Supporters of Venezuela's ruling Socialists United Party rally to celebrate their win in last week's legislative elections

ELECTION observers in Venezuela have dismissed US claims that the recent parliamentary vote was undemocratic as “false.”

The World Peace Council (WPC) was among the organisations which had open access to voters and polling stations across the country for the election of deputies to the National Assembly which took place on December 6.

Its report praised the Venezuelan people for exercising their democratic rights and overcoming “repeated sabotages, intrigues and an anti-human blockade by the US and European Union imperialists.”
