August 14, 2024 The Honorable Antony Blinken United States Secretary of State The State Department Washington, DC 20500
Dear Secretary Blinken: As former United States officials with a long-standing interest in the return of democracy and constitutional order to Venezuela, we encourage you to give greater strength to your August 1 declaration that opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia won the August 28 presidential election. July in that country.
Autocrat Nicolás Maduro has rejected that outcome and instead launched another violent repression against Venezuelans seeking a different future for the country.
Their actions undermine the broader US foreign policy interests in the region: defending democratic institutions and promoting regional stability to foster economic growth and reduce migratory pressures.
What is needed most now is to reinforce hope among the Venezuelan people that friends and allies abroad are working effectively to ensure that their votes are respected and that a concrete and serious international effort is underway to resolve the current crisis.
The diplomatic efforts of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico are notable, but there is no substitute for US leadership in mobilizing like-minded democratic governments to pressure the regime to respect those electoral results and accept a timely transition of power.
Any negotiation with Maduro and/or elements of his regime must have the ultimate goal of advancing an irreversible transition process that empowers new political leaders who reflect the votes of the Venezuelan people. https://m.stacker.news/46382
A proactive strategy must not only provide incentives for Maduro to leave power peacefully, but also include measures to increase the costs of his regime's continued intransigence, including:
Declare forcefully that Nicolás Maduro has exclusive responsibility for the personal safety of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González and that any harm to them will have serious repercussions.
Expand targeted sanctions against individuals, including regime leaders and security officials, who engage in human rights abuses or undemocratic measures.
Relief from sanctions and other incentives for de facto officials and security personnel who take measures to respect the rights of the Venezuelan people and facilitate a democratic transition.
Terminate current U.S. Treasury Department licenses that allow trade with the regime, including those that have allowed the renewal of oil production and sales, if Maduro refuses to negotiate and yield to a transition of power.
Empower a task force of law enforcement to locate and confiscate stolen assets and expose the massive corruption that has impoverished innocent Venezuelans and facilitated criminal schemes involving America's worst enemies.
We have all painfully learned that what happens in Venezuela will have effects far beyond its borders. The exodus of almost eight million Venezuelans has not only complicated the United States' efforts to stabilize the situation on our country's southern border. It is an immense humanitarian tragedy that has imposed significant costs on many countries in the region.
Additionally, polls show that Venezuelans are prepared for an increase in emigration if they believe the Maduro regime will remain in power for the foreseeable future. Clearly, migration seems to be more linked to
hope, or its absence, than to any other factor. Therefore, it is critical that United States policy remain singularly focused on a peaceful transfer of power in Venezuela and that any
divergence from that result be summarily rejected. https://m.stacker.news/46383
Venezuela's brave voters have created an unprecedented opportunity to depose a lawless dictatorship by peaceful means. The decisions you make together with our democratic allies in the coming days will decide the future of Venezuela and the Americas as a whole: either that country reintegrates into the community of democratic nations, with millions of Venezuelans returning to rebuild their country, or collapse continues, with predictable consequences for its people, its neighbors, and the hemispheric interests of the United States.

The regime in power is sowing terror as a tool to silence citizens and perpetuate the official authoritarian regime in power. Venezuela must stop practices that violate human rights immediately, restore democratic order and the rule of law.
On October 17, 2023, the government of Venezuela and the opposition signed the "Partial Agreement on the Promotion of Political Rights and Electoral Guarantees for All Venezuelans" which established the commitment to carry out peaceful presidential elections with international observation. However, in the pre-electoral period, the regime intensified practices authoritarian to obstruct the political participation through a pattern of coercion aimed at demobilizing the opposition and its potential sympathizers. In other measures, the registration of opposition candidates, such as those of María Corina Machado and Corina Yoris, was prevented. Likewise, the State imposed barriers to voting abroad, and denied the accreditation and entry into the country of the majority of independent international observation missions. In addition, political persecution, harassment and arbitrary arrests of opposition leaders, activists and journalists intensified. In that context, Nicolás Maduro warned of a "bloodbath and a civil war in the country" if the opposition achieved an electoral victory. This announcement had the objective of instilling terror in the population and generating a paralyzing effect on participation citizen in the process.
