🇭🇺🚫🇪🇺📃❌🇻🇪 — 🇺🇸 Politico: Hungary blocks EU bid for unified statement on Venezuela election
The EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell cited claims the presidential ballot was ‘marred by numerous flaws and irregularities.’

The EU failed to put on a united front on Venezuela’s contested election after Hungary vetoed a statement that expressed concern about alleged “flaws and irregularities” in the voting and called for greater transparency.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner of the country’s July 28 presidential election by a government-controlled electoral body, which gave him about 51 percent of votes to 44 percent for his opponent, Edmundo González Urrutia. However, the government failed to explain how those results had been calculated and verified.

EU countries wanted to adopt a joint statement raising concerns about the result on Monday but were prevented by Budapest’s stance, two officials familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

🌎🇻🇪🗳 G7 Foreign Ministers’ Statement on Venezuela

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.

🇦🇷🥇⁉️The mystery of Argentina’s gold: Milei admits that it was transferred abroad, without specifying the quantities or destination

While the government acknowledges that gold reserves have been sent outside the country, there’s no official information available regarding the purpose of the operation. The gold is now exposed to the risk of being seized, due to long-standing claims against Argentina made by foreign creditors

Argentina’s reserves, held by its Central Bank, include almost two million troy ounces of gold, valued at about $4.5 billion. But lately, there’s a question that’s on everybody’s lips: where is it? Was it taken out of the country? Did some of it remain within Argentina, while the rest was transferred abroad? Well, the official information only offers partial answers.

📃❌🇻🇪⁉️🗳 — 🇪🇸 Foro Madri: Signed declaration in response to the massive fraud perpetrated on June 28 by the Nicolás Maduro regime

❝The undersigned, parliamentarians and public officials from numerous Latin American and European countries, will not under any circumstances legitimize the results of July 28, proclaimed by the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela, because they are the product of massive fraud.

Fraud has been a common practice of the Chavista narco-dictatorship since the recall referendum in 2004. Therefore, it is not the first time that it has disobeyed the popular mandate expressed at the polls to seize power again.

The Venezuelan people in the streets, serious polls and other incontrovertible evidence indicate that the undisputed winner is Edmundo González Urrutia, president-elect of Venezuela.❞
