Caracas, August 4 (RHC)-- The Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yvan Gil, has denounced the role that the U.S. news agency Asociated Press is trying to play, as part of the far-right-led campaign to ignore the official election results of last Sunday’s elections.

In a message posted on his X-Net account, the head of Venezuelan diplomacy described AP as an instrument to promote destabilization in the region.   “Now it assumes a bizarre role in the coup d’état: to be the ‘CNE’ validator of the biggest scam and hoax known in the political history of Venezuela.  Clowns!"

The Minister of Communications and Information, Freddy Ñañez, also criticized AP’s attitude.  He wrote:  "It is eager to take over the responsibilities of the National Electoral Council in the South American nation."

Freddy Ñañez confirmed that this position responds to “the caricature of a country that the extreme right wants to sell where there is no sovereignty, institutions and laws.”

Prior to these statements, the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, presented evidence of the fraud carried out by the extreme right using forged minutes as an argument.

Jorge Rodríguez also announced the results of the review of data published on the website. After the analysis, they detected 9,468 records, without the machine operator’s signature or the members of tables or witnesses.
