Trascription:

Francisco Arias:
" The Minister of the Interior Rodriguez Chacin should be made responsible as the executor."

"As intellectual author, one must, and to the boss of that band of delinquents, Chavez himself, the very President of the Republic".

"This is a move against the noblest sentiments of venezuelans".

Miguel Angel Rodríguez:
"You might say that the President was in full knowledge of the sharpshooters action".

Francisco Arias Cárdenas:
"Absolutely certain that that he knos about it, that it was ordered and that he has a sick mind".

"Look, we must understand venezuelan, and all venezuelans, and I still speak to those who have a bit of faith, who still hold a little bit of faith and hope".

"Remove that cover from your eyes. We are facing a murderer with the full meaning of the word".

"A sick person, paranoid, power sick, who believes that he is possessed by a historic task, destroying and murdering venezuelans".

"And those people who are there, as well as the one responsible for giving the order to assasinate venezuelans must pay with their guilt".

"According to democracies tenets, of peace and harmonious living they must pay for their guilt".

"What can´t be done for one minute longer, for one second longer is to continue giving support. I speak to the people of the fifth republic, I speak to all venezuelans of good will, but above all to my comrades in the armed forces".

"We can´t carry on defending, you can´t continue defending this shame".

"A murderous President, tainted with the blood of venezuelans".Presidente asesino, manchado con la sangre de los venezolanos".
