«In Venezuela it is impossible to make an electoral fraud, because the system is automated and audited in all its parts, before, during and after (…) No one could make a fraud and if you want to know the Venezuelan electoral system do not be guided by what which says the BBC, the EFE agency or CNN, come to know the Venezuelan system »
This was the response of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, during a press conference with international media held in Miraflores Palace, to offer a balance of regional elections, when he was consulted on the sanctions applied by the Government and the Parliament of The USA.
The Head of State urged the CNE to publish on its website videos in different languages on how the electoral system works.
He asserted that in Latin America there is no safer electoral system than the Venezuelan one.
Resurgence of Chavismo:
When asked about a resurgence or rebirth of chavismo, the socialist leader replied that it is a socio-cultural majority.
«Chavismo is the socio-cultural majority in Venezuela, is an identity, a spirituality, a way of being. Chavismo is 200 years old Bolivarianism. Chavismo is the popular force of Ezequiel Zamora. Chavismo is the people postponed and betrayed throughout the entire 20th century by political parties. Chavismo is an option of life», he argued.
He said that despite the electoral drawbacks, these will be partial, and added that there is a resilience of this political force because it works with the people.
He took advantage of the question to express that Chavismo not only has the capacity to recover from electoral defeats, but was able to reverse the coup d’état to Commander Chavez in 2002.
