Capriles to take election result case to international bodies

During his live web show Venezuela Somos Todos ("Venezuela is all of us&quot on Wednesday, opposition leader and Governor Henrique Capriles announced he would not wait for the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) to deliver its decision on an action challenging the results of the presidential election held on April 14.

"We will resort to international instances to present the case of April 14 presidential election and seek justice. Justice has been denied in Venezuela and it is clear that institutions do not work," the Venezuelan opposition leader remarked.

Capriles explained that the TSJ's Constitutional Court "failed to comply with all the terms established by law" to render a decision on this case. "There is a lack of justice."

"We will not wait for the courts any more (...) we know the reality; you are the tribunal of the Government. We must continue advancing under the rules of the Constitution. We have completed all requirements and we have the right."

The opposition leader said that around the end of August he would file two complaints, one on his own behalf and one on behalf of opposition alliance Unified Democratic Panel (MUD).

The Constitutional Court of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) Wednesday will render a ruling on the seven actions challenging the presidential election of April 14.

The TSJ, chaired by Justice Gladys Gutiérrez, is holding a meeting and is to answer the action filed by former opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, the opposition alliance Unified Democratic Panel (MUD) and several citizens against the election won officially by the candidate of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Nicolás Maduro.

The Court says it's "inadmissible"!

But hey, what can you expect from the same court that said that Chávez did not have to present himself to take up office while he was in his deathbed?, which goes completely against the constitution.

3. And as if that's not enough..

... Capriles also needs to pay a fine AND they want to start a criminal investigation against him.
