The president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, called on supporters of the Chavista revolutionary movement to mobilize this Tuesday in the streets of Caracas to ensure the peace of the country and the electoral victory of President Nicolás Maduro and to reject the violence unleashed by the extremist opposition that refuses to recognize the results of the National Electoral Council and the will of the Venezuelans. “We call on all our people to march tomorrow at two in the afternoon from Petare to Miraflores, also from Catia, La Vega, and El Valle to celebrate our victory, but above all, to defend the peace of the republic,” Rodríguez said during a speech on Monday, July 29, from the Federal Legislative Palace in Caracas.

Her main accomplishment was that during the 14 years as president of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE), she fundamentally reformed the country’s electoral system to make it one of the most fraud-proof systems in the world. I first met Tibisay in 1997, well before Chávez became president of Venezuela, while she was studying for an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology at the New School for Social Research in New York City.
