that you looked good night in the name of god, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world. today, in the first case , we will examine the venezuelan presidential election tonight and we will go directly to caracas to talk with mr. abdulhamid shahrabi, the international observer of the elections in venezuela, as well as with diego sekra, a writer and analyst. venuzolai in the second case of majdal al-shab incident.

we will check with mr. nasser torabi whether it was a mistake of the zionist defense or a plan and operation to start an invasion of lebanon, but first, in reference to the topic of the world program today, we would like an excerpt from the leader's words. let's see the supreme leader of the revolution at the ceremony of the revocation of the presidential decree of mr. masoud bizikian, where the foreign policy priorities of our country were explained. one of the sayings about foreign policy is that we have priorities. one of our priorities is our neighbors. we are one of the countries with many neighbors. here, one of the advantages of a country is that we have about 14 neighbors, we are almost all around us, this is an advantage for us. we should

work on our relations with our neighbors. this is one of our priorities. one of the country's priorities is the relationship with the countries that control our diplomatic field. expanding the body, for example, african countries, asian countries , these are expanding our diplomatic field, the relationship with them is one of the priorities, one of the priorities is a strong relationship with the countries that have supported us in the face of pressures and helped us, whether in the united nations or elsewhere. the united nations, whether in the field of economic cooperation or otherwise , supporting us, we must appreciate , we must strengthen our relations with them, this is the policy.

it is our priority, and there are such priority works in this field, of course, it is not like this as a motive to oppose some countries, for example. the european countries that i did not mention as a priority now, let's say that we have an enmity with them, not the reason why i do not mention the european countries as a priority is that they have not treated us well for many years. he did not treat us well. in the case of sanctions, in the case of oil, in various cases, in fake titles such as human rights and the like, treating us badly. don't have this bad behavior, of course, that is one of our priorities, and it is one of the things that

we have a priority to communicate with. we don't, and now the first case of tonight's program is that the people of venezuela are competing with each other to participate in the presidential elections today at the polls. but the main contest will be between current president nicolás maduro and former diplomat edmundo gonzález, backed by the opposition coalition. the new 6-year presidential term of venezuela is scheduled to start at the end of december. 1403 to start. but we will go directly to caracas to further investigate the way the elections are held and the conditions in venezuela, rather than with mr. abdulhamid shahri nazer.

let's discuss the international elections of venezuela, mr shahri, hello, i am at your service, dear viewers of khabar network. first of all, please tell us the details of the venezuelan presidential election, what are the events and how the candidates compete with each other . see, you and i have mentioned in your introduction that the main competition is between the venezuelan opposition and the party. the ruler of the united socialist party, which mr. maduro represents, is actually as mentioned in the title of your program. s. chaos is supposed to guard this basic competition. out of these 10 people who are candidates for the election, in fact , their qualifications have been violated by the authorities. it has been confirmed that his people belong to the opposition . the only representative who

is responsible for the revolution on the revolutionary front is mr. nicolas maduro. there are 21 million eligible people, of which several hundred thousand people will not be able to participate in the elections because the migration that has taken place in recent years, due to the difficult economic conditions here, about 7 million people were forced to migrate during the period of these threats and attacks by the united states, and some of them, for example, 800,000 people, went to the united states, and they are not able to participate in the elections. . my space basically i would like to explain here, let's talk about the main story of the venezuelan elections. yesterday , mr. madero was speaking in a meeting. it

is a bit different, but in the latin american region itself , even in the united states, european countries , i will look at this election with special attention. it should be noted that the fate of the country is here, whether the path of revolution will continue or another path will be taken, that is, relations with the united states. going that way the wheel of the country, the main issue of the election , both sides are following this trend with concern and worry . i will now ask you the following questions : do you know the main issue of the election is to preserve the independence of revolutionary venezuela, or to return to that trend of near-sightedness, exactly this, without exaggeration. i mean, this is not my personal assessment. you can look at

it. it has been almost 25 years since 1998, when hugo chávez came to power in a country without exaggeration. it was not a day when it was threatened and inspired other countries and other people in the region. latin america was able to do this bring back and overthrow the boulouvari government, so that the coup attempt should not be attempted once, twice, or three times. in the elections, which is now the main issue and ours, there has not been an election in which the united states did not actively intervene. on the one hand, on the one hand, with the economic sanctions and the pressure he is putting on venezuela, he has tried to

tire the people and discourage them from the path of revolution. advertising can shape public opinion in favor in this election, although mr. edmond and gonzalez are the representatives of the opposition , the main representative of the opposition is mrs. maria machado, who is a staunch supporter of the united states . what about maduro and the ruling party. they have a program in this election that i don't have the time to explain, in the field of industry, in the field of agriculture, in the field of international relations, in the field of communication with new unions , in all areas, to announce a clearly written program , the opposition has a plan, there is a word in this.

