EU’s Mogherini says Venezuela election a ‘vote for change’

EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said Monday the centre-right opposition victory in Venezuela’s national assembly elections was a “vote for change” and urged all sides to work together.

“The ballot cast by the voters is a vote for change and a clear call on all political actors and institutions in Venezuela to engage in constructive political efforts to address together the challenges ahead, for the benefit of the country and of all its citizens,” Mogherini said in a statement.
