Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia demand a detailed publication of the results in Venezuela.

The governments of Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil insisted this Thursday on the need for the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela to publish the detailed results by polling station of the elections held on July 28 and reiterated the call for respect for human rights.

After a virtual meeting on Wednesday, the foreign ministers of the three nations issued a second statement in response to the political crisis in Venezuela, triggered by the presidential elections where the official CNE declared Nicolás Maduro the winner, but the records presented by the opposition indicate that the opposition coalition represented by Edmundo González won.

In their statement, the governments of these countries insisted on the need for Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) to publish the results broken down by polling station and to disclose the electoral results in a detailed and transparent manner.

Despite the process initiated before the Supreme Court of Justice regarding the elections, the governments considered that the CNE is the legally responsible body for this task.

The ministers also emphasized the importance of allowing an impartial verification of the results, respecting popular sovereignty and the integrity of the electoral process. The statement also calls on the political and social actors in Venezuela to exercise moderation in their demonstrations and public events.

Additionally, they urged the country's security forces to ensure the full exercise of the democratic right to vote within the limits of the law and reiterated that respect for human rights must prevail in any circumstance.

The Government of the United States has shown its support for the mediation proposed by Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico, under the governments of Gustavo Petro, Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva, and Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the latter two being long-time allies of chavismo.

Mark Wells, in charge of the State Department for Latin America, assured that Washington supports the dialogue promoted by these three countries and maintains close coordination with them.

Wells emphasized that, after examining the evidence, it has been determined that it would be almost impossible to falsify the vote counts that were published after the voting by the opposition.

It also highlighted that the opposition and civil society have published more than 80% of the voting records, indicating that Edmundo González Urrutia, the opposition leader, would have obtained the majority of the votes by more than a 30 percentage point lead.
