The Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) of Venezuela yesterday summoned the 10 presidential candidates and ordered them to present all the records in their possession. All attended except the candidate who declared himself the winner, Edmundo González Urrutia, accused of participating as ambassador to El Salvador in the murder of Archbishop San Arnulfo Romero, 4 nuns and 6 Jesuit priests. All participants including the president of the Socialist Party, Nicolás Maduroanointed winner of the elections by the National Electoral Council (CNE) made up of 3 pro-government members and 2 from the opposition, They were unanimous in pointing out that the only solution to this dispute was the publicity of 100% of the electoral records. which will be compared with those that González Urrutia claims to have, without presenting them as evidence before the CNE and the TSJ.
The success of the call of the highest Venezuelan judicial authority, which was attended by 9 of the 10 presidential candidateseven candidates who violently confronted Hugo Chavez in the past, It allows us to glimpse a ray of total transparency in these elections accused of fraud by a single candidate who also did not present his evidence. Even the other candidate, Enrique Márquez of the “Centremos” party, who together with González refused to sign before the elections the document in which all parties agreed to respect the results supervised by the CNE, responded to the call of the Superior Court and agreed, like the others, to support the delivery of all the minutes held by all parties and their comparison with the B audit.
This institutional instance, agreed upon by 9 of the 10 presidential candidates, with the exception of the only one who before the elections stated that if he was not declared the winner it was because the CNE committed fraud, enshrines the postulate that the only way out of doubts is transparency and the comparison of all the records. In accordance with the requests of the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia: only the minutes will reveal the mystery. Many of the documents that Corina Machado, the confessed coup leader of the 2002 coup, who called for the US invasion of her own country and who is still at large leading the opposition, lack the signatures of prosecutors and witnesses and are simply false. At least those posted on the networks. In any case, until 100% of all official minutes appear, table by table, it will not be possible to know with accuracy and transparency which are authentic and which are false.
What is unusual is that the US has recognized the “priest killer” Edmundo Gonzalez as the winner, without waiting for all the records to be checked. And I say the same about the American group Carter, who withdrew from Venezuela without waiting for all the records to be checked.

And I say the same about the American group Carter, who withdrew from Venezuela without waiting for all the records to be checked. The United States proclaimed itself the Supreme Electoral Tribunal of the planet Earthafter proclaiming Mr. Juan Guaidó as president of Venezuela, who, standing on a stool in a square, declared himself the head of the Executive Branch of that country, without even being a candidate, appropriating the international funds received and fleeing to Miami, pursued by his own companions, The US has reiterated its mistake without even waiting for the results of the comparison of the records, the outcome of which is imminent. The US will stumble twice with its “Guaidó II” operation on the same stone.
That the United States, the highest electoral authority in the world, decides who wins and who loses in each countryhas appointed Edmundo González as president of Venezuela, may not attract attention. Their governments, whether Republican or Democrat, have the honor of being the governments with the largest military invasions on the planet, with the largest expropriations of land from their neighbors, with the largest economic sanctions that plunge entire peoples into misery, with the largest coups d’état to their credit, not to mention the crime against Salvador Allende in Chile. That is why it does not attract attention.

But What is striking is that our president Lacalle Pou, breaking the tradition of his great-grandfather Luis Alberto de Herrera and the non-interventionist international tradition that has survived our country until today, has proclaimed Edmundo González president of Venezuela without even waiting for the result of the comparison of all the records required by 9 of the 10 presidential candidates, including Maduro.What a shame. The great nationalist leader, the old and unforgettable Herrera, will be turning in his grave.
This is what the 9 presidential candidates summoned by the Electoral Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Venezuela had to say.
