This happens in the context of the appearances of former presidential candidates and representatives of political organizations ordered by the Supreme Court for the purpose of an exhaustive investigation of the presidential elections held on July 28.
The Bolivarian leader arrived accompanied by the first lady Cilia Flores, the Venezuelan vice president Delcy Rodriguez, and other high-level officials.
In the vicinity of the Court’s headquarters in Caracas, hundreds of workers, students and social activists were waiting for President Maduro, who was cheered as he passed.
A few minutes earlier, the vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, and other representatives of the Great Patriotic Pole also entered the Electoral Chamber.
Last week, the Venezuelan president formally asked the Supreme Court to conduct thorough investigations into the 2024 elections to dispel the narratives of alleged fraud that the Venezuelan far right opposition and its international allies have been spreading.
In addition to Nicolas Maduro, the Judges subpoenaed nine former presidential candidates: Luis Martinez, Daniel Ceballos, Antonio Ecarri, Benjamin Rausseo, Enrique Marquez, Jose Brito, Javier Bertucci, Claudio Fermin, and Edmundo Gonzalez.
Despite being required to appear before the authority, far-right politician Gonzalez did not attend the Electoral Chamber on Wednesday. The representatives of the political parties supporting him also did not submit any records or evidence of the alleged electoral fraud or of his supposed victory.
