00:00 The National Electoral Council of Venezuela requested the foreign ministry to bring the
00:03 truth about the transparency of the Venezuelan electoral system to the world.
00:07 The president of the electoral council, Elvis Amoroso, held on Thursday a meeting with the
00:11 Venezuelan foreign minister Ivan Hill to discuss the development of the electoral process and
00:16 the presidential elections of next July 28, 2024.
00:20 During the meeting, Amoroso pointed out that the doors of the country are open for international
00:25 observers, but it would not allow them to interfere in the actions of the CNE and the
00:30 electoral process.
00:31 For his part, foreign minister Ivan Hill emphasized that invitations were sent to more than 67
00:36 electoral organizations, as well as to a series of personalities.
00:39 The diplomat also reiterated that the country has a reliable electoral system, of which
00:44 the Venezuelan people can be proud.
00:53 It is important for you to be the spokesperson of this power in order to clarify to any institution
00:58 or any country that has doubts.
01:00 We have the doors of the National Electoral Council of the electoral power open for all
01:14 of those who want to come to Venezuela and for all those who want information.
01:19 Before issuing any false statement, we recommend you to come here and we will show you what
01:35 each one of the candidates representing different political parties did.
01:39 That is the normal procedure that has really been serious and we ask you, foreign minister,
01:44 to be the spokesperson for all this information.
01:49 Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Hill highlighted the positive results of the electoral power
01:53 regarding the international accompaniment of the electoral process.
01:59 The last accompaniment was precisely in the election of governors and mayors in the year
02:04 2021, and the reports we received were extremely positive.
02:09 We have always had recommendations.
02:15 The CNE has always assumed a proactive role to improve itself more and more, in a system
02:22 that is almost perfect because it listens first to the people and also the international
02:32 monitoring and supervision.
02:34 The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry has also made an effort to inform the world through the
02:39 diplomatic representatives accredited in Caracas.
02:43 Likewise, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister pointed out that the joint accompaniment with
02:48 the electoral power allows showing the world the strength of the Venezuelan electoral system.
02:55 We also feel very excited to be able to begin this accompaniment in this interaction with
03:00 the electoral power that, as I repeat, allows us to proudly show ourselves to the world
03:09 as a state with a strong electoral power, an electoral power that reflects precisely
03:14 the will of the Venezuelan people and that on July 28 will deliver to us precisely that
03:23 result, that value, that decision of the people.
03:29 In Venezuela, the government rejected the recent declarations of Guyana regarding the
03:33 lawful defense of Guayana Ezequiel enacted by the executive branch.
03:37 In an official statement, the Government of Venezuela fully and categorically rejects
03:41 the communiqué issued on April 3, 2024, by the Government of Guyana on the enactment
03:45 of the Organic Law for the Defense of Guayana Ezequiel.
03:48 It also stressed that the approval of the Affirmation Law is a sovereign act which is
03:52 the sole responsibility of Venezuelans, and its objective is to defend and preserve the
03:57 unquestionable rights of Venezuela over the territory of Guayana Ezequiel.
04:02 Likewise, it assured that Venezuela reiterates that it does not recognize the judicial mechanism
04:07 as a means of resolving the territorial dispute with Guayana as it excludes the nature and
04:12 purpose of the Geneva Agreement, and it denounces the strenuous maneuver to seize the territory
