The governments of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, we congratulate and express our solidarity with the Venezuelan people that went massively to the polls on July 28 to define their own future.
We continue with a lot of attention to the process of scrutiny of the votes, and we call on the electoral authorities of Venezuela to move forward expeditiously and give it to publicly available data disaggregated by voting table.
The disputes over the election process must be permitted by the institutional route. The fundamental principle of popular sovereignty should be respected by the unbiased check of the results.
In this context, we call on all political and social actors to exercise maximum caution and restraint in his demonstrations and public events in order to avoid an escalation of violent episodes.
Keep the social peace and protect human lives must be the priority concerns at this time.
This is the opportunity to express, once again, our absolute respect for the sovereignty of the will of the people of Venezuela. We reiterate our willingness to support the efforts of dialogue and the search for agreements that benefit the venezuelan people.
