Five days after the election ceremony held last Sunday in Venezuela, despite the CNE's hasty declaration of Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the presidential election, the electoral authority has not yet presented evidence of the actual results, nor has it enabled independent audit mechanisms for the vote count.
The Carter Center, a prestigious independent observer accepted by the Venezuelan Government itself, has declared that the election in Venezuela did not conform to international parameters and standards of electoral integrity and cannot be considered democratic.
In parallel, the Venezuelan opposition has done a commendable job of compiling more than 80% of the vote count reports, without their veracity having been refuted. From this count, it emerges with complete force that the candidate Edmundo González Urrutia was the presidential candidate who received the majority of votes.
Uruguay awaits with great expectation the recognition of the electoral results by the competent Venezuelan authorities and the beginning of the transition process towards the constitution of a new Government, within a framework of peace and respect for human rights.
