Two days later, Ramírez responded to the minister’s threats: “Surprised by the threats. I am a substitute Rector, not incorporated into the CNE.

According to Cabello, former CNE rector Juan Carlos Delpino, who left the country after the presidential elections, would also participate in this alleged action.
