Caracas, October 6 (teleSUR-RHC)-- Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez logged on Twitter account on Monday night to criticize “unfounded” attacks against Venezuela by the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

While speaking at an event in Valparaiso, Chile, Kerry described Venezuela as an "imperfect democracy" with "serious challenges," while suggesting that December’s parliamentary elections will be a “measure of what sort of democracy (Venezuela) is.”

“Venezuela rejects the unfounded declarations of Secretary of State John Kerry about our homeland.  We are a brave people!” she wrote.

Rodriguez in another tweet stated: “Mr. John Kerry, your electoral system has a lot to learn from Venezuela's.  Electoral registry in the U.S. is founded on discrimination.”

A report issued last week by the Constitutional Accountability Center notes that in the last 10 years, civil rights in the U.S. have been dismantled by the U.S. Supreme Court, such as the 2013 decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act.

“I want to remind Secretary of State John Kerry that our constitutional political system is founded on a democracy led by the people,” tweeted Rodriguez.
