In the absence of an invitation for the presidential elections on July 28, the Venezuelan authorities will not allow a delegation from the Spanish Senate to enter the country.
According to a note from Europa PressThe Venezuelan government announced that the presence of the delegation that the Senate planned to send to the South American nation will not be accepted as it has not received an express invitation to observe the aforementioned elections.
According to the text, the media had access to a verbal note sent by the Venezuelan Embassy to the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, dated July 17, which highlights that in the National Electoral Council (CNE) support program for the presidential “An international monitoring mission” by the Upper House of that country has not been stipulated.
“If parliamentary representatives attempt to violate the electoral regulations of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by attempting to enter Venezuelan territory without being part of the aforementioned Electoral Support Program, they will be denied entry,” the note stated, according to what was reported by the Spanish media.
She also said that this delegation was going to be sent to Venezuela following an invitation made last June by opposition member María Corina Machado to the members of the Ibero-American Affairs Commission.
Last May, the CNE announced the decision to revoke and render void the invitation made to the European Union (EU) for a monitoring mission to participate in the presidential elections.
The President of the Electoral Power, Elvis Amoroso, recalled at that time that the EU ratified the unilateral coercive measures against the people of Venezuela and, consequently, it was agreed to revoke the invitation, stating that “it would be immoral” to allow their participation in light of the neocolonial practices and interventionism implemented against the country.
