Vicente Díaz: Proposals to solve the crisis in Venezuela should be discussed discreetly

Vicente Díaz, former rector of the National Electoral Council (CNE), said that proposals for a solution to the Crisis generated in Venezuela after the presidential elections of July 28 They should be done discreetly and privately between all parties involved.

In an interview with Unión Radio, Díaz said that the proposals made publicly by some countries such as Brazil and Colombia, far from helping to resolve the current situation in Venezuela, generate “unnecessary noise.”

For this reason, he considered that all proposals made by presidents and organizations must be made discreetly and privately at a negotiating table where all parties involved participate to determine their viability.

Vicente Díaz questions the lack of audits of the election results

Former rector Vicente Díaz highlighted that What generates confidence in the Venezuelan voting system is not the rectors, but the auditability of their resultssomething that did not happen after the presidential election on July 28.

“For an election to be auditable, it is necessary to have the results table by table, but without these results, it is not known what happened at the table. The country demands that the results table by table not be available,” he added.

He stressed that the first bulletin issued by Elvis Amoroso, president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), was a complete result, without the detail to which we are accustomed and which is stipulated by law.

“According to the law, the results must be announced and then published on the website by states, municipalities, parishes, centres and polling stations. This was not published, only the total result was shown with a percentage of participation,” he added.

He recalled that the CNE claimed that it could not give more details due to a hack, however, Díaz stressed that this did not prevent them from obtaining 80% of the minutes, so they had a way to publish the supplementary sheets where the result of each table is shown.

Vicente Díaz insisted that the CNE must publish the electoral results in the gazette for this Wednesday, one month after the presidential elections, but it must do so in a detailed manner and not the general result.
