Venezuelan Government Releases “Evidence” that Opposition is Planning to
not Recognise Election Results

Cabello presenting the “evidence” on public television this morning (VTV)

Merida, April 10th 2013 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – This morning United
Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) leader Diosdado Cabello presented
evidence, including phone recordings, documents, and emails, allegedly
proving that the opposition has plans to not recognise the 14 April
presidential election results.

Cabello played an audio recording of a phone conversation to the public in
which Joao Nunes, Capriles’ bodyguard and driver, said that Capriles won’t
recognise Sunday’s results if he loses.

In the recorded conversation, which lasts just over a minute, Nunes talks
with another person, “Michell”, who says “It’s looking to be full on, man”.
Nunes responds, “Man, they’re going to rob it from them in the streets...”.
Michell then says, “Looking at it from here, here what they are saying is
that he’s not going to recognise [the elections] if he loses... there’s
going to be problems, full on problems”.

Cabello also showed an email allegedly sent from Amando Briquet, of
Capriles’ campaign team, to Guillermo Salas, member of the organisation
Esdata. Esdata <http://esdata.info/> has reported on Venezuela’s electoral
process since Chavez was elected in 1998, and claims there are “statistical
irregularities” by the National Electoral Council (CNE) which “violate the
right to elect”.

In the alleged email, dated 6 April this year, Briquet wrote, “...we need
everything set out in Washington for checking over by the [Capriles
campaign]. It's necessary that all documentation is presented
internationally if we decide to take the road of not recognizing the
results."

Cabello said opposition umbrella group MUD’s secretary, Ramon Aveledo, was
involved and that he had requested documentation from Salas “in order to be
able to support their decision not to recognise the results”.

Further, Cabello denounced an alleged meeting between the head of private,
opposition supporting newspaper, El Nacional, Miguel Otero, with Capriles
and Briquet. Cabello accused the three men of meeting in order to “discuss
not recognising the elections”.

Finally, Cabello said an organisation called Patriotic Board (Junta
Patrotica), which includes Guillermo Salas, signed a document which they
sent on 7 April to Vicente Diaz. Diaz is a CNE director known to side more
with the opposition. In the document the Patriotic Board allegedly
expressed its decision to not recognise the CNE’s reports.

Cabello told press he’d made the information public in “order to guarantee
peace; this is a ...warning so that they know we know what they are
planning to do”.

Public prosecutor Luisa Ortega also verified that seventeen people have
been detained in Sucre, Monagas, and Aragua states for sabotaging the
electrical system. Blackouts have been more common over the last two weeks
across Venezuela.

“A small group has been sabotaging the electricity system, and that’s why
there have been some power outs, but they aren’t the part of the majority
of the people, because the people don’t want destabilisation, they want
peace,” Ortega said. She informed that the crime of sabotaging the
electricity grid is punishable by up to 30 years prison.

According to Wilmer Barrientos, head of strategic command of the National
Bolivarian Armed Forces, the seventeen people detained were “caught
red-handed” damaging electricity facilities.

In Merida this afternoon, opposition supporters, after a large rally where
Capriles spoke, committed various acts of violence in the city. Some of the
perpetrators were drunk, and some wore balaclavas, making it likely they
were part of the violent Movement 13 group based on Merida's University of
Los Andes. They attacked the offices of the goverment youth, INJUVEM, of
public radio YVKE Mundial, the state government building and its workers,
and various privately owned shops in the centre of the city. The number of
injuries is as yet unknown, and the national guard have calmed the
situation.

Other events over the last few days have also pointed towards an opposition
strategy of destabilisation and not recognising Venezuela’s electoral power.

Yesterday Capriles refused to sign a CNE document of commitment to
recognise the election results, instead signing his own document. There he
committed to “respect the will of the people” but attacked the CNE for
supposedly being “negligent” and “biased” towards the government, and
Maduro’s campaign for supposedly “taking advantage of the poor” and using
public media.

On Monday, there was some violence and some people were injured, in an
upper class suburb of Caracas. According to reports by residents of the
area, it now appears that Maduro supporters were attacked by the opposition
group JAVU, which then went to the press and blamed “Castro-communists” for
the violence.

On Saturday government officials also released a recorded conversation that
allegedly reveals the use of “mercenaries” by the Venezuelan opposition to
create chaos in the lead up to the elections.

Maduro alleged that the “mercenaries” were already in Venezuela and had
three objectives: to sabotage the electrical grid, increase the number of
murders, and assassinate Maduro. He alleged that they were coordinated by
the Central American right wing, with some sectors of the opposition. He
said his information was based on conversations recorded by Venezuela’s
intelligence organisations.

Foreign minister Elias Jaua claimed the “mercenaries” are led by a retired
colonel of the Salvadoran armed forces, David Koch, and coordinated by
Salvadoran right-wing politician Roberto d Áubuisson.

Yesterday Maduro released a

one of the supposed mercenaries, Julio Cornejo, and asked the Venezuelan
public to inform authorities if they see him.
