The Minister of Communication and Information, Freddy Ñañez, also criticized AP’s attitude, In its eagerness to take over the responsibilities of the National Electoral Council in the South American nation.

La agencia @AP_Noticias siempre ha sido un instrumento para promover desestabilización en la región. Ahora asume un estrafalario papel en el Golpe de Estado: ser el “CNE” validador de la estafa y bufonada más grande conocida en la historia política de Venezuela. ¡Payasos! https://t.co/4UleD2TqHw

The agency @AP_Noticias
has always been an instrument to promote destabilization in the region. Now he assumes a bizarre role in the Coup d’état: being the “CNE” validator of the biggest scam and buffoonery known in the political history of Venezuela. Clowns!

In this regard, he confirmed that this position responds to “the caricature of a country that the extreme right wants to sell where there is no sovereignty, institutions and laws”.

Prior to these statements, the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, presented the day before evidence of the fraud carried out by the extreme right using forged minutes as an argument.

At a press conference held by President Nicolás Maduro in the Miraflores Palace, the member reported that the domain of the portal www.resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com was rented one day before the elections. This explains the attitude of Edmundo González and his team in not recognizing the bulletins issued by the CNE.

Jorge Rodríguez also announced the results of the review of data published on the website. After the analysis, they detected 9,468 records, without the machine operator’s signature or the members of tables or witnesses.
