The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and seven former presidential candidates signed, before the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, a document in which they signed an agreement in which they undertake, among other things, to submit to the highest court in the country all necessary precautions in order to advance the attention of the contentious electoral appeal, filed by the Head of State, to review the results of the elections of last July 28.

This text was signed by opponents Claudio Fermín, Daniel Ceballos, Javier Bertucci, Antonio Ecarri, Benjamín Rausseo and José Brito.

Meanwhile, former candidate Enrique Marquez refused to sign and the leader of the violent extreme right, Edmundo González Urrutia, did not appear before the summons made by the Supreme Court.

In statements made after the event, the eight former candidates agreed on the need for the National Electoral Council, despite the computer attacks that its systems have suffered, to publish the detailed results of the elections.

In this regard, the candidate Antonio Ecarri assured that his demand is due to the fact that delays “harm people”. “It's very tasty from a square in Madrid to be threatening violence or sanctions. Here the only people affected by that are not the politicians, it's the people,” he stressed.

For his part, the opponent José Brito, stressed that this contentious electoral recourse will force those violent groups that have sung fraud to present evidence about the serious accusations they have made about the electoral system.

“I regret that the candidate Edmundo González Urrutia did not appear here today. This confirms my suspicions that there has never been an electoral plan for any sector that participated in this process. On the contrary, there has been an insurrectionary plan,” he emphasized.
