Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after yesterday’s sham municipal and regional elections in Venezuela. Earlier this year, Rubio penned an op-ed where he warned, “Maduro may be willing to present a series of symbolic gestures such as ‘concessions,’ but he will never voluntarily allow free and democratic elections to be held in Venezuela where he may lose his power and the money stolen from the Venezuelan people.”
“The people of Venezuela know the worst is expected when a narco-regime conducts and manipulates illegitimate elections with so-called ‘members of the opposition.’ Maduro will attempt to use this fraudulent process to initiate yet another round of negotiations — not with the interim government of Juan Guaidó, but with his chosen opposition. It is essential that the U.S. and the European Union reaffirm their unwavering support to recognize the legitimate democratically-elected National Assembly and Interim President Guaidó.”
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.

RUBIO: ESPERE LO PEOR CUANDO UN NARCO-RÉGIMEN CONVOCA A UNAS ELECCIONES ILEGÍTIMAS
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado después de los falsos comicios municipales y regionales de ayer en Venezuela. A principios de este año, Rubio escribió una columna de opinión para El Miami Herald donde resaltó: “Maduro puede estar dispuesto a presentar una serie de gestos simbólicos como ‘concesiones’, pero nunca voluntariamente va a permitir que se realicen elecciones libres y democráticas en Venezuela donde él pueda perder su poder y el dinero que le ha robado al pueblo venezolano”.
“El pueblo de Venezuela sabe que se espera lo peor cuando un narco-régimen lleva a cabo y manipula elecciones ilegítimas con los llamados ‘miembros de la oposición’. Maduro intentará utilizar este proceso fraudulento para iniciar otra ronda de negociaciones — no con el gobierno interino de Juan Guaidó sino con la oposición de su elección. Es esencial que EE.UU. y la Unión Europea reafirmen su apoyo inquebrantable de reconocer a la Asamblea Nacional electa legítima y democráticamente al igual que al presidente interino Guaidó”.
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.
