"While covering the consultative referendum [in Venezuela], journalist Eduardo Viloria, of Diario de los Andes, was detained by members of the military of the Plan Republica [military deployment carried out during all electoral processes in Venezuela], who prevented him from doing his job. He was taken to the command of the National Bolivarian Police (PNB, for its acronym in Spanish) of the Rafael Rangel municipality, in Trujillo, Venezuela.
'The military official did not allow him to take photographs or ask for information from the polling location. They took away his National Electoral Council (CNE) credential and took him away,' the National Association of Press Workers said via the social media network X.
The association said that when he was taken to the PNB, they returned his credentials and offered him an apology because he had the authorization of the CNE to cover the elections."
