CNE: Barred Venezuelans Must Respect Law

The vice president of Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE), Janeth Hernandez, on Wednesday urged Venezuelans barred from holding public office to respect the decision by the Comptroller's Office. Interviewed by “Venezolana de Television” channel, the official ratified those citizens cannot run for the regional elections on November 23. Hernandez stressed the electoral power complies with the decisions by the judicial power. There is a Constitution and it must be respected, sustained Hernandez, pointing out that the Supreme Court of Justice can change decisions dealing with the nomination process.
