Ángel Marrades, a political scientist with a degree from the University of Salamanca who identifies on Twitter as @VonKoutli, is the one who released the video. In case of doubt about the veracity of the video, filmed in the Burmese town of Naipyidó, Ángel also posted the Facebook link where the course first aired.

The Burmese army surrounded the capital, Naypyidaw, before the parliament formed in the elections last November opened its first session. The armed forces declared, via their television channel, state of emergency for one year and they announced that former general and vice president Myint Swe would serve as the country’s presidency.

The army denounced that during the legislative elections last year, “huge irregularities” had been committed. At the time, the ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), had won a landslide victory.
