Deputy Jose Gregorio Correa (Democratic Action – Cojedes) assured this Tuesday the 20th that they expect “before 70 days” to deliver to the plenary of the National Assembly elected in 2020 the names of the possible new rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE).

On June 15, eight principal and alternate rectors of the CNE –among them its president, Pedro Calzadilla– presented their resignation, without explaining their reasons.

He explained that they have already begun to receive applications from civil society to integrate the Electoral Applications Committee. “Since yesterday (Monday 19) when the process began, Venezuelans began to be received, last time it was an intensely acceptable number and we believe that this time it will be the same.”
The deputy reiterated that it is necessary to generate confidence in the voter from the National Assembly. In addition, he dismissed an institutional crisis within the CNE, as stated by the principal rectors Roberto Picón and Enrique Marquez when submitting their resignations.
«There is no crisis, a crisis is when there are no mechanisms provided for in the Constitution, but in the Magna Carta and the laws it is provided to do when there is an absolute vacancy, or as in this case what about the fifteen, as it should provide and that is what we are doing from the AN,” he said.
