The regime’s propaganda apparatus placed Zapatero as an “international observer”, as well as Coin purse, who did not participate in the personal meeting but was present in the front row, along with the former Colombian senator Piedad Cordoba, during Maduro’s subsequent meeting with his guests. The president took advantage of the closeness of his allies to raise the tone in a threatening way.

Both the European Union and the United Nations have sent observers to the elections, but their return does not stop bothering the Bolivarian power, fearful of the verdict of his officials. “The EU must respect the legitimacy of the powers of Venezuela in the electoral process.