On July 28, 2024, the presidential elections were held with a greater participation than in previous elections, both of voters and volunteers who acted as table witnesses and observers.

THE IDEA GROUP REJECTS THAT THE GOVERNMENTS OF BRAZIL, COLOMBIA AND MEXICO TOLERATE THE VENEZUELAN DICTATORSHIP AND EVEN INTEND TO SPONSOR NEW ELECTIONS
The former heads of State and Government participating in the Democratic Initiative of Spain and the Americas (IDEA Group) raise their voices to emphatically point out that it is scandalous for the community of democratic nations in the Americas to see the governments of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico joining the purpose of the dictator Nicolás Maduro Moros to remain in power and even promote new elections in Venezuela. Such an action, under a regime that violated the Barbados Agreements, has banned electoral observation and imprisoned polling witnesses, would become a true robbery of inter-American democratic rights; since it would annul the popular will already expressed unequivocally at the polls on July 28 and would ignore the unquestionable defeat of the dictatorship of Maduro Moros, as corroborated by the Technical Reports of the Organization of American States and the Carter Center. So much so that the UN Panel of Experts, upon recognizing that the opposition's minutes "exhibit all the security devices of the original results protocols," also specifies that "the announcement of the result of an election such as the one made by the National Electoral Council in announcing the re-election of Maduro Moros - without the publication of his details or the disclosure of tabulated results to the candidates is unprecedented in contemporary democratic elections."
The UN and the OAS have established that the Administration of Justice in Venezuela totally lacks independence and impartiality and is a necessary accomplice in the crimes against humanity that the International Criminal Court is currently aware of. The United Nations and its High Commissioner for Human Rights have reported that there are already thousands of prisoners and missing persons, with a significant number of murders, torture and segregations for political reasons following the presidential elections of July 28. The Venezuelan dictatorship also intends to dilute the legal responsibility of those who falsified the electoral results through the interventions of the Electoral Branch, the Supreme Court of Justice, the protocol leadership of the Armed Forces and the Public Ministry.
If the aforementioned governments tolerate the plans of the Venezuelan dictator and his coalition public powers, they compromise respect for universal democratic behavior and do so before their own nations. https://m.stacker.news/46410

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the publication of the so-called "Preliminary Report" of the Panel of Electoral Experts of the United Nations, which spreads a series of lies, violating content and method, not only the principles that govern operation of the expert groups, but rather the Terms of Reference signed with the Venezuelan Electoral Branch, which represents an absolute reckless act that undermines confidence in the mechanisms designed for cooperation and technical assistance.
The agents Domenico Tuccinardi, Italian and head of the delegation; Fernanda Abreu, Portuguese; Roly Dávila, Guatemalan and Maria de Lourdes González, Mexican; have had broad access to all phases of the electoral process, in which President Nicolás Maduro Moros was victorious, as stated in the Proclamation Act issued by the National Electoral Council, being able to verify the excellent functioning of the Venezuelan system, which is why The opinion expressed in your irresponsible writing is nothing more than an act of propaganda that serves the coup interests of the Venezuelan extreme right, with whom they constantly interacted before, during and after the aforementioned elections, whose leaders designed a violent plan for July 29 and 30, ignoring the electoral results, public events, notorious communications , which the "experts" deliberately hide.
It is striking that during their stay in Venezuela, the members of this fake panel of experts had frequent direct contacts, via telephone and through videoconferences, with officials of the United States Department of State, which is why there is no doubt that their statements are the product of hostile instructions emanating from this body, which they seem to serve far from the commitments they had to assume within the framework of their mandate.
