The president of USA, Joe Bidenhe acknowledged this Tuesday in his speech before the UN General Assembly the fight for “freedom” in Venezuelawhere “voters cast their vote for a change” that “cannot be denied.”
Biden alluded to the July 28 elections in Venezuela, in which the president Nicolas Maduro declared himself the winner, during the final part of his speech, when he paid tribute to the “brave men and women” who have accomplished feats such as ending apartheid in South Africa or tear down the Berlin Wall.
“I have seen it all over the world: the brave men and women who ended apartheid, tore down the Berlin Wall and fight today for freedom, justice and dignity. We saw that universal journey towards rights and freedom in Venezuela, where voters cast their vote for a change that cannot be denied.he stated.
The American president added that “the world knows the truth” about what happened in the Venezuelan elections, in which the National Electoral Council (CNE) proclaimed Maduro’s re-election without publishing the disaggregated results, something that has generated rejection from a large part of the international community.
In his speech, Biden gave his own personal example to appeal to the different leaders of the world not to cling to remaining in power.
The 82-year-old politician recalled that this summer he made the “difficult decision” to resign from his re-election campaign, ending his 50-year career to make way for “a new generation of leadership so that the country can move forward,” he said.

“Dear leaders, let us never forget: there are things that are more important than staying in power,” he stressed.
