Elections 2024 in Venezuela, live | Gustavo Petro: “Whatever the will of the Venezuelan people, my government will respect it”

The Milley government believes Venezuela is “close to restoring full democracy”.

The Argentine government recognized this Friday that Venezuela is “close to recovering full democracy” and reiterated its wish that “the right to vote be respected” in the elections scheduled for next Sunday, July 28, in the Caribbean country.

The president’s spokesman, Manuel Adorni, expressed the executive’s “unwavering commitment to electoral transparency, human rights and freedom of expression” at his usual press conference in the Casa Rosada (the seat of government). “This Sunday, the eyes of the world will be on Venezuela,” he said.

On the other hand, Adorni expressed the government’s displeasure at a statement by the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo organization in support of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro before the election, in which it called Argentine President Javier Maier a “fascist”.

The spokesperson also expressed “shock and dismay” at the Venezuelan Government’s decision to cancel the invitation for former Argentine President Alberto Fernández (2019-2023) to serve as an international observer in next Sunday’s elections.

The Argentine human rights defense organization Madres de Plaza de Mayo expressed its support for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who aspires to his third consecutive six-year term in the elections of July 28, and questioned the “fascist” government of Javier Mieli’s intention to “punish” the Caribbean country.

Our warm revolutionary greetings to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
on the eve of the next presidential election
Sunday, July 28,” the organization said in a statement
