Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil rejected the fake news pandered by an alleged mission from Colombia that divulged data from last Sunday’s presidential elections.
“This is a fake, so-called mission that has not even come to Venezuela, that uses fake data, and has been proven to be a scam through evidence,” Gil wrote on social media.
Esto es un Fake, una fulana misión que no ha venido a Venezuela, que usa datos falsos, de los que ya se mostraron pruebas que son una estafa. Esa misión es una estafa más https://t.co/QDU9gGAPTY

On the other hand, Vice Minister Yuri Pimentel pointed out that the Electoral Observation Mission (MOE) is financed by the US organization National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which is identified by newspapers, academics and critics as akin to a second Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); and is accused of promoting coups d’état throughout the world.
Financiados por la NED (es decir la CIA), qué más se podía esperar!? https://t.co/hXuystI2d9 pic.twitter.com/WzhzxqbqVC

Recently, the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, exposed fraud by the extremist sector of the right-wing that ignored the results of the National Electoral Council (CNE) by publishing manipulated and forged voting records on a website.
During a press conference in Miraflores Palace, Caracas, Deputy Rodríguez referenced the website portal, www.resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com, a domain that was rented a day before the elections on July 27 which showed that neither the candidate Edmundo González, María Corina Machado, nor the political team that accompanies them, were going to recognize the bulletins issued by the CNE.
After a thorough review of what was published there, Rodriguez said that 9,468 voting records were detected, less than one third of the total, which he did not want to call voting records due to the serious inconsistencies a group of experts found. Many of these alleged voting records do not have the signature of the machine operator, nor of members of tables and witnesses, among several other irregularities
Others were forged and some were not voting records but the zero record that the machine issues at the beginning of the voting. Rodriguez also showed signatures of voting records with clear evidence of being forged.
Rodríguez claimed that this fraud was set up by the company Súmate, which included participation abroad from Yoi Goicochea, Lester Toledo and Carlos Vecchio.
