The PCV questioned the use of coercive mechanisms, such as blackmail and threats to workers to go to the electoral polls in exchange for food bags
The Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) ensures that in Venezuela “the crisis of legitimacy and discredit of state institutions has been deepened” after the closure of the electoral cycle 2024-2025.
The general secretary of the Central Committee of the PCV, Oscar Figuera, affirms that in Venezuela “an authoritarian model has been consolidated that aims to replace popular sovereignty with coercion and fear.”
In his opinion, legitimacy was replaced by coercive mechanisms, such as blackmail and threats to workers to go to the electoral polls in exchange for food bags.
The communist leader denounced that these practices were accompanied by a repressive escalation before and during the electoral processes: «The prelude to the elections was marked by the arbitrary detention of union leaders in several states. The president of the Barinas Nursing College remains prey without legal foundations, and the same tried to do with the president of the Caroní Nursing College, in Bolívar, who was saved because he was not at home during an illegal search.
The PCV described as “shamelessness” the actions of the National Electoral Council (CNE) for the elimination of the results disaggregated by voting table and by the “manipulations” to the electoral registry that includes the creation of categories such as “active voters.”
The leader also questioned the “road map” raised by María Corina Machado, considering that he has caused “suffering to the working people and aggravated the economic crisis.”
*Journalism in Venezuela is exercised in a hostile environment for the press with dozens of legal instruments arranged for the punishment of the word, especially the laws “against hatred”, “against fascism” and “against blockade.” This content was written taking into consideration the threats and limits that, consequently, have been imposed on the dissemination of information from within the country.
