The president of the Council of Latin American Electoral Experts (CLAEE), Nicanor Moscoso, an organization that will participate in the regional elections of October 15 as an international companion, highlighted the reliability of the Venezuelan electoral system.
“The Venezuelan electoral system has passed all the tests, because it has been observed from all angles,” said the representative of this regional organization made up of 40 former presidents of electoral bodies in Latin America.
The mission of accompaniment, he clarified, is not intended to interfere in domestic politics, whose treatment is the exclusive competence of political organizations and jurisdictional estates of each nation.
“When one is an escort or electoral observer and interferes in the internal political debate of the country, can be disqualified by one sector or another. Anyone who comes to a country and expresses their opinion against either the Government or the opposition, there will always be anyone who is affected by this biased pronouncement”.
The former president of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal of Ecuador commented that the CLAEE will present a report with conclusions and recommendations, the latter based on the experience gathered during 13 years of operation.
During his participation in the “Encendidos” (Trned On) program, by VTV, stressed that the regional body is self-funded by its members, who have voluntarily put their experiences at the service of Latin American peoples.
Antonio Mugica was not informed:
The statements of the director of Smartmatic, Antonio Mugica, on the elections of the National Constituent Assembly, were unfortunate and show a misinformation on the subject, in the opinion of Mocoso, for whom it was blunt the participation of 8 million Venezuelans.
“I think he was uninformed, did not have the right information and then made a statement he could not sustain, we have never seen in social networks or in international news that ratification or rectification of this information.”
Venezuelans will vote in peace:
The chief of mission of escorts is confident that the Venezuelan people will leave on October 15 to vote in peace, to elect their governors in the 23 states, as happened on July 30: “People in the streets were saying: We go out to vote because we want peace, we do not want violence”.
On this point, he added that after the people’s will expressed that day in the streets, on July 30, “as if by magic, violence ended.”
