The opposition party La Causa R assured this Monday that Venezuela needs a electoral schedule clear in the shortest time possible that satisfies the citizens’ aspiration for change.
“Our objective is clear: free and verifiable presidential elections, to achieve the true democratic transition“, noted the training in a release published in X.
Likewise, he indicated that it is necessary to respect popular sovereignty, as well as clean up the National Electoral Council (CNE), currently made up of rectors sympathetic to Chavismo.
“According to the way things are going, our need for freedom and democracy cannot continue to be postponed,” he added.
Conditions to achieve the transition, according to La Causa R
Cause R considers that a transition implies the recovery of legal security, the rule of law, inalienable respect for human rights, independent institutions, reconciliation, reunion, justice, truth and peace.
On Sunday, the largest opposition coalition in Venezuela, grouped in the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), presented a roadmap to hold free elections that involves the appointment of new CNE authorities and achieving a transition in the country.
In a press conference, the general secretary of the PUD, Roberto Enríquez, indicated that the transition plan has three stages: stabilization, economic recovery and reconciliation, as well as the holding of elections.
Enríquez proposed the appointment of a provisional, independent CNE, with “guarantees of transparency, balance and professionalism of the electoral referee”, the full restitution of political rights and the lifting of all political disqualifications imposed without due process.
The PUD reiterated its claim about the 2024 presidential elections, in which it claims that Nicolás Maduro was defeated by Edmundo González Urrutia, who is in exile in Spain.
After the United States captured Maduro, Delcy Rodríguez took over as interim president and has reestablished relations with the North American country.
