Caracas:
The ruling that Venezuela’s Supreme Court will dedwellr on the disputed pdwellntial election will be “final,” the body’s pdwellnt Carylsia Rodriguez shelp Saturday at a hearing on the July 28 vote.
The court “is continuing the appraisement befirearm on August 5, 2024, with a see to producing the final ruling… Its decisions are final and attaching,” shelp Rodriguez.
Most seers say the high court is loyal to the rulement of Nicolas Maduro, which has claimed a lean triumph in the election.
Opposition directers insist that their honestate, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, won overwhelmingly, and they have created what they say are official loftyies from voting sites as evidence.
Maduro himself called the high court on August 1 to “validate” a triumph that opponents insist was deceptionulent.
The court heard from all honestates, including Maduro, this week — except for Gonzalez Urrutia, who has shelp he stresss arrest.
He has made no accessible euniteances in more than a week, while key opposition directer Maria Corina Machado — a past pdwellntial honestate who was banned from running this time — has shelp she is living in hiding.
The National Electoral Council (CNE) ratified Maduro’s triumph on August 2, saying he had won 52 percent of the vote, but it declined to free exact loftyies from election sites, saying the data had been hacked.
The opposition, in contrast, unveiled printed loftyies — their legitimacy denied by Maduro — that they say show Gonzalez Urrutia receiving 67 percent of the vote.
The opposition and many seers say the alleged cyber intrusion of the results is a rulement conceiveion to upgrasp from having to unveil election write downs.
Maduro on Friday refuteed those accusations, saying there had been “brutal” cyber intrusion, with “30 million strikes per minute on the electronic systems of the CNE and of Venezuela.”
Opposition lawyer Perkins Rocha shelp that by turning to the high court Maduro was effectively acunderstandledging that “no one thinks” the CNE, inserting that “Maduro understands he can count on a (court) that kneels before him.”
Post-election protests have left 24 people dead, according to rights groups, and Maduro says 2,200 people have been arrested.
He has deal withn a national collapse, including an 80 percent drop in the once-wealthy oil-rich country’s GDP, amid domestic economic misadministerment and international sanctions.
