The head of the Council of Ministers, Gustavo Adrianzenspoke about the crisis that Venezuela has been going through as a result of the controversial elections held on July 28 and which have been tainted by fraud by Nicolás MaduroAlong these lines, he not only reaffirmed that Peru will continue to request a recount of the minutes, but also confirmed that the president Dina Boluarte will not speak out in a “personal” manneras other leaders have done.
“Official communications have already been extended. I reiterate, the request of the Peruvian State “The counting of the minutes is to take place and the minutes are to be displayed and observers to participate in the process. At the moment we do not see the president making a personal statement. In any case, the official communications are there,” he said.
On the other hand, Adrianzén stressed that the position of the Peruvian State is similar to the idea put forward by Foreign Minister Javier González Olaechea.
“We want to express what has already been officially stated, the Peruvian State hopes that, as soon as possible, the complete record can be reviewed, a complete count of the records can be carried out and, of course, with the presence of observers,” he said.
Similarly, the head of the Council of Ministers spoke about the breaking of diplomatic relations between Venezuela and Peru. “We are concerned that today, after the deadline for breaking diplomatic relations has expired, Venezuelan diplomatic officials are leaving the country. Peruvian officials have already left Venezuela, they have had to take a flight to Colombia and they are safe, happily, and will probably soon arrive in Peru,” he said.
Chancellor calls for abstention votes from countries
Speaking at the Organization of American States (OAS), Foreign Minister González Olaechea reflected on the consequences that the abstention votes of other representatives would have.
“We are proving our voters, our young people, who do not believe us, right, as are the politicians, the diplomats, the representatives, and the polls are there. They reject us, in many cases, to put it clearly, because we are not coherent,” he said.
In this context, he pointed out that the representatives who voted in favor of the initiative that sought to make the electoral process in Venezuela transparent are not responsible for the deaths and violence that the country is currently suffering.
“So, what is going to happen tomorrow? Pressure on the streets will increase, there will be more deaths, it will be interpreted as a political victory for the regime. And the 17 of us who voted are not responsible for those deaths,” he concluded.
