Caracas, June 5 (RHC)-- The president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, denounced this Tuesday at a press conference the existence of an international media campaign to ignore the electoral processes, in reference to the recently completed elections in Mexico.

“That started with the start of the electoral campaign in Mexico. The right has that characteristic. "Take that lie and since they have communication and psychological warfare errors, they dedicate themselves to trying to impose matrices like these, through thousands and thousands of bots that they had hired for the right-wing candidacy," he specified, while attacking the right-wing media for constructing parallel and non-existent truths.

The top Venezuelan legislator said that platforms, pollsters and social networks of the Mexican right, together with the Spanish media, echoed that the people of Mexico had been victims of a mega electoral fraud, in order to urge citizens to challenge the results.

On the other hand, Jorge Rodríguez showed the opinion matrices that have been built against the elected president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, since the beginning of the campaign, associated with her nationality, her family life, and slander about alleged links with drug traffickers.

“This is a setup, a scheme to deceive but not gratuitously or innocently but to intentionally destabilize.  They are the real fraud and all the inventions that are made by the media."

By illustrating these opinion matrices that the right constructs to generate a negative image of the left's presidential candidates, Rodriguez demonstrated similarities with the way the Venezuelan right operates.

“How many times have they affected us with the same thing?  When the greatest impact that Venezuela's economy has had in its entire history was a consequence of the criminal sanctions requested by these people, who are now coming out to ask for the vote?”

Jorge Rodriguez said that we should ask ourselves who defended Venezuela's economy when coercive and unilateral sanctions were imposed, so that all Venezuelans could rebuild and enjoy prosperity after the serious economic crisis?

"It is happening that even representatives of supposed consulting firms, who are nothing more than right-wing extremists, are beginning to say that Maduro cannot be underestimated," and he explained that the same right-wing pollsters, when they affirm that the Venezuelan president rose ten popularity points in a period of ten days, they recognize that the trend of the curve is increasing, approaching its electoral ceiling.

The general coordinator of the Venezuela Nuestra campaign command also warned the extreme right that the violation of Venezuelan peace will not be allowed before, during or after the elections on July 28th.

"We are not going to allow it even a little bit like that.  Whoever violates the peace of the republic before, during or after the elections, has to go to jail.  Here we are going to peaceful elections," he stressed.

In that sense, he urged the extreme right to commit to recognizing the results.  "We are going to recognize the results because we know what the truth is and you also know it and at this point you don't know what to do," he said.

Rodríguez also specified that if the right loses on July 28th, they will not only denounce an alleged fraud, but they will try to call for the destabilization of the country.

Regarding the electoral campaign in Venezuela this year, he indicated that although many opposition candidates carry out their campaign, those of the extreme right do not, and recalled how in 2004, the media joined in building a matrix of fraud in Venezuela, by announcing that the opposition had rejected the official figures.

Likewise, he explained how in 2006, candidate Manuel Rosales almost recognized the electoral results after having committed to do so during the campaign period, but was removed from the stand.   While in the 2013 elections, after learning of the victory of the Bolivarian Revolution, the opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski did not recognize his had lost, contested the elections and urged Venezuelans to take to the streets, which left 11 Venezuelans dead in riots.

Rodríguez also said that in 2018, the opposition candidate Henri Falcón was unaware of the electoral process, and in this regard, he reflexively asked what difference there is between the electoral system of 2018 and that of 2024.

"They are the same voting machines.  It is the same voting system.  It is the same fingerprint capture system.  It is the same voting software.  They are the same audits of the voting system," he stated.

The leader of the Venezuelan National Assembly also warned that this year there will be "no contemplations because there are thousands of Venezuelans who must be taken care of."
