Ecuador was one of 11 countries that signed the declaration on August 23 of this year, rejecting the declaration made last Thursday by the Venezuelan Supreme Court (TSJ) that Nicolás Maduro had won the July 28 elections.
On August 22, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) not only announced their willingness to comply with the TSJ’s decision, but also approved “absolute loyalty” to Maduro so that he can complete the new government’s term from 2025 to 2031.
The acting president is entrenched in his position and indifferent to the demands of the international community. If he refuses to accept the citizens’ mandate in the vote, expectations will not be lowered, according to a copy of the minutes submitted by the opposition. Even on July 31, the Carter Center, which served as an election observer, issued a statement saying that it could not verify or confirm the authenticity of the results of the Venezuelan presidential election.
The eleven governments that signed the recent statement affirm that only a fair and independent audit of the vote, evaluating all minutes, can guarantee respect for Venezuela’s sovereign will and democracy. We have to wonder how effective communication and persuasion can be with a ruler who responds with expletives and who, before the results were announced, warned that “a bloodbath” would occur if a decision was made against his candidacy.
The Ministry of Public Affairs has just announced that it will subpoena its opponent, Edmundo González, accused of fraud, to publish a website containing copies of electoral records proving Maduro’s defeat.
It is unhealthy for a leader to have all institutions working for him. Venezuelans have said they will not rest until Chavismo is gone. In summary, the international community has an obligation to continue to demand respect for democracy and not tolerate violations of any people’s will. (profound)
