Recently, Arreaza highlighted that "there is no possible sphere of attack that they have not activated" from the United States against Venezuela, for which he reiterated the significant value of the presence of international observers and special guests in this electoral process, to renew the National Assembly: An institution with a high important role to play in the Venezuelan government system.

"It is so important that you can come to see a people next Sunday, freely, electing its National Assembly," said the Foreign Minister, emphasizing that five years ago the opposition annulled the Legislature and turned the institution into a platform to plan and execute a coup d'état, which tried to exterminate a historic project and remove the people from the political power they seized in 1999 under Commander Hugo Chávez.

Morales joins former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa and former President of Paraguay in observing these elections. Paraguayan Senator Sixto Pereira and Former Bolivian Senator Adriana Salvatierra also arrived early Saturday.
