Some key points from the phone call:
▶️ He effusively celebrates the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores by US forces (Delta Force) as “excellent news for the free world” and a decisive blow against “narco-terrorism.”
▶️ He describes Maduro as a “narco-terrorist dictator” pardoned on US charges, responsible for destroying Venezuela, causing the deaths of thousands, and provoking the exodus of more than 7 million Venezuelans.
▶️ He claims that Maduro repeatedly manipulated and stole elections, including massive fraud in 2024, and illegitimately clung to power without a peaceful solution for the people (a “sinister balance”).
▶️ He highlights the Chavista regime’s connections to drug trafficking, terrorism, and left-wing parties such as the PSOE and Podemos in Spain, as well as interference in elections in Argentina, Colombia, and Bolivia.
▶️ He praised the operation led by Donald Trump as “brilliant” and necessary to achieve justice, expressing Argentina’s full and unconditional support for the U.S.
▶️ He declared that Argentina will never recognize Maduro’s legitimacy and that in international forums (such as the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council) it will fully align itself with the U.S. position.
▶️ He acknowledged the courage of the Venezuelan people in the post-election protests, and especially highlighted María Corina Machado for her bravery (calling her deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize).
▶️ He affirmed that the legitimate president is Edmundo González Urrutia, who won the elections according to international observers, and that he should now assume power to rebuild a free Venezuela.
▶️ In response to a question from the interviewer (around minute 7), he speaks about the case of Nahuel Gallo, the Argentine gendarme illegally detained in Venezuela since December 2024: he says they were already working on his release, that they are now redoubling their efforts, and that the change of regime increases the chances of bringing him back to Argentina; he mentions the previous broken diplomatic relations (including sieges of the embassy) and the possibility of rebuilding ties.
▶️ He harshly criticizes “21st-century socialism” (Chavismo) as a criminal and infectious model that was spreading throughout the region, and celebrates that this capture marks the irreversible advance of the ideas of freedom in Latin America and the world.
