Maduro’s Decision to Withdraw Invitation to European Union Election Observers

The United States is deeply concerned by the decision by Nicolas Maduro and his representatives to withdraw an invitation to European Union election observers. This action runs counter to the commitments made in Barbados in October 2023 to support the integrity of the electoral process. Maduro and his representatives should immediately reverse this decision and allow credible international election observation that will build trust in the electoral process.

We will continue to work with the international community to support the aspirations of the Venezuelan people for a more democratic, stable, and prosperous Venezuela.
