The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, filed an application for amparo this Wednesday before the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to deal with the actions of the extreme right that seek to ignore the results of the elections last Sunday, July 28.
“Criminals and fascists will not be able to defeat us,” said the Venezuelan president before being received by the president of the Supreme Court, magistrate Caryslia Beatriz Rodríguez.
The president reached the highest court in the country to file the application for amparo, accompanied by the first female combatant, Cilia Flores de Maduro, the Executive Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez; the Foreign Minister Yván Gil; the Attorney General of the Republic, Reynaldo Muñoz Pedroza, as well as the sectoral vice-presidents.
Nicolás Maduro was re-elected for a third term with 51.20% of the votes, in an electoral process that was accompanied by 910 companions and observers from 100 countries in addition to the coverage of 1,326 journalists from national and international media.
In the Venezuelan electoral system, 16 audits are carried out before, during and after the voting ceremony, which guarantees the transparency of suffrage, with automated voting, totalization and counting.
In June, eight of the ten presidential candidates signed an agreement with the National Electoral Council (CNE) to respect the electoral results. Edmundo González Urrutia refused to sign the document, and the radical opposition he represents was quick to sing “fraud” in the days leading up to the election, in a script that has characterized the Venezuelan opposition for the past 20 years.
Once the first electoral bulletin of election number 31 was issued in 25 years, the “commandos” formed by the group Vente Venezuela promoted pockets of violence in different parts of the country in ignorance of the will expressed at the polls in the presidential elections.
