On Tuesday, July 23, the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) denounced the failures in the accreditation of electoral witnesses for the elections of July 28.
Kimberly Cheatle, director of the US Secret Service, has resigned amid criticism over the attempted assassination of Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has kept the city of Coro, Falcón state, on its risk list.
In international news, former Argentine President Alberto Fernández announced that he will visit Venezuela for the presidential elections to be held on Sunday, July 28.
Below are the most important news from Tuesday, July 23:
1. PUD reported problems in the mass accreditation of electoral witnesses
On Tuesday, July 23, the PUD denounced “obstacles” in the system of the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela for the mass accreditation of witnesses, who will monitor the vote in the presidential elections next Sunday.
Delsa Solórzano indicated in a video shared on X that the CNE has implemented “different mechanisms” in the automated system to slow down the accreditation of 100% of the witnesses.
“We have not been able to make progress in the mass accreditation of witnesses due to a system that, it seems, is designed to slow down the process,” said Solórzano in the company of anti-Chavez supporters Juan Carlos Caldera, leader of the Primero Justicia party, and Perkins Rocha, campaign advisor for the PUD.
Solórzano explained that “accrediting the PUD witnesses one by one” given the enormous volume “is practically impossible,” so he asked the CNE to “resolve the technical problem.”
Alberto Fernández, former president of Argentina, said he will visit Venezuela after being invited by the authorities to observe the presidential elections on Sunday, July 28.
Fernández added that he will bring forward the date of his arrival in the country in order to have time to listen to the concerns of opposition sectors regarding the elections.
“What I want is for there to be a transparent election. What Venezuela needs is to recover its democratic coexistence. Those who are wandering around the world, because they left the country for whatever reason, can return,” said the former president in an interview with the Argentine radio station Radio Con Voz on July 23.
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned on July 23 amid criticism over security lapses at a July 12 political rally in Butler where Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was shot and wounded.
According to sources cited by the NBC television network, the official’s resignation came after several US lawmakers asked her to leave her post.
Cheatle appeared before a House committee on July 22 and said the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was the agency’s “biggest operational failure” “in decades.”
Representatives of organizations opposed to the government of Nicolás Maduro denounced on Tuesday, July 23, that Venezuelans in Madrid (Spain) still do not have information about where they will be able to vote in the presidential elections on July 28.
Dozens of Venezuelans gathered outside the Venezuelan Consulate in Madrid on July 23 to demand information about the voting process.
María Gabriela Olavarría, a member of the opposition’s Command with Venezuela in Spain, assured the media that they received a call from the Consulate to meet in the next few hours to learn details of how the electoral process will be carried out in the Spanish capital.
5. UNESCO keeps the city of Coro on its risk list
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee agreed on Tuesday, July 23, to keep the city of Coro (Falcón) and its port, among others, on the list of heritage in danger, leaving new additions to be discussed, such as the megalith of Stonehenge.
The debate, held in New Delhi, India, which hosted the 46th annual UNESCO meeting on the state of conservation of sites already inscribed on the list of at-risk sites, focused on the historic centre of the Austrian capital.
“We will show all members that being on the endangered list is not a punishment,” the organization’s spokesman said.
The town of Coro and its port, seen by UNESCO as a surviving example of the fusion of local traditions with Spanish Mudejar and Dutch architectural techniques, were added to the list of properties in danger in 2005 after the damage to their structures caused by heavy rains.
