The Venezuelan president makes these statements after Borrell assured that he would only “accept complete and independently verified results.”
Nicolas Madurocornered behind the questioning his controversial electoral victory and the fraud accusationshas attacked the European Union this Monday. The Chavista president accuses the head of community diplomacy, Joseph Borrellof “supporting a coup d’état in the country.”

The accusations against the high representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy do not stop there. “Not only do they drag themselves in relation to Venezuela, Josep Borrell instigates and supports an open war against Russia from Ukraine“he added during his speech at a virtual summit with heads of state of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA).
“I wish the EU governments had the independence that we have, modest Governments of Latin America and the Caribbean in ALBA“I wish they had even a hair’s worth of dignity,” he continued.
What did Josep Borrell say?
The truth is that Josep Borrell, speaking on behalf of the European Union, assured that “only complete and independently verifiable results will be accepted and recognized“, alluding to the lack of transparency after the opposition published the minutes of the polling stations that They give victory to Edmundo González Urrutia and not to Maduro as indicated by the CNE.
It’s not the first Venezuela’s attack on Josep Borrell and the EU. On Saturday, the Chavista Executive already accused Borrell, in the same terms, of supporting “a fascist coup d’état” in the country.
