 The Venezuelan journalist, Vladimir Villegas, repudiated comments made Thursday by the Minister of Communication and Information, Jorge Rodríguez, about the attendance of presidential candidate Henri Falcón on his program, Vladimir a la 1 (Vladimir at 1), broadcasted by Globovisión, claiming that he was the only one being interviewed in that segment.

"If you have any questions or some kind of evidence of anything that appears weird to you, you can share it," Villegas said to the minister.

Along that line, Villegas pointed out that the president and candidate for re-election, Nicolás Maduro, had not been on his program, Vladimir at 1, despite having been invited on many occasions: "I could ask, for example, why President Maduro has not wanted to come on my show, we have requested it of him several times."

"Jorge, you know very well that I have written to you, personally asking you that you coordinate this interview with President Maduro, who is invited on the program as many times as he wants, on Vladimir at 1, or any other spot on Globovisión," he declared.

In the end, Villegas mentioned that the National Electoral Council should execute an "absolutely impartial" audit on the practices of public media during the political campaign.

These were the statements from the Minister of Communication and Information, Jorge Rodríguez.
