Brazil and Colombia again claimed Venezuela to disseminate verifiable and detailed evidence of the self-proclaimed electoral victory of Nicolás Maduro, arguing that “the credibility of the electoral process” depends on it. The two governments do not break off the dialogue but clearly fail to recognize the victory of Nicolas MaduroChile, for its part, appreciated the insistence of both countries.
Colombia and Brazil did not join a regional declaration of eleven countries with the United States, demanding the immediate publication of the minutes due to suspicions of fraud in the election. The opposition, which compiled and published tens of thousands of vote counts, claims that its candidate Edmundo González won with 67% of the votes against Maduro’s 30%.
“As neighboring countries directly interested in the stability of Venezuela and the region, and witnesses of the Barbados Agreements, Brazil and Colombia maintain open their channels of communication with the parties and reiterate their willingness to facilitate understanding between them”said an official statement.
Regarding the Supreme Court ruling that granted Maduro the victory per se, Brasilia and Bogotá limited themselves to maintaining that they “take note and reiterate that they continue to await the publication by the National Electoral Council of the minutes broken down by voting section. And They recall the commitments made by the government and the opposition through the signing of the Barbados Agreements, whose spirit of transparency must be respected.”

The word of Chile
Chile, for its part, through Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren, stated that the country “values” the insistence of Brazil and Colombia to make the electoral records of the last presidential elections in Venezuela transparent, and stressed that it “condemns the violations of human rights, including the persecution unleashed against opposition leaders” reported in the Caribbean country.
“Anything that leads to knowing the true result of the elections manipulated by the regime in Venezuela is welcome. We value the recent declaration of Brazil and Colombia and their insistence on knowing the results broken down by voting table,” the Chilean Secretary of State posted on Saturday night through the social network X, adding that the country “hopes that a democratic transition can take place in that country.”
