Venezuela’s election results, July 2024: G7 Foreign Ministers’ statement
In a joint statement, G7 Foreign Ministers call on Venezuela to publish transparent election results.
Statement from the G7 Foreign Ministers:
We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the EU, express our solidarity with the people of Venezuela, who peacefully exercised their right to vote in large numbers on July 28 to shape the future of their country.
Independent domestic and international observers’ reports have raised serious concerns about the announced results of Venezuela’s Presidential elections and about the way the electoral process was conducted, especially regarding the irregularities and lack of transparency in the final tabulation of the votes. It is of paramount importance that the result reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.
We call on relevant representatives to publish the detailed electoral results in full transparency and we ask electoral representatives to immediately share all information with the opposition and independent observers.
As the process unfolds, we call for maximum restraint in the country and for a peaceful, democratic and Venezuelan-led solution.
