• Venezuela The EU electoral mission confirms the traps of Chavismo despite a "more balanced" electoral referee

  • Exteriors Albares stands up to Maduro: "The elections have not met democratic expectations"

"A big disappointment". This is how the government of Nicolás Maduro described the "disqualifications and value judgments" made by the Spanish Foreign Ministry against a

"process with full guarantees of a vibrant democracy."

An "unfortunate pronouncement bending to the interests of

Washington, whose supremacist government has the sole objective of maintaining the agenda of aggression

against Venezuela," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Bolivarian revolution urged Madrid to rectify "that exhausted position condemned to the most resounding of failures", in the first Chavista reaction awaiting the final pronouncement of Nicolás Maduro. The Spanish communiqué fell like a bomb within the government due to its forcefulness, by assuring that

last Sunday's local elections "did not meet democratic expectations."

Chavismo maintained that Madrid's statements go against what was affirmed by its "hundreds of international observers", a small group of unconditional allies of the revolution who attended the electoral day invited by Maduro. The main figure of these observers was José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who in Caracas had the support of Juan Carlos Monedero, founder of Podemos, and the communist MEP Manu Pineda. All of them "have described the Venezuelan electoral system as one of the most modern and reliable in the world," said the Foreign Ministry.

Less formal was Diosdado Cabello, number two of the revolution, who viciously attacked "Queen Isabel",

referring to the Portuguese MEP Isabel Pedrosa,

at the head of the Electoral Observation Mission of the European Union (EU), whom He also described as imperialist, racist and a liar. A mission made up of "stupid" was shot by the former president of the Constituent Assembly, who was not satisfied only with the insults and

also threatened Roberto Picón,

one of the new rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE): "I don't know what you're going to do. to do when Isabel Santos is not there ".

The European mission has not completed its work, although it has already advanced its criticisms in the preliminary report.

Its delegates closely follow the events in Barinas, the cradle of the revolution, where

the minutes give Freddy Superlano,

leader of Voluntad Popular (VP), the party of the president in charge, Juan Guaidó, and former political prisoner Leopoldo López

as the winner

.

Despite having the "best electoral system in the world", the CNE does not dare for the moment to give as the winner the opponent, who would have imposed on Argenis Chávez, brother of the "supreme commander" in an emblematic territory governed for two decades by the Chávez family.

Both the CNE and those who defend small electoral advances thus face a real litmus test.

"The regime refuses to accept that they are a minority in Barinas, without popular support, in a state that they considered a bastion of Chavismo," Guaidó denounced.

"The regime is metabolizing the defeat in Barinas or it is trying to steal the election.

We must press until the results are given,"

claimed Stalin González, a former deputy who accompanies Henrique Capriles in the leadership of those who bet to face the polls at the polls. revolution.

"Long live Chávez, long live the triumph of the revolution!", Argenis Chávez celebrated on his side, ignoring the hundreds of people who demonstrated in front of the local CNE headquarters.

Both parties know that the four-day delay in decreeing a winner is not due to technical aspects: between the two candidates they barely reach 200,000 votes.
