On August 16, 2004, the Leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chávez Frías, assured that revolutionaries knew what respect for the electoral referee and the rules of the game were, unlike the right wing that only knows how to sing fraud.

In that sense, from the Miraflores Palace, he recalled that in governor elections the Revolution lost some and had no problem handing them over. “We don't have any problems, we have to respect the referee and the rules of the game, not start inventing fraud where there is not a single proof of fraud,” he said.

He also emphasized that with the new National Electoral Council (CNE) in Venezuela the elections were more transparent and cleaner, unlike in the Fourth Republic where many were prevented from voting. At the same time, he questioned the campaign against the military through the media for not ignoring the electoral results and taking up arms.

“It's the format, and if it's illegitimate, an uprising against it is worth it, but they don't have a way, desires don't commit, they say there in my town, desires don't commit,” he emphasized, referring to the fact that sectors of the right always sing fraud.
