
00:52:31that he is, he was not a tourist, and there is going to be a third delivery,
00:52:42part of all the investigation, because it is, maybe if we provide further details, we could
00:52:52destroy the whole operation, and it is hard to, to establish a relationship with the CNI
00:53:00of Spain, because first they denied the, the incident, and they know that it is true,
00:53:08that they are recruiters of mercenaries, they are paying off Marroquí and other
00:53:16foreigns to come here to Venezuela to cause terrorist acts here in Venezuela, and it is
00:53:23hard to have a relationship with the CNI when they want us, they want to overthrow the,
00:53:30the official government, they would never admit that. We identified the Mr. Bernal,
00:53:39owner of a hotel, I've never said the name of the hotel, or the name of the person, and immediately
00:53:49come, came out a Spanish Mr. of the Latinas, Mr. Bernal, and, and he said that they were there,
00:54:04and he confirmed that they were there, but no one asked him, and so the government of Colombia has
00:54:13a lot of internal problems, but the damage that they did, that they did in Venezuela, it will
00:54:25immediately reverse in Colombia, and they are using paramilitary, Colombian paramilitaries
00:54:33here in Venezuela, and so it is hard when the Interpol sends, sent this letter, saying that
00:54:43there is an armed trafficking, it is contradictory, and they say it is suspected,
00:54:52it is suspected an illicit arms trafficking, and, and so they, they do not assure anything,
00:55:02but then they said that the Interpol said that they have carried the weapons and the serials,
00:55:14they, they carried, they uploaded all the serials to the system, so they are playing
00:55:23an advanced position, they, they are complicity in this incident, and it is a verifiable
00:55:32act, and what's more, when you heard that a U.S. campaign to assassinate a president, and if,
00:55:42and it is not an investigation there, so it is hard to, to talk to, with that government,
00:55:49as they allowed mercenaries to assassinate a president, how can we believe with them,
00:55:57as they should have opened an investigation, if here in Venezuela there will be five mercenaries
00:56:07to, to raise funds to assassinate a president, they will be immediately in prison, because Venezuela
00:56:15won't have that role, won't play that role, and so it is a double standard policy,
00:56:21and here in Venezuela, there's justice, they are arrested, well cared, protected,
00:56:28and no one has mistreated them, thank you very much, and the third and last question, Gonzalez,
00:56:39good afternoon minister, and I am taking into account these new detentions,
00:56:44the Venezuelan government has some kind of contact with the government of Gustavo Petro,
00:56:52about the detention of the Colombian citizen, thank you, it is not one Colombian, but many,
00:57:00several Colombians, and the Colombian government has helped us, the security entities of Colombia
00:57:09has helped us, identified the citizens, but officially, we would like to, that sir of
00:57:24La Estonina's hotel be, be called for, for see, for seeing what he says, because everyone passes
00:57:35by that hotel, books, books in that hotel, so it is very important that the neighboring countries
00:57:45understand, that whatever happens to Venezuela, has immediate aftermaths over them, because it
00:57:56is like a destabilizing modus operandi, only the labs used by the imperialism,
00:58:05these are the labs used by, by the imperialists against countries with independence, sovereignty,
00:58:12and so these are the labs, and in Bolivia, there were seized over 200 rifles made up, made by
00:58:26Made in Israel, this is not a lie, the symbol is not a lie,
00:58:37the symbol is not a lie, this organization exists, this stream, this US stream group exists,
00:58:47and, and one of the rifles came with this symbol, but surely there are many more,
00:59:01and so who's behind this? There are pistols of, worth of $8,000.
00:59:09You can touch the weapons if you want to check that this is real, these, there you see the
00:59:20portions of the rifles, the ones that were unarmed, and we are after the search of another delivery,
00:59:32and so we hope that the US officials avoid any more cargoes toward Venezuela,
00:59:41heading for Venezuela, and so I am sure that these mercenaries are not only in Venezuela,
00:59:49but also in other countries who are not in favor of the United States, and so we have
00:59:57provided this information, a total of 19 arrested people with foreign nationalities,
01:00:09for we, I presented 14 of them, and we continue on the investigation, we continue
01:00:19solving the, the puzzle, we continue working without any, any noise, and we are trying to
01:00:31guarantee the tranquility of Venezuelans, and President Nicolás Maduro recommended this
01:00:37press briefing to inform the community, and for the people know that we are doing our job,
01:00:43that the Venezuelan government is doing their job, and that the world knows that
01:00:49Venezuela is prepared to counteract any attempt against Venezuela outside or inside.
01:01:00Some people would say,
01:01:06over 500 weapons, there you see how many mercenaries are,
01:01:13come from, from these, the criminal groups
01:01:22of snipers, operating here in Venezuela,
01:01:30trust in the work of the police, of the Bolivarian armed forces, and Venezuela will continue
01:01:39be, to be a territory of absolute peace and tranquility. Good afternoon to all,
01:01:45warm hugs, and we will continue with the third delivery soon.
01:01:51We were listening, we were listening to Diosdado Cabello, Minister of the Interior,
01:02:09as we continue to see images, as we continue to see images in which he's displaying the weapons
01:02:17of what they were talking right before, let's recall that Minister Diosdado,
01:02:26Minister Diosdado was giving details on their captures. Let's continue to listen.
01:02:35They're of, of U.S. manufacture, those weapons,
01:02:42with its chargers, and a group of rifles, all captured, which were stolen
01:02:57from the Bolivarian armed forces, and there you see the weapons that came here by portions,
01:03:05these are parts of weapons, portions of weapons, canyons,
01:03:12to be, to be armed here in Venezuela, the parts of the weapons, there you see all of them.
01:03:22They were bringing accessories that allowed that a pistol turn into a rifle,
01:03:33and so trust the Venezuelan people that the national government guarantees
01:03:40the peace of the Venezuelan people. Good afternoon.
01:03:49So we were listening to the Venezuelan Minister of the Interior, Diosdado Cabello,
01:03:54that was live in Venezuela as he gave details to the population about the newly captured suspects
01:03:59involved in actions against the peace and stability of the South American country.