don't vote for the revolution , don't vote for chavista, if you vote, misfortune awaits you, and the only thing they talk about openly and clearly in their program is to communicate, which is communication. in the history of venezuela, there has been a relationship between the oppressor country and the oppressed country and the oppressed people of venezuela . this is the basic scene of the election of mr shahrabi, as you mentioned, the united states has interfered in venezuela in various ways, from coups to sanctions, over the years, and it is one of the effects of the economy. recently

, inflation reached several thousand percent. you are obviously now in caracas, venezuela. what is the economic situation like, what has been the result of that inflation of several thousand percent? look, i was in venezuela a few years ago for the national elections of regional councils, municipalities, and governors. if you compare it in just how many years. you can change this person according to my words, you, the viewers, can research by yourself do it independently, but a fundamental change has taken place. with this statistic, you can see that the inflation in june last month compared to june of the previous year has now reached 1%, the lowest rate of inflation in the past 39 years. it is a fundamental change. i will tell you the indicators. there was 7 economic growth

last year in the so-called first quarter of this year and this economic growth has continued in the past 12 quarters . now the amount is different, but the growth process has gone through, inflation has decreased, taxes on the rich have increased. social services have been developed, compared to the past basically, the situation has become fuller, where they hope to destroy the revolution with economic hardships and have to fail. this has changed . you are saying that the maduro government has been able to achieve the hyperinflation of several thousand percent in the last two or three years. it was possible to turn what was very famous in the world into a point by point inflation that reached 1%

. mr. maduro, the united socialist party of venezuela , made a plan a few years ago and promised to change this trend. let them bring fundamental changes. today, the statistics here are between 90 and 100, between 90 and 100. there is a difference of opinion, but even those who are critical are aware that the venezuelan government is producing more than 90% of its judicial needs inside venezuela, and some of them are rightly talking about this as an economic miracle. we are not talking about a few decades when this transformation took place . it has been a few years since the value of the national currency. compared to previous years, venezuela has increased, the fluctuations

in the dollar price have been controlled, and the most important thing, in my opinion, is this. improving the living conditions of the people, this is what we want to create the image that the situation here in venezuela is difficult, there is still a shortage of fuel , there is still a shortage of some basic goods , there are still power outages, but we are talking about an improvement process. let's see under what conditions this happened then, in the conditions where venezuela's land resources are blocked by the forces of the imperialist countries, the price of oil decreases, the export of oil reaches almost zero , they are doing everything they can to defeat maduro's revolution. and they do not succeed in defeating the forces of the revolution your election has these conditions. thank you , let's have another election discussion together. this

is the story of the polls in venezuela, which i saw in the western media . they publish many polls that show the opposition candidate edmundo gonzalez as the winner of the election by a large margin. some of them use this interpretation. that we in venezuela have another competition in addition to that electoral competition, which is the battle of nazarji. what is the story of these polls, see mr. maduro yesterday in this meeting where he was speaking with international observers, he had an interesting talk that in this is tense. he was also saying that in the elections , they have had 30 elections in the past 25 years, of which 29 have been won, then he counted and reviewed these elections one by one. we are seeing that before the elections, the opposition claims that its votes are far more than those of the revolutionary forces, and this is in a situation where

they are making these advertisements, which they themselves know is not the case , and why are these advertisements being made? in order to set the stage, in order to set the stage , in order to justify it like this after the failure we had the highest number of votes, and now that we did not get out of the ballot box, we were not elected, which means that fraud has taken place, and they should be able to take someone out of their sleeve, like mr. guaido, and say that this president is still a danger now. there is that in case of failure. do not accept demonstrations, let them create riots , create instability, but what can be said with confidence and anti-decisiveness about the commentators is that they say that, for example, mr. gonzalez's opposition is 20% 30 %. maduro has no choice

it is completely exaggerated and completely manipulated . yesterday, one of the so-called it experts specializing in this field was explaining how they make these surveys, how they use artificial intelligence, using the creation of all kinds of bugs, which is not my specialized field of knowledge , but from a technical point of view, he explained how these polls are fake and targeted. the purpose of his behavior is to justify the defeat of the opposition in the elections, but this does not mean that you see, i do not want to create a false image for the audience of your program, the situation in venezuela is difficult. just like the situation in any country that is fighting for its independence due to the invasions of the

united states, we are talking about a country with 40,000 people, 40,000 people. as a result of these sanctions , they lose their lives. we are talking about a country that, at the height of the corona virus, the white house orders that it prohibits any country from sending aid in the field of the corona virus vaccine. there have been very difficult conditions . he is pumping it up. in the society, which is the cause of these difficult conditions for your resistance, stop resisting it can be solved by saying, "you see, let's look here in latin america, let's look at the forces that abandoned this path and go, for example, you look at argentina, they vote for someone who is

