The Brazilian leader said that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro “is aware that he owes an explanation to the entire international community.”
The president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvainsisted on the need for Venezuelan authorities to publish the minutes of the July 28 elections. During an interview with Radio T, Lula expressed his concern that “so far” it is not known who won the elections. This is due to the lack of disclosure of the minutes, preventing an independent verification of the result.
Proposals to resolve the crisis
Lula suggested two possible solutions to the political crisis in VenezuelaHe proposed the formation of a coalition government that would include both members of the Chavistas and the opposition, or the calling of new elections. “Maduro has six months of mandate. If he has common sense, he could even call new elections, creating an electoral committee with members of the opposition and observers from around the world,” said Lula. He also indicated that he is collaborating with Mexico and Colombia to find a way out of the situation.
