1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,599 Find a documentary of Carlos Andrés Pérez' s days in Venezuela. I don 2 00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,119 ' t remember the exact name Meru who is out there in the days of 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,960 Carlos Andrés Pérez in Venezuela. In the eighties and nines, Venezuela made the 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,160 decision of the Venezuelan people to vote again, because the Andrés Pérezs to see 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,879 if they would return those days of glory that this politician gave to Venezuela. 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,079 Between seventy- four and seventy- nine, the time of Tabara Totamedo, 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:43,240 many Venezuelan planes in the domestic and international airports of Venezuela. Many Venezuelan pods 8 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,759 were leaving in their private planes, small planes, etc, because they had 9 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:56,240 an economic bonanza those good years of the oil of the deprivation of the east, 10 00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,479 that sheath to put in the name of State the Venezuelan oil companies, 11 00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:03,280 that sheath. Carlos Andrés Pérez was for many an excellent President, with his 12 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,439 shadows and lights. He returned to power in the eighties, but Carlos Andrés 13 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,120 Pérez had made a series of mistakes and proposed to remove Venezuela from the hole 14 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,280 in which he had left it the product of all the environment that was generated 15 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,680 at the end of his government and Campings. When he was sworn in, 16 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,560 he said that what he had been given was a briefcase full of bills. 17 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,519 That it was the President who succeeded Carlos Andrés Périz, who had to pay 18 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,760 the price of the mistakes of the previous years, of the previous governments here 19 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,400 was fixed point agreement of one thousand nine hundred fifty- eight. Well, 20 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:44,560 then in that Venezuela of nineteen hundred and eighty- nine, with almost thirty 21 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:53,920 years or thirty years of fixity and democracy, of accumulated crises, of a 22 00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,239 bonanza that did not flow, as the average Venezuelan was accustomed and as it 23 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:07,439 had sold out. Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America, as Carlos 24 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,000 Andrés Pérez arrived and a lot of decisions had to be made. And Carlos 25 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,479 Andrés came determined to reverse a lot of decisions that he made in his government 26 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,479 and that were taken after his government to re- route Venezuela on the path 27 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:28,199 of progress and development. But he didn' t tell the Venezuelans. He 28 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:35,759 did it after he arrived and before arriving he decided Carlos Andrés Pérez that the 29 00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:44,719 congressional hall where traditionally the presidents in democracy in Venezuela were sworn in, as 30 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:50,159 it was not enough and chose the Teresa Carreño theater, the daughter of that 31 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,080 gentleman of the author of the Carreño manual. Well that theater, which is 32 00:02:54,159 --> 00:03:00,280 one of the most sumptuous and important theaters in America. For there and a 33 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,560 spectacle of swearing for more than swearing, seemed the coronation of one of a 34 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,159 tsar or a king, Fidel Castro himself. I would comment to Carlos Andrés 35 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:17,080 Pérez that, if he did not think the pomp for an oath for a 36 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:22,879 period of government was exaggerated, Fidel, you know, very close friend and 37 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,039 ally of Carlos Andrés, was critical of him. For this reason, Carlos 38 00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:29,680 Andrés, in February of a thousand nine hundred and eighty- nine, staged 39 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,199 his show. It was an orationation, I repeat, sumptuous, magnificent in 40 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680 this theater and a week after all this began the problems to bloom and Carlos 41 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:46,759 Andrés, because he would end up having to resign the Presidency and a lot 42 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:51,199 of pods. So there' s, behind that documentary, a comment that 43 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,120 says it seems that Carlos Andrés dropped a sacues salt for having removed the president 44 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,439 ' s mandate from the National Congress. Venezuelans are ten times more powerful than 45 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,759 us. You ask that Venezuelan that what you think had to do with Carlos 46 00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:12,919 Andrés' s failure, and many will tell him about those who lived in 47 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,079 that time that he put on saracs. The swearing out in Venezuela is the 48 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:21,839 curse of Bolivar. I don' t know what sheath Venezuelan, like all 49 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,360 Latinos, is well- mandated. I say all this because sometimes cabals allow 50 00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:32,639 you to leave the pods as they are. And the President of the Republic 51 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,439 announced yesterday that why they can' t be sworn in by him and raquel 52 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:43,680 in the National Theatre. And you' ll say, Pussy Alberto. We 53 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,439 thought you were a smart guy. You believe in those pods. I believe, 54 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,480 in those pods. I believe that the symbolism he has for power, 55 00:04:51,839 --> 00:05:00,240 the hall of the Chamber, the Hall of the National Assembly and more than 56 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,160 that, that building symbolizes the first power of the State, to which he 57 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:12,720 owes submission, the executive power. No, if you know that the National 58 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,600 Congress is the first power of the state, it is the one that controls 59 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,439 and controls the entire state through the representatives who are there, who are deputies 60 00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:28,639 and senators, from where the laws are commanded and where it is governed. 