The president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodr\u00edguez, showed this Thursday new evidence that confirms that there was no coercion during the meeting with the former opposition candidate, Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia, during their meeting at the Spanish embassy in Caracas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this regard, he presented the video that Gonz\u00e1lez recorded and broadcast on Wednesday from Madrid, capital of Spain, where he claims to have been \u201ccoerced\u201d into signing the letter he wrote, recognizing the public powers of the Venezuelan state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn that video of Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia there is something curious because he calls me, the president of the National Assembly, and recognizes that the president of the National Assembly is called Jorge Rodr\u00edguez. And refers to Delcy Elo\u00edna Rodr\u00edguez G\u00f3mez as vice-president of the Republic\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Likewise, he indicated that the video shows that the tone of the meeting was very cordial, which contradicts what Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia said, who claims that the Venezuelan government exercised coercion against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rodr\u00edguez recalled that at the meeting, Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia was told that there was \u201cevidence that Mar\u00eda Corina Machado is linked to the violent plans. To which Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez replied “Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rodr\u00edguez also announced that there is a second document signed by him and Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia, where the latter asks for his property and those of his family, as well as the residences of his children and relatives to be respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had no problem signing that letter because they are the rights granted by the Constitution to all Venezuelans. I have that document, do not force me to publish it, there is nothing in any line of that document about people deprived of their liberty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, Rodr\u00edguez said that the Spanish ambassador to Venezuela was present at the meeting as a witness of the negotiation. He then presented an audio excerpt from the witness who spoke, where he says that Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia cannot and should not name or proclaim a parallel government after his arrival in Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
