Last week, five political organizations issued a joint statement to support the continuity of the interim government until free and fair elections are held in Venezuela. Popular Will (Voluntad Popular, VP) and minority opposition parties Venezuela Project (Proyecto Venezuela, PV), R Cause (La Causa R), Citizen Meeting (Encuentro Ciudadano, EC), and the Social Christian Party (Partido Social Cristiano, COPEI) support the preservation of the management of the National Assembly elected in 2015 (2015AN) as the last legitimately elected power in the country and, based on Article 233 of the Constitution, and justify its continuity “until it is replaced by another [institution] validly elected.” However a Bloomberg news last previously mentioned that three out of four principal opposition parties, as well as some members of Guaido’s own Popular Will party, oppose the idea of an extension of the mandate of Juan Guaido. However Juan Guaidó said last Wednesday that he will not leave his position as interim president until he achieves free elections, since he does not plan to "deliver to Maduro" the Republic. With regards to the regional elections, last week the European Union Electoral Observation Mission for the 21-November elections said will present two reports on the process, and the first will be two days after the regional and local elections, the second during the first two months of 2022. Also last week, a three-member Panel of Electoral Experts, sent by the UN, arrived in Venezuela and began a deployment in the country. It was announced a few weeks ago and will carry out an independent and technical evaluation of the electoral system in the context of the regional and municipal elections on November 21. |
