“We have the responsibility to defend the memory of the person who was responsible for building the Electoral Power. A great patriot, I think that Venezuela loses a bulwark. A Democrat who defended Republican principles,” Calzadilla said during a radio interview.
He recalled that Lucena was a reference of honesty and patriotism when he was in charge of the constituent process in 1999. “What he leaves as a legacy is having built an electoral system that is today a reason for international recognition. An automated voting system and the modernization of an electoral system”, added the current president of the CNE.
