The Court “unquestionably certifies the electoral material and validates the results of the presidential elections of July 28, 2024, issued by the National Electoral Council (CNE), where the citizen Nicolás Maduro Moros was elected president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. for the constitutional period 2025-2031”, said its president, Caryslia Rodriguez.
Nicolás Maduro himself appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) in early August to validate his victory.. The announcement of his re-election for a third term caused spontaneous demonstrations, which were brutally suppressed. They left 27 dead, according to a new report from authorities on Thursday. In addition, 192 people were injured and 2,400 were arrested.
No call
Nicolás Maduro was proclaimed the winner with 52% of the votes by the CNE which, however, did not provide the minutes of the polling stations, claiming to be the victim of computer hacking. Such an attack is considered unbelievable by the opposition and many observers, who see it as a maneuver by those in power to avoid revealing the exact number of votes.
“Gentlemen of the TSJ: no decision will replace popular sovereignty. The country and the world know your bias and therefore your inability to resolve the conflict; your decision will only worsen the crisis,” Mr Gonzalez Urrutia said on social media this morning, asking Maduro to allow a peaceful “political transition”.
