Venezuela bars EU observers from presidential election
Venezuela on Wednesday said it uninvited the EU Observer Mission from its presidential election in July, calling for sanctions to be lifted.
The Head of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, Elvis Amoroso, demanded that the EU proceed with the total lifting of the unilateral and genocidal coercive sanctions imposed on our people.
He also urged that there was a need to cease its hostile position against Venezuela.
Mr Amoroso said that EU representatives were not welcome in the South American country.
The CNE had taken this decision on the basis of its sovereignty and taking into account the incalculable financial damage caused to people by the sanctions.
In addition, these punitive measures affected the health of children and the elderly, he said.