The unethical and professional attitude of this group of agents leaves a negative mark due to their erratic actions, allowing themselves to be imposed and promoting a violent agenda, with the sole purpose of damaging Venezuelan democracy and sowing doubts about the functioning of its constitutional institutions. This attack on democracy, carried out by false electoral experts, will also fail and justice and respect for the sovereign will of its people will prevail in Venezuela.

Preliminary report
UN Panel of Experts - Venezuelan Presidential Election of the
July 28, 2024
  1. At the invitation of the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela, and within the framework of the Barbados Agreement of October 2023, the United Nations (UN) Panel of Experts, composed of four electoral experts, was deployed to Venezuela , from the end of June to August 2, 2024, for the presidential election held on July 28, 2024. Its objective was to monitor and report internally to the UN Secretary General on the electoral process, and make recommendations for future improvements . The Panel was not an observation mission and, unlike electoral observation missions, was not established to publicly issue an assessment of the election outcome.
  2. The Panel presents in this report some of its preliminary conclusions, focused on election day and the management and announcement of the results. The Panela continues to remotely monitor and analyze the process, specifically, the processing of electoral claims and appeals. The Panel's full report will also address the legal framework of elections, voter registration, candidate registration, campaign context, electoral administration and women's political participation.
3 The election was dominated by the contest between the official candidate, President Nicolás Maduro, and the candidate of the opposition Democratic Unitary Platform, Edmundo González Urrutia. There were no women candidates on the ballot.
  1. The pre-election period was marked by continuous restrictions on civic and political space. The government campaign dominated state media, with very limited access for opposition candidates. Numerous restrictions on the right to run for public office remained in place for several prominent political figures. Despite the absence of equal conditions, the period
The pre-election process generally took place peacefully, amidst renewed enthusiasm.
  1. The Panel also took note of other elements that determined the context of the election and how its contestants perceived their participation. For example, the candidate The ruling party and the government party's campaign emphasized the economic and financial sanctions imposed on Venezuela, and described the election as an unfair race in which the President was at a disadvantage.
  2. Election day, Sunday, July 28, 2024, took place in a predominantly peaceful environment and was well organized logistically. The CNE was able to quickly detect and resolve the vast majority of small technical problems that were reported during the day. In general, voters were patient and eager to participate, despite long wait times and reports of last-minute changes to their assigned polling stations.
  3. The CNE reported a participation of 59.97% of registered voters. Opposition parties reported similar turnout figures. This represents a significant increase over the 2018 presidential election (45.74%). If only registered voters present in the country are considered, the level of participation would be even higher.
  4. As all contenders acknowledged, the electronic voting system was well designed and reliable, and was programmed to operate with important audit procedures and the dissemination of results protocols (minutes) at the voting stations. The CNE had also implemented a robust mechanism for the results transmission process: the digital transmission of results from each voting machine to the CNE's main tabulation center, with various levels of protection against unauthorized connections and cyber attacks.
  5. The electronic transmission of results initially worked well, but was abruptly stopped in the hours after the voting stations closed, with no information or explanation provided to the candidates at that time, nor to the Panel. At the time of announcing the results, the President of the CNE declared that a terrorist cyber attack had affected the transmission and had caused a delay in the tabulation process. However, the CNE postponed and subsequently canceled three key post-election audits, including one on the communication system that could have shed light on the occurrence of external attacks against the transmission infrastructure.
  6. In the early hours of July 2024, the President of the CNE orally announced that President Nicolás Maduro had won the election with 5,150,092 votes (51.2%), followed by Edmundo González with 4,445,978 votes (44 .2%), stating that The voting stations had received 80% results. On August 2, the CNE confirmed President Maduro as the winner with 6,408,844 votes (51.95%), followed by González with 5,326,104 votes (43.18%), based on what according to the CNE were 96 .97% of the table results. The results announcements consisted of oral communications without infographic support. The CNE did not publish, and has not yet published, any results (or results broken down by voting station) to support its oral announcements, as contemplated in the electoral legal framework.
