The GUE/NGL denounces the putschist attitude of the opposition and its candidate. All international organisations must support the free and sovereign decision of the Venezuelan people. It is not the first time that the Venezuelan right has breached democratic norms to destabilise the democratic will of Venezuelans. Opposition groups have unleashed a wave of violence, burning public health centres and assaulting the employees of the National Electoral Council. These actions have caused several deaths, in a scenario similar to the lead up to the 2002 coup against democratic constitutionality. The Chairperson of the National Electoral Council, Tibisay Lucena, declared Maduro the winner with 7,563,747 votes, 50.75% versus 48.97% for Capriles with a turnout of 78.71%. In fact, the very day of the election the Council proceeded with a manual check of 54% of the ballot boxes as part of the audit process. With the participation of witnesses from all political parties, this process indicated a 100% correlation between the recounted votes and the result of the automated system. Given the right's destabilising manoeuvres, the GUE/NGL reiterates its solidarity with the people of Venezuela, with President Nicolas Maduro and will denounce in all fora such attempts to destabilise, through putschist acts, the sovereign will of the people Venezuela yet again expressed at the ballot box. ---------------- *ES* *El GUE/NGL denuncia los intentos de desestabilizar la república bolivariana de Venezuela* El Grupo de la Izquierda Unitaria Europea/Izquierda Verde Nórdica en el Parlamento Europeo ha alertado sobre la campaña desestabilizadora mediante actos violentos instigados por el candidato opositor Capriles al no reconocer el resultado electoral que dio el triunfo a la candidatura de Nicolás Maduro en unas elecciones limpias y democráticas realizadas en un sistema electoral absolutamente confiable. El GUE/NGL denuncia el espíritu golpista de la oposición y de su candidato Capriles ante todos los organismos internacionales, que deben acompañar la decisión libre y soberana del pueblo de Venezuela. No es la primera vez que la derecha venezolana se sitúa fuera de las normas democráticas para intentar desestabilizar la voluntad democrática de las y los venezolanos. Grupos opositores han desatado una ola de violencia, incendiando centros de salud públicos y agrediendo a trabajadores del Consejo Nacional Electoral, acciones reprobables que han provocado varios muertos, en un escenario similar al previo al golpe de Estado de 2002 contra la constitucionalidad democrática, recordaron. La Presidenta del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE), Tibisay Lucena, proclamó como triunfador a Maduro con 7.563.747 votos, el 50,75 %, frente al 48,97 % del candidato Capriles con una participación del 78,71%. De hecho, el propio día de las elecciones el CNE procedió a una verificación manual del 54% de las urnas electorales como parte del proceso de auditoría, junto con técnicos y testigos de todos los partidos políticos que arrojó una coincidencia del 100% entre los comprobantes de voto escrutados y el resultado del sistema automatizado. Ante estas maniobras desestabilizadoras de la derecha, la Izquierda Unitaria Europea/Izquierda Verde Nórdica redoblará su solidaridad con el pueblo de Venezuela, con su Presidente Nicolás Maduro, y denunciará en todos los ámbitos posibles los intentos de desestabilizar mediante actos golpistas la voluntad soberana del pueblo venezolano expresada una vez más en las urnas.
