Asunción, Agencia IP.- The Presidency of the Republic issued a statement expressing its concern over the electoral situation in Venezuela and indicating the need for accessible, transparent presidential elections with the participation of all candidates.

On Friday, January 26, the Supreme Court of Venezuela confirmed the disqualification from holding public office for presidential candidate María Corina Machado, an opponent of Nicolás Maduro’s current Government.

The leader of the Vente Venezuela movement has argued that she was never formally notified of any disqualification, so she could not be denied the right to challenge Maduro for the Presidency in the upcoming elections scheduled for this year.

The Organization of American States (OAS) released a statement condemning the «recent actions of the Venezuelan dictatorship» regarding Machado’s disqualification, stating that she is the «winning candidate in the primaries and leading in the polls,» according to the multilateral organization.
