Moscoso celebrated that broad sectors of Venezuelan politics have decided to participate in this race, in which the people will be the ones who define and elect their representatives.

We celebrate this situation of transparency of the electoral system, he insisted, and pointed out that they will be open to “all candidates, to the dialogues and conversations” they deem, which will be “valid for our work and the CNE,” he said.

López, for his part, adhered to Moscoso’s words and meant that the Venezuelan electoral system is recognized in the world as one of the “firmest, safest and most transparent.”

He stressed that the current electoral system is “solid and respected by all institutions” and hoped that the Venezuelan people show up and vote, because “that is valuing democracy.
