Translated from Spanish

Based on articles 2, 5, 19, 25, 62, 70, 132, 152, 253 and 333, the Committee of the Social Comptroller's Office of the Judicial Justice System (CCSSJJ) and several social and political organizations urgently call on the President-elect, Nicolás Maduro Moros, to the CNE and the International Observers, to meet to discuss the irregularities detected in the elections of May 20, 2018.

Members of the Council of Social Comptrollership of the Judicial Justice System (CCSSJJ), among these Martha Riategui, in the company of Carlos Paredes (MOPIVENE) and Gonzalo Gómez (MAREA SOCIALISTA), seconded by other movements and people adhering to the complaint, think that "having a public and communicational demonstration, with statements issued by the president himself, given as the winner of the elections, on the offer of payment by votes, with State resources, and knowing that the CNE prohibited it, which he communicated in a subsequent statement, but it did not sanction the candidate who offered it, there is so much a serious electoral crime of Nicolás Maduro and other psuvist leaders, as of the CNE, for lack of application of the law, once the electoral illicit has been recognized. "

It seems strange to them that the International Observers have not made known references to what it means to offer "prizes" or payments for voting, to those who are carriers of a certain card . "Do you know that this is absolutely illegal according to Venezuelan law and in other parts of the world?" They ask, and wait for the answers.

They state that "the deputies of the Amazonas state, of the National Assembly (AN), were suspended for buying votes and that led to the situation of 'contempt' for which the National Assembly was left inoperative. , they point out that "this now is not less than that and it is even more serious".

Backstory: In 2015, Venezuela experienced its last fair election. An election that saw Chavismo swept from office in a nationwide election when every member of the National Assembly stood for election/reelection. A full (but slim) Super-Majority of members of the MUD coalition were now able to over-ride any dictate by Maduro and show some new leadership in Venezuela. But, not so fast, bucko...

Maduro promptly went against the constitution of Venezuela, and seated a new TSJ (Supreme Court) prior to the seating of the new AN. This Chavista TSJ decided to take to heart the spurious accusation from the PSUV (Chavez' party) that 3 AN electeds had "bribed voters" in Amazonas state, and these 3 members should not be seated. "Poof" went the supermajority. And the TSJ has had three years to check the validity of these claims... but why bother? The TSJ decided to nullify any laws coming out of the AN because the AN swore in the members anyway (again... no crime ever proven, let alone investigated)

Fast forward to last weeks elections: Maduro, in violation of MULTIPLE sections of the constitution, openly offered bribes to voters in exchange for votes. Text messages sent to phones... emails... the proof is everywhere.

But... not a peep from the Chavista TSJ.

And the Chavista faithful want their loot. And Maduro's CNE says, "it is illegal..." yet Maduro is allowed to be sworn in by the TSJ who wouldn't allow 3 members of the AN to be seated because of accusations alone...
