VENEZUELA: EU push for electoral observation backfires
Venezuela’s government has wheeled from condemning the reimposition of US sanctions in April to criticising the lifting of some European Union (EU) sanctions this week. The EU suspended its sanctions on the president of Venezuela’s national electoral council (CNE), Elvis Amoroso, and three former CNE rectors, in the hope of securing the entry of European observers to monitor the 28 July presidential election. The move backfired, with Venezuelan officials lining up to criticise the supposed arbitrariness of EU sanctions and the national assembly passing a resolution urging the authorities not to invite an EU electoral observation mission.
