Edmundo González met with Juan Carlos Delpino

Recently, Edmundo González met with Juan Carlos Delpinorector of the National Electoral Council, who also found it necessary to go into exile from the country.

«I have held a meeting with the rector of the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela Juan Carlos Delpino. He conveyed to me in detail his experience of what he experienced on July 28 within the facilities of the electoral body,” said the opposition leader.

In addition to this, González wrote to accompany the photo: «It is important to remember that Rector Delpino was the only one absent when the fraudulent results were announced on the night of the presidential election, which forced him to leave the country.

In August, the rector of the CNE released a statement in which he spoke of irregularities in the process, in which they declared Nicolás Maduro as the winner, without presenting minutes.
