“The governments of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico congratulate and express our solidarity with the Venezuelan people, who turned out en masse to vote on July 28 to define their own future.
We are closely monitoring the vote counting process and we call on the Venezuelan electoral authorities to move forward quickly and publicly release the data broken down by polling station.
Disputes over the electoral process must be resolved through institutional means. The fundamental principle of popular sovereignty must be respected through the impartial verification of the results.
In this context, we call on political and social actors to exercise maximum caution and restraint in their demonstrations and public events, in order to avoid an escalation of violent episodes.
Maintaining social peace and protecting human lives must be the priority concerns at this time.
Let this be an opportunity to express, once again, our absolute respect for the sovereign will of the Venezuelan people. We reiterate our willingness to support efforts to engage in dialogue and seek agreements that benefit the Venezuelan people.“