61 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,680 One understands the country, but the executive is the one who executes, the 62 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,319 one who administers, the one who manages. And I don' t think 63 00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:44,199 I know. It seems symbolic to me that if the Dominican tradition has traditionally 64 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:48,519 been, the redundancy will be sworn in there because there are no three guests 65 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:53,519 to move that to the National Theatre. I am a cavalosian and I can 66 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,439 be of no, because there are other countries. I don' t make 67 00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:02,639 ad populum arguments. I am very thorough and I believe and think that in 68 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:10,560 symbolic terms, it gives me a bad omen of the idea personally. What 69 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:15,360 doesn' t call me sorry, what strikes me powerfully is that there' 70 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:19,959 s no room for people or something that pre they can tell completely exactly, 71 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:27,279 but isn' t there room for people? But renting the National Theatre and 72 00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:31,199 making that expense, of that montage in the middle of the conversation of a 73 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,720 possible tax reform and all the loans they have taken, does not seem to 74 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:39,720 me a smart decision. I think it' s absurd. If it doesn 75 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,000 ' t fit, in the Senate they gather somewhere else, somewhere after the 76 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,439 inauguration and I don' t care about it, you do the book and 77 00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:49,079 I don' t like it either. Everything I do, I say. 78 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:57,120 I wanted to bring back that history of Venezuela, because sometimes it is good 79 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:01,319 to reflect already, as he says Sunday ora, if there is a little 80 00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,120 doll, a little thing that his martita, at what time it will be 81 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,199 carpet at eight in the morning. A ridiculous one. It' s ridiculous. 82 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:13,800 All logistics is going to be the first. The deputies and senators will 83 00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:18,600 take office at eight in the morning. Surely they will make the directives of 84 00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:25,040 both chambers and will be transferred by bus to the National Theatre the members of 85 00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:30,519 the National Assembly, which are the two chambers together, gathered in session to 86 00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:34,959 swear to the President, in joint session to swear to the President and the 87 00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,000 Vice- President of the Republic. There' s an orchestra playing there, 88 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,600 there' ll be a lot of pomp and lots of parties. I' 89 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,040 m sure cheer fund, the one or earlier than in these four years there 90 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,120 was something that wasn' t in the twenty. There' s no closure, 91 00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:55,199 there' s no closure, and there' s room, because there 92 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:59,720 ' s a lot of people there that' s already cleaned up and there 93 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,000 ' s room, to hire the sixteen, there' s got to be 94 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,240 at least twenty dances here in town. They have to get their hands on 95 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,720 announce where they hire cheerleaders. What I was telling you, the main restaurants, 96 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:16,600 their lounges, the main ones of the most expensive and exclusive, are 97 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,519 already reserved for the 16th of August, after noon. I don' t 98 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:28,160 want anyone to say no, it' s too late. He' s 99 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:37,639 saying, making ominous and random parallels about no. I believe and think that 100 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:43,320 the National Congress and as they say the Constitution, says no side that it 101 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,440 has to say there. Well, by the tradition bands it is there. 102 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,639 And more than anything else, because, while the palace is the symbol of 103 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:58,320 power, of the executive power of the Presidency of the Republic, the first 104 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:05,080 power of the State, its symbol and seat is the palace of the National 105 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,360 Congress. I think that for a matter of symbolism, out there simply because 106 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:16,919 countries also build traditions and these traditions occur over time and I do not, 107 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,559 but nothing do that you want the producer of that. There' s a 108 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,399 tirijala. Let me tell you the devil don' t relax. If we 109 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:30,399 don' t have to produce someone, otherwise wait. There' s a 110 00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:35,480 long pull of that. Why, because the campaign of good friendships yes, 111 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,080 yes, on the issue of production, if the closure of the campaign closures 112 00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,840 of oron enmitys. There' s a tug in that red shape. He 113 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,960 must have introduced himself to whom I' ve seen. You guys who saw 114 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,960 him today, we' re coming.
