14ymedio, Havana, 4 December 2015 — A delegation from the Latin American
Network of Youth for Democracy has traveled to Venezuela to observe the
legislative elections on Sunday. The delegation, led by Rosa María Payá,
new president of the organization, wants to send a "signal of
solidarity" to Venezuelan democrats.

In a statement, the Youth for Democracy Network states that "elections
in Venezuela will influence the immediate future of the region, which
has been marked by the anti-democratic thinking of the Cuban government
powered with Venezuelan money." The text denounces that "for ten years
political models that have many points in common with the Venezuelan and
Cuban system have flourished."

Payá said in comments reported in the statement: "What we are doing is
not just an exercise in solidarity with our Venezuelan brothers and
sisters, it also is for the well being of all Latin America."

This Friday, the activist posted on her Twitter account a photo of her
with the President of the Senate of Chile, Patricio Walker, and a
message announcing her trip to Caracas, where she arrived at noon on Friday.

The Latin American Network of Youth for Democracy met from 28 November
to 3 December in the city of San Jose, Costa Rica, and Rosa María Payá
was elected to the presidency to succeed Micaela Hierro.
