The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, through an official statement issued by the Foreign Minister, Yván Gil, rejected the statements of the Secretary of the United States, Anthony Blinken, questioning the Venezuelan Electoral Power.

Through his official account on the social network X, the Foreign Minister described the statements as “ridiculous”, in which he “intends to assume the role of the Venezuelan Electoral Power, demonstrating that the Government of the United States is at the forefront of the coup d'etat that is intended against Venezuela, promoting a violent agenda against the Venezuelan people and their institutions.”

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects the serious, and even more ridiculous, statements attributed to the Secretary of State of the United States Antony Blinken, in which it intends to assume the role of the Venezuelan Electoral Power, demonstrating that the Government of the United States is at the forefront of the coup that is intended against Venezuela, promoting a violent agenda against the Venezuelan people and its institutions.

Venezuela denounces, before the international community, governments and social movements of the world, this perverse maneuver, using lies and manipulation, through the great powers of global communication, including the use of social networks, trying to generate a false narrative that leads to street violence, carried out by criminal groups and fascist organizations, which have called themselves “commandos”, who have tried to cause terror in the civilian population and have attacked sensitive points in communities, under the fiction that it wants to impose itself, against the majority will of the Venezuelan people.

Venezuelan institutions, enshrined in the Bolivarian Constitution, have acted to preserve national and popular sovereignty. Venezuelan democracy is one of the most robust in the world, and no attempt to undermine it can achieve it. The Government of the United States has tried unsuccessfully, for 25 years, to overthrow the Bolivarian Government. They have not been able, nor will they be able to, all their attempts will succumb to the resolution of a people, who fight with dignity, day by day, building a path to progress, defeating aggressions and criminal sanctions.

The Venezuelan people spoke out, exercised their right and reiterated their unrenounceable path of sovereignty, peace and the construction of socialism to guarantee the greatest sum of happiness. Following the path outlined by Commander Hugo Chávez, the Venezuelan people will know how to face any challenge that comes from imperialism, since to paraphrase Liberator Simon Bolivar, “fortunately, a handful of free men and women have often been seen to overcome powerful empires.” We will win!.
