“We have been summoned by the courts, the 10 candidates, 9 of us have attended. The candidate of fascism, González Urrutia, was absent again. Mr. González Urrutia, if you do not respect the National Electoral Council or the Supreme Court of Justice, what are you trying to do?” said President Maduro, emphasizing that this is an act “of the highest legal, constitutional and judicial level.”
