"There is an international hysteria about tally sheets. They could make a series on Netflix, ‘The Venezuelan tallies. Collective hysteria.’ May the French ambassador excuse me, but the issue of the tallies even covered the French Olympics. There is a hysteria. Then they (the opposition) published the tallies in that account, which today they moved to Amazon. The emporium and the technological imperialism are ready to strike a coup against the Venezuelan state."

STORYLINE:
Venezuelan Vice President Delay Rodriguez led a meeting on Thursday with ambassadors and diplomatic personnel in the country following last month’s presidential election.
During the meeting, Rodriguez ridiculed the opposition’s strategy of gathering, scanning, and publishing thousands of voting tally sheets from polling centers to claim victory in the July 28 vote.
"There is an international hysteria about tally sheets. They could make a series on Netflix, ‘The Venezuelan tallies. Collective hysteria," Rodriguez said.
Since the July 28 presidential election, security forces have rounded up more than 2,000 people for demonstrating against President Nicolas Maduro or casting doubt on his claims that he won a third term despite strong evidence he lost the vote by a more than 2-to-1 margin.
Earlier on Thursday, Opposition Leader María Corina Machado held a virtual news conference with international media.
She offered to provide all the tally sheets and databases in her possession to experts from any country, including Colombia, Brazil and Mexico, to confirm whether her candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, received more votes than the current president Nicolás Maduro.
All of them have demanded a transparent review of all the results and the results of the elections.
