International observers from the Basque country who participated in the electoral process on July 28 confirmed that the result of these elections represents the legitimate expression of the Venezuelan people.

Through a statement, published by the Consulate of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Bilbao, through its account on the social network X; the observers acknowledged that the National Electoral Council (CNE) organized transparent, verifiable and democratic votes. In addition, they attested to the peace that reigned in the country during the election campaign and the votes.

“The accusations of fraud by some opposition groups are totally baseless and only respond to an old political strategy of extremist elements to undermine Venezuelan institutions,” the statement said.

In addition, these experts on electoral issues denounced the launch in the country of an operation aimed at creating confusion and destabilizing the country and added that it began with attacks on the CNE's IT infrastructure and continued with acts of violence and a fake news campaign.

“We urge our institutions to respect the result of the Presidential Elections as a sovereign expression of the Venezuelan people and to maintain a respectful relationship with Venezuela and its institutions,” reads the text.
