In addition, during a television broadcast, the prosecutor said that by last night there had been 60 incidents during the electoral process and 17 arrests.
In this regard, he stated that the most recurrent cases were the destruction of electoral material, with 32 cases.
“This is an extremely small number if we consider that yesterday’s election took place in 15,797 polling stations, with 30,026 voting machines. The fact that there were these minimal incidents speaks well of the Venezuelan voter,” he explained.
Incidents at the polling station
Three citizens identified by the community were arrested for these events.
Meanwhile, in Trujillo, Aura Guerra, María Batista, Isaac Quevedo and Diego Urbina were arrested for trying to close the Electoral Center with chains and offending officials.
In Carabobo, Juan Rodríguez and Exar Castillo were arrested when they were inciting violence and assaulting security officials, he stressed.
Arrests in Caracas
Likewise, in Caracas, Douglas García and Jorge Salcedo were identified as the main leaders and those responsible for violent actions that took place at the Andrés Bello High School facilities, located on Mexico Avenue, in the La Candelaria parish of the Libertador municipality.
The Prosecutor also highlighted that in the capital it was learned that citizen Deivi Israel Correa Bracoviche, better known as “Deivi Correa” on various social networks, called for people to take to the streets to reject the election results.
