Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, former vice president of Argentina, requested on Saturday that all electoral records from the recent elections in Venezuela be published, invoking the legacy of Hugo Chávez.
During a speech titled "A Utopia from the South" given in Mexico City, where she was invited by the ruling party "Morena," Fernández emphasized the importance of electoral transparency in the South American country.
"I ask for the very legacy of Chávez that the minutes be published," he demanded, referring to the deceased Venezuelan leader.
He said that "I share the statement" from Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia; who together asked the electoral authorities of Venezuela to proceed "expeditiously" and make public the detailed data from the polling stations of the presidential elections.
The former Argentine president, who was close to Chávez and a faithful ally of the Cuban regime, emphasized that the publication of the electoral records is crucial to maintaining the credibility of the democratic process in Venezuela.
Accompanied by a delegation of four Kirchnerist leaders, she arrived in Mexico on Friday to share her "proposals for the future of the region."
In his speech, he addressed the complex political situation in Venezuela, calling for a more balanced perspective on the country.
"In Venezuela, there are neither devils nor angels," he expressed, before reviewing the last years of Chavismo, highlighting that Venezuela has the largest conventional oil reserves in the world.
He also recalled the coup d'état of 2012, when Hugo Chávez was briefly overthrown and Pedro Carmona assumed the presidency for two days, with the recognition of the United States.
His intervention comes at a time of high tension and political controversy in the country, where numerous allegations of electoral fraud have been raised, and the opposition claims that it won by more than 30 points over the current president, Nicolás Maduro.
The international community and human rights observers will be attentive to any response from the Venezuelan government and to potential developments in the coming days.
