According to the court, the invitation was sent in early July by the Chavista-controlled National Electoral Council, contrary to rumors about the deputies' departure a few months ago. According to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, this measure is a “practice”, as the court also invites foreign delegations to monitor the electoral dispute in Brazil.

In the Venezuelan elections, dictator Nicolás Maduro will run for re-election against Edmundo González, who replaced former deputy Maria Corina Machado, who was deemed ineligible by the National Electoral Council. There have also been reports of arrests of opponents on the eve of the vote and restrictions on the freedom of the population, the media and international observers.

An experienced diplomat in Venezuela said Brazilian observers probably won’t have full access to the country’s electoral system, because the local Tokyo Stock Exchange is so controlled by Chavismo that no one is allowed to make an independent assessment.
