Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jim Risch (R-ID) released the following statement on the European Union’s (EU) decision to deploy an election observation mission to Venezuela for the regional and local elections scheduled for November 21:
“We are deeply concerned about the EU’s decision to send a mission to observe the fraudulent regional and local elections planned by the Maduro narco-dictatorship in November. The regime continues to use the same tools and methods to commit egregious human rights abuses as it has since 2014, which UN-appointed investigators have determined to be “crimes against humanity.” It is no secret that the National Electoral Council, which will once again oversee the regime’s sham elections, was created through an illegitimate and manipulated process. By sending an observation mission to Venezuela, the EU is giving international credibility to the corrupt Maduro regime and will only prolong its authoritarian grip on the people of Venezuela.
“All who are genuinely concerned about the freedom and welfare of Venezuelans must stand firm in their support of interim President Guaidó and the National Assembly, both of which were democratically elected in 2015 to resolve Venezuela’s crisis through legitimate, free, and fair presidential and legislative elections.”
Rubio is the Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
Risch is the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
RUBIO, RISCH: LA UE NO DEBE AYUDAR A MADURO ENVIANDO UNA MISIÓN DE OBSERVACIÓN ELECTORAL A VENEZUELA
Washington, D.C. — Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Jim Risch (R-ID) emitieron el siguiente comunicado tras la decisión de la Unión Europea (UE) de desplegar una misión de observación electoral a Venezuela para las elecciones regionales y locales las cuales están programadas para el 21 de noviembre:
“Estamos profundamente preocupados por la decisión de la UE de enviar una misión para observar las fraudulentas elecciones regionales y locales por parte de la narco-dictadura de Maduro en noviembre. El régimen sigue utilizando las mismas tácticas y métodos para cometer atroces abusos contra los DD.HH., que desde el 2014 los investigadores designados por la ONU han determinado son “crímenes de lesa humanidad”. Para nadie es un secreto que el Consejo Nacional Electoral–que una vez más supervisará las falsas elecciones del régimen–fue creado mediante un proceso ilegítimo y manipulado. Al enviar una misión de observación a Venezuela, la UE está otorgando credibilidad internacional al régimen corrupto de Maduro y solo prolongará el control autoritario del dictador sobre el pueblo de Venezuela.
“Todos los que estén genuinamente preocupados por la libertad y el bienestar de los venezolanos deben mantenerse firmes en su apoyo al presidente interino Guaidó y a la Asamblea Nacional, quienes fueron electos democráticamente en el 2015 para resolver la crisis de Venezuela por medio de elecciones presidenciales y legislativas.”
Rubio es el Miembro de Más Alto Rango del Subcomité sobre Hemisferio Occidental, Crimen Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, DDHH y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
