The Electoral Power repudiated, this Friday, the imposition, by the United States, of illegal coercive measures against the rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE), an act that it described as an attempt to intimidate.

In a statement, signed by the president of the electoral body, Elvis Amoroso, it was emphasized that the United States has a “pathetic and obsolete” electoral system, so it has no morals to give an opinion on votes in Venezuela.

In this regard, the United States was required not to get involved in Venezuela's internal affairs.

Below is the full statement:

The Electoral Power of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela repudiates the infamous act of interference, committed by the government of the United States of America, which seeks to target and intimidate a group of Venezuelan public servants, including the Rector of the National Electoral Council, Rosalba Gil Pacheco and her Secretary Doctor Antonio José Meneses Rodríguez, through illegal Unilateral Coercive Measures, promoted by criminal groups linked to terrorism, drug trafficking and other series of crimes, who have allied with you and with other corrupt structures to finance operations against the Venezuelan electoral system and its members.

The United States of America has one of the most pathetic and obsolete electoral systems on the planet, unable to provide certainty in its results, leaving many doubts in its choices, as has been evident on countless occasions. For this reason, the United States Government lacks the moral to evaluate and give its opinion on electoral issues, much less in Venezuela where there is an electoral system with the highest global standards.

None of the ill-intentioned opinions of the organizations funded by you that act as mafias extorting our democracy has been able to tarnish the impeccable reputation built over the years by the National Electoral Council of Venezuela.

The amounts of money they have received from the Government of the United States of America, to feed the reports against Venezuela, have only served to pay for social media campaigns and fill the pockets of the mobsters who direct these terrorist and destabilizing acts against our beloved Homeland Venezuela.

Attempting to blackmail members of the National Electoral Council is a rude maneuver that has failed before. No illegal sanction against the institution has removed it from its corresponding constitutional mandate. The Electoral Power of Venezuela is today firm, united and stronger than ever, with the capacity to face any creeping attack against its integrity, as was confirmed by more than 1300 observers and companions of the successful electoral process of July 28, which reflected an unquestionable result, guaranteeing today's peace and political stability, which is the best evidence that can be exhibited in the world.
