US State Department called regional elections in Venezuela unfair

“Harassment of the opposition, media censorship and other non-democratic methods made the elections in Venezuela on November 21 unfree and unfair.

We applaud the courageous opposition that ran in the elections despite unfair conditions and call on the Maduro regime to respect democratic principles, ”the US Secretary of State said on Twitter.

Earlier, the National Electoral Commission of Venezuela completed the counting of votes in regional elections.

According to RIA Novosti, according to the results of the vote, the alliance of parties of the Great Patriotic Pole, which is headed by PSUV, won 18 governorships.

Two more went to the MUD's "Table for Democratic Unity", and another went to another opposition party.

Member of the Central Election Commission of Russia Alexander Kurdyumov, who arrived in the country as part of a delegation to work as an observer, said that the local elections were organized at a good level.
