The Socialist Group in The European Parliament: "Venezuela must strengthen dialogue, inclusion and consensus"
The Socialist Group in the European Parliament’s coordinator for the "EuroLat" Latin-American Assembly, Luis Yáñez-Barnuevo, has delivered a positive assessment on the outcome of the referendum that took place last weekend in Venezuela with a view to reforming the country’s constitution and removing the limitation on the number of presidential terms of office. "The victory for the ‘yes’ camp, with 54% of the votes in this referendum, demonstrates on the one hand that Venezuela has respected the democratic process; President Hugo Chávez therefore deserves to be congratulated on his triumph," said Luis Yáñez.
However, in the view of the PSE Group coordinator, "these results demonstrate that Venezuela is a country almost split in two and therefore also point to the need to foster dialogue, inclusion and consensus in order to build Venezuela’s future."