  7. The CNE implemented measures for the production of printed results protocols (minutes), at the voting station level. This was a key transparency safeguard (i.e. paper trail), with various security features such as QR codes and unique signature verification codes, as well as physical signatures of officials and agents. These security features, as a whole, appear to be very difficult to fake. The legal framework stipulates that each original printed protocol must be sealed and safeguarded by the military. Copies of these were to be distributed to polling station officials, party agents and accredited observers. However, the Panel received several reports that agents of opposition parties had been prevented from obtaining such a copy. Furthermore, despite guaranteeing that it would do so, the CNE has not published these results protocols (minutes).
  8. The Panel reviewed a small sample of documents that are currently in the public domain (including those published online by the opposition) and that are reported as protocols (minutes) of results from various voting stations. All those that were reviewed exhibit all the security devices of the original protocols of the results. This suggests that a key transparency safeguard measure would be available, as planned, in respect of any officially published results. (The Panel did not intend to verify or review the vote totals.)
  9. In summary, the results management process by the CNE did not comply with the basic measures of transparency and integrity that are essential for the conduct of credible elections. It also did not follow national legal and regulatory provisions, and all established deadlines were missed. In the Panel's experience, announcing the result of an election without publishing its details or disclosing tabulated results to candidates is unprecedented in contemporary democratic elections. This had a negative impact on confidence in the result announced by the CNE among a large part of the Venezuelan electorate.
  10. On July 31, 2024, President Maduro filed a contentious electoral appeal before the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, apparently seeking a review of the process and verification of the results. On August 6, 2024, the Electoral Chamber confirmed that it had received the results protocols and other requested documentation from the CNE. He announced that he will proceed with an expert assessment process of the documentation presented by the CNE. There is no detailed information available to date on how this evaluation will be carried out.
  11. Although figures from national sources vary and the Panel made no attempt to verify their accuracy, the Panel took note of reports stating that more than 20 people were killed, including one soldier, and that more than 1,000 people were detained between July 29 and August 2, 2024 as a result of protests following the announcement of the results. The reported numbers have continued to increase. The Panel also received reports of threats and intimidation against political party agents and polling station officials.
  12. The Venezuelan authorities cooperated and supported the deployment of the Panel. The Panel was able to interact with a wide range of interlocutors and followed the main stages of the electoral process. The Panel also maintained constructive dialogue and positive exchanges with the CNE until the polls closed on July 28. After that moment, the Panel, unfortunately, and despite a request sent by note verbale, was not able to meet with the CNE Board of Directors before its departure.

reply
Yes, most people transact in dollars, even locals have their prices in dollars. In Tachira, on the border with Colombia, transactions are made in pesos and dollars. There is a place in Venezuela where they transact in gold #650515. However, that does not prevent the regime from continuing to print bills. Bolivars are worth less every day, you need a lot of bills to buy even bread.

I wonder how much the U.S. will lean into to support the proper victor. The thing is, how can we uphold worldwide election integrity where we can't even do so in our own country?
reply
In our country, electoral fraud occurred several times, but it was not until July 28 that we were able to demonstrate with evidence that we really won. It was a job of great organization and unity, despite the fact that they placed obstacles for the opposition to run. It was a campaign with a lot of disadvantages for us and even so we succeeded. The voting centers were guarded by the citizens themselves, there were witnesses, the minutes were printed before the military took them away and they were able to be scanned to publish them on a public website where we could all see the results. People also recorded when they gave the total results for each voting center. It was a glorious day. Something like this had never happened in Venezuela. The results were 75% Edmundo González and 25% Nicolás Maduro, not to mention that they did not allow approximately 3 million people to register within Venezuela and 5 million abroad, otherwise the results would be 90/10. The United States is a much larger country. Do you think they can do something like that? We, on the other hand, will continue to defend our votes.
