Position – Government prepares response to Diosdado statements

Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas yesterday rejected the statements made by the president of the Constituent Assembly of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, who accused the Dominican Government of ordering the suspension of municipal elections in the country, because the results did not favor them.

Vargas called these accusations “extremists, unfortunate and disrespectful.”

However, the official said that later the Dominican Government will establish an official position before these pronouncements.

Vargas spoke during an act of support for his candidates from the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) at the Hotel El Embajador.

“The candidates can count on our political and economic support,” said the foreign minister, after assuring that he did not agree that the elections be suspended.

Daniel Ozuna spoke, mayor candidate for Boca Chica; María Ortiz, mayor in Salcedo; Yunior Santos, current mayor Los Alcarrizos; Estela Ozuna, candidate of La Romana; Samuel Toribio, deputy and mayor candidate for Guayubin municipality.

The first Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Psuv), Diosdado Cabello, criticized the suspension of municipal elections in the Dominican Republic, a fact he attributed to the Government of this country, and those he described as “lackeys” of the United States.

“Yesterday there were elections in the Dominican Republic, they deployed the tables, the centers and suddenly in the act they were suspended the elections in the Dominican Republic. Who can suspend an election? Who is losing, the government in this case, the allies of the States United (…) imagine that happens in Venezuela How will the world’s media be? Oh no, but right now they say nothing because those are allies of the United States, the lackeys of the United States, “said Cabello, second man of Chavismo, in Venezuelan national television.

Cabello Rondón is a Venezuelan politician and military officer, who occupies the role of the National Constituent Assembly of Venezuela, and an active critic of the United States and its actions in Latin America.

“When they see what is coming, they have no choice but to say that they are not fit, we know that,” said Cabello.

The municipal elections of the Dominican Republic were suspended last Sunday, hours after the process began, after technical failures occurred in at least 50 percent of the centers where the automated voting system would be used, as reported by the Central Electoral Board (JCE ).

A day later, the full electoral body announced that they were postponed to March 15.

The first sign of trouble occurred on Saturday night, when the president of the JCE, Julio César Castaños Guzmán, met with national and international observers and party delegates, before a complaint regarding automated voting equipment. The uncertainty about the future of the elections ended at 11:11 a.m. on Sunday with the suspension.