openly with israel, with israel and america , and look at their livelihood situation. look at the economy of workers here. in venezuela , what has happened, the time of your program is short, i want your permission, yes, i also have a final question , by the way, ask you, i am at your service . that in practice, will hugo chávez maduro's decades-long legacy, who was able to win two electoral contests, preserve his legacy? with the announcement of the initial results, your impression as someone who has been following the venezuelan issue for years is still there , maybe many of our audience too. read this so that they know that when the elections are over and the cash registers are opened , your opinion is whether nicolás maduro will win the election again. let me draw the scene for you . pay attention to the number of more than 60,000. there are more than 60,000 revolutionary cores in

the localities. single villages. what are the cities of venezuela? they are like our own basij forces, like iran's volunteer forces when the war was surrendered. they are now mobilized to ensure that they convince the citizens of venezuela to vote at the polls and defend the revolution. what do i mean, even if maduro and the socialist party won the election, not the bolivarian revolution. the trend that is known as the chavista trend in the world has been formed, it has gained consistency, it is stronger today than ever before. regardless of the results of the votes , this process will continue to expand, deepen and strengthen .

regarding the venezuelan elections, i would like to tell you what my guess is. now if it was wrong , i will raise my hands and say that i made a wrong prediction. i think that i am referring to some of my polls. i emphasize that it is very important that you look at the society. you are saying that the society is not the same , we have hardworking forces in it and we have forces whose situation is different in any way in terms of economic conditions. the

hardworking labor forces are supporters of the revolution. thank you mr. shahrabi for your participation in this conversation . international internal elections. uh for the people of venezuela to continue a path of building fair and just society with socialist policies, even in the context of

the capitalist economy, versus letting neuroliberal capitalism continue its path, destroying the environment, taking away rights of people, and that's the same choice that all people in uh the americas and in the world have, in venezuela. has a chance that the people make the right decision to continue this path that hugo chávez began to of liberation of people, protecting people's rights, uh, very much popular, an example of popular power, a form of democracy that the world needs to be able to learn from, so it's a direction of progressive uh liberation movements in the whole world, and venezuela. is at the uh core of that that struggle, that historical struggle between oppressors and the oppressed, and victory tomorrow will be a

great step forward in the movement for justice globally, porque pueblos soy, porque yo si tengo bien clarito a dónde voy, y quiénes son ellos los que hoy me señalan well look, frankly, this is an election between defending the bolivarian revolution and returning to the oligarchy, that's the choice on the ballot. do you want to go back before 1998 or do you want to advance from 2024 onwards? mr. madhuro is leading the bolivarian revolution now. that's where we are. the opposition wants to take the country back to the. days of subservience to us imperialism and to the small oligarchy that used to rule venezuela, that's the choice, there is nothing else on the ballet, there is

no third option. it's very difficult to tell, because people have been suffering from terrible sanctions for decades, and because of those sanctions, it's sometimes hard for people to understand why their situation is sometimes so difficult, things are improving in. venezuela now, but still the country is being garroted, suffocated by us imperialism, whether mr. madhur of very energetically campaigning to explain the situation to the people, whether he is able to have done that, that's what we're going to find out on sunday. i think this election is very, very important in terms of the international valence of power, um, but in particular, the balance of power uh and the relations

of power in the american. "we all know that to the degree that they are able to undermine venezuela, they are able to undermine the entire american region. venezuela is key for nicaragua, for cuba, for most of the progressive forces here in this region, so the imperialist forces are quite clear that they can wound uh venezuela that they can continue to exert control in this region."

we will fight for the third election race to preserve the legacy of hugo chávez. we are in touch again with caracas . this time we want to talk to venezuelan writer and analyst mr. diego sekra . hello, mr. sekra. hello, good night, and thank you. you invited me. thank you for accepting our invitation . as a first question, i prefer to start the conversation with the article you wrote two days ago. the current election in venezuela is the most unequal election in the past decades . is in which several presidential candidates including

the president. western countries and america in particular have financial and political advantages and this. in a situation where venezuela has been fighting for its independence against foreign interference for the past few decades , it is truly unprecedented. this amount of support for candidates against the current government is very high. now, well, i myself am a supporter of madura. he has

many challenges. it is opposite.

a nation can enjoy it, but challenges have been created against this struggle . take advantage of some of the problems that exist in venezuela and stop this positive process that has been created in this country. thank you for referring to the problems imposed on venezuela. well, we know that chavez was elected by the people in this country in 1999. almost 25 years have passed since hugo chávez started the path and nicolás maduro continued after that. an interesting aspect is that despite all these harsh conditions of sanctions , there was inflation that was several thousand percent, and now we have the guest we were talking to before you said that now
