Venezuela’s acting president has delivered her first address to the United Nations General Assembly since coming to power, ABC News US reported. During the address, she promised that elections would be held at the “right moment”. The supplied material does not provide a date for the elections or define what the acting president meant by that phrase.
The appearance marked her first speech to the General Assembly since becoming acting president. No further details were provided about the circumstances in which she took power or the political process surrounding the transition. The source also does not identify the acting president by name, describe the election system or state which offices would be contested.
It gives no information about whether an electoral timetable has been proposed. Her remarks at the United Nations therefore offered an assurance that elections would take place, while leaving the timing unspecified in the available account. ABC News US’s supplied material contains no reaction from other governments, United Nations officials or Venezuelan political groups.
It also does not provide additional excerpts from the address or details of any other commitments made there.
