President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized, “Our foreign policy is clearly defined in the Constitution, which upholds the self-determination of peoples. While Colombia, Brazil, and the United States have their respective positions, ours is rooted in constitutional principles” during her morning conference.
She further noted that following the Venezuelan elections, there was an initial call from Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico for transparency in the electoral results. “Moving forward, we will adopt an impartial stance on this matter,” she added.
On August 7, the foreign ministers of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico convened virtually to discuss the necessity for the National Electoral Council of Venezuela (CNE) to provide detailed election results broken down by polling station.
They acknowledged the ongoing legal proceedings before Venezuela’s Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) concerning the electoral process and affirmed that the CNE holds a legal mandate to transparently disclose election results.
