Call for a global protest

CARACAS (EFE).— The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado called yesterday to participate next Saturday in a “worldwide protest” once morest the “electoral blockade” that, she denounced, the government imposes in her country, ahead of the presidential elections of the Next July 28.

In a message broadcast through in July a third consecutive term.

“Today we have to make the world listen to us, we have achieved very important support and we need to continue moving forward. We are not going to allow Nicolás Maduro to choose which candidate will face him, because we Venezuelans are the ones who have the right,” said the liberal.

He also asked migrants to go to the consulates to register in the electoral registry to be able to participate in the July elections, a process that has had delays in several countries, so he called on them to report any impediment.

“This Saturday, April 6, the world has to see that Venezuela united, firm, determined to advance along the route to freedom,” he added, without specifying the cities in which these protests will take place.

María Corina, elected in primaries as a candidate for the majority opposition, might not register to compete in the elections due to a sanction imposed by the Comptroller’s Office that prevents her from holding public office until 2036.

The former deputy proposed the philosopher Corina Yoris as her replacement and she was not admitted by the National Electoral Council (CNE), so it remains to be seen who María Corina will support for the elections.
