The president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Indira Alfonzo, in the company of the People’s Power Minister for Foreign Relations, Jorge Arreaza, presented this Tuesday before the Diplomatic Corps accredited in Venezuela and abroad the Balance on the Electoral Process, which will be celebrated next Sunday, December 6, when the Venezuelan people will elect the deputies who will represent them in the National Assembly.
During the activity carried out at the Strategic Operations Center of the Electoral Power, in Caracas, the Head of Venezuelan diplomacy conveyed to the international delegations the gratitude from President Nicolás Maduro, “for being here, for your concern for the Venezuelan people and its electoral system, despite the differences or adversities that we may have had with any of the countries represented here today”.
“From the National Government we say that it is very important that the representatives of the peoples and governments accredited in Venezuela, be able to witness, experience and feel the reality of the Venezuelan people when they go to elect their representatives to strengthen their democratic institutions”, said the Foreign Minister Arreaza.
The Venezuelan Foreign Minister denounced the intentions of the international media, specifically from the Miami-Bogotá-Madrid axis, to delegitimize the electoral process. “They are overwhelmed and unbridled with information to question the elections in Venezuela, but there you will see a free, independent, sovereign people, electing their National Assembly”, he stressed.
