Nicolás Maduro to Mauricio Macri: "Put yourself on the skates because it is not the presidency this year"

In the midst of the Venezuelan crisis, current President Nicolás Maduro gave an interview to a Spanish TV show and sent a message to various leaders. When they asked him questions about his Argentinian counterpart, Mauricio Macri, Maduro was brutal: "Macri … Let him put himself on the skates, because he is removed from the presidency this year".

In the same way, the Venezuelan leader has sent strong words to the American Donald Trump, accusing him of "making mistakes that will stain the blood of your hands". In addition, he badured that with the military coups, the United States intended to return them to the twentieth century, where governments were "puppets subordinate to their commanders" and "a plunder of our natural resources". In addition to these statements, Maduro also stated that Trump intended to kill him through authorized attacks from the White House.

In a dialogue with this television media, the president also said that the entire panorama presented was part of a montage: "a permanent attrition campaign that gives Venezuela the appearance of A monster or a dictatorship ". He added that "in the full exercise of freedom of expression, there is great manipulation of all international news agencies and media outside Venezuela".

Although he does not consider that the situation of the country "will not end badly", he badumes all his responsibility "for better or for worse". Maduro ruled out that all the problems stemmed from a civil war, but added that it would depend on the "level of madness and aggressiveness". On this same line, said that "the people are armed to defend the right to peace".

As part of what the European Union had proposed in Venezuela to convene presidential elections, Maduro launched "We will not deliver to Venezuela, we accept no one's ultimatums". However, he also stated that he was not refusing to call them, but only in 2024.

Asked about Juan Guaidó, president of the opposition, he said that "it's a self-proclaimed joke, it has no constitutional basis". To these statements, he added "there is only one president and he is not empowered to badume the highest office of the country". In conclusion, the Venezuelan leader declared that "only the people choose and that only the people eliminate".
