OAS TO OBSERVE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN VENEZUELA
October 25, 2006
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, said today during a press conference in Caracas, Venezuela, that talks held with the National Electoral Council, Venezuela’s highest electoral body, were successful in finalizing details to send an OAS Electoral Observation Mission for the December 3 presidential elections.
The terms for monitoring the elections meet the requirements of the upcoming electoral process in Venezuela and are in accordance with that country’s legal framework, Insulza said. He also announced that former Ambassador of Uruguay to the OAS Juan Enrique Fischer will be his personal representative to head the Electoral Observation Mission. The next step, Insulza said, is to designate the rest of the team and coordinate its arrival in Venezuela.
The Secretary General emphasized that the OAS does not intend to be a protagonist in the process, adding that such a role belongs to the Venezuelan authorities and to the people themselves who will go to the polls. He stressed that the OAS monitors will observe the development of the process with full access to information and that his personal representative will be the only one who will make public statements, as he deems necessary.
Expressing satisfaction with the agreement reached with the National Electoral Council authorities, Insulza stated that the OAS intends to collaborate with the Venezuelan government in its effort to carry out the presidential elections in a normal, transparent manner. The Secretary General said he is convinced that the next elections will follow the same course of other electoral processes that have taken place in Latin America this year. He noted that with the upcoming Venezuelan elections, this year 13 presidential elections will have been monitored in the region, including several with second-round runoffs, and all have taken place within the norms required under a democratic system.
Insulza was received this afternoon by President Hugo Chávez. Earlier in the day he met with Vice President José Vicente Rangel and Venezuela’s Vice Minister for North America, Jorge Valero, as well as with opposition candidate Manuel Rosales.
