Carter Center says elections in Venezuela cannot be considered democratic
After the electoral process in Venezuela, the Carter Center published a forceful report in which it revealed the irregularities presented during the elections.
Observers concluded that the election “It did not conform to international parameters and standards of electoral integrity and cannot be considered democratic.”
The Venezuelan opposition revealed on an independent website more than 80% of the minutes, with which it claims that Edmundo González, exiled in Spain since September 8, was the winner on July 28.
This is despite the fact that the National Electoral Council (CNE) said that the winner was Maduro and proclaimed it on July 29, a result that was later ratified by a questioned technical expert opinion from the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ).
