Jose Albino Silva Peneda...

More specifically, Jose Albino Silva Peneda is active in several parties from the Centrist Democrat International, the main global Christian Democrat Organization. COPEI, one of the biggest Venezuelan opposition parties (and one that was implicated in the 2002 coup) is also a member of that international. Erich Moncada wrote a bit about the “Christian Democrat connection” in his piece for Narco News last month.

So, Silva Peneda has at the very least a natural ideological connection to one of the leading groups trying to claim this election is invalid.

But this article on Venezuelanalysis.com highlights several positive aspects of the EU mission’s findings. For instance, I wonder why VHeadline focuses on the OAS’ concerns on voter secrecy without mentioning that the EU report said that “endangerment of the secrecy of the vote was evaluated by EU EOM experts as remote.”
