CNE's head: Venezuela faces a profoundly anti-democratic election

[Bacchus4.0]

Vicente Díaz, director of the National Electoral Council (CNE), stressed that the Electoral Council is commonly regarded as biased and a servant of the Executive Office. He admitted that the Government and Hugo Chávez are partially responsible for such critiques as some of the Council's decisions have been undermined by the Government

The next presidential election to be held in Venezuela on April 14 will be irreproachable and transparent from a technical perspective, but "profoundly anti-democratic" in its nature because the conditions among candidates are uneven, Vicente Díaz, director of the National Electoral Council (CNE), stated.

"If we delve into the national electoral ‘ecosystem' we are facing a profoundly anti-democratic election; a basic principle in this regard is that contestants shall take part in under equal opportunities and that is exactly not the case," Díaz told AFP in an interview.

3. Erm, "only" 6 million people voted for him.

In the context of the tweet he is merely acknowledging Capriles' efforts last time and that Capriles recognized the results of the CNE. This does not indicate the CNE head is any more than a chavista.
