Venezuela absent from the vote? Not a good look my dude

[-] NewOldGuard@hexbear.net 52 points 1 day ago

They literally can’t vote because of the US sanctions against them preventing them from collecting the funds to pay UN fees. They’ve been suspended from voting for a couple of years now

Hmmmm, you're under sanctions and cant afford the sanction issuing country club fees? Sorry sweaty, can't help you!

I was being ironic, for any country under as much duress as Venezuela it would make sense why their attendance record wasn't 100%.

Didn't only Moldova abstain or am I missing a joke or something?

Venezuela is non-voting, different from abstain.

Thanks for clearing that up! What's the difference?

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

Abstain means the country voted "Abstain"

Non-voting means no vote was recorded, probably because the country was not present.
