Congratulations president Maduro.
Looks like he just won NASCAR in this photo
A venezuelan gusano highschool friend has been absolutely seething about Maduro winning.
Goood.
“We have serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people,” he [Antony Blinken] said.
read: We have concerns that the people didn’t elect the candidate we selected for them and will continue to protest until you select a sympathetic candidate. Have you considered Juan Guaido perhaps?
“Francisco Rodriguez, a professor of international and public affairs at Denver University, said the Venezuelan opposition must document any alleged fraud and make their findings public.”
Honestly, fair take from somebody in the US. If the opposition does have clear evidence of fraud, they need to document and provide that. If they aren’t showing anything, they probably don’t have said evidence.
Ignoring for a second all the western interference, the fact he won with 51% of the vote makes me more inclined to trust the results at face value. The amount of precision it would take to fudge results JUST enough to win with a majority but not so much as to seem unrealistic would be extremely difficult to pull off. Unless people think fraud is as easy as just swapping a couple numbers around in the final tally.
Honestly, fair take from somebody in the US.
Even then, the yanks (and any western “democracy” for that matter) would blow their lid if other countries and other countries’ academia started questioning their electoral results.
Fair take, still… personally I just really can’t wait till the tables are turned in this regard. There’s no greater farce of “democracy” than what exists in the west after all… but it’ll also be hilarious to see a future where other countries (correctly) call into question the legitimacy of US elections…
She said Gonzalez had won 70 percent of the vote.
“We want the whole world to know that we won in every sector and every state in the country.
They go to so much trouble. They have news stories prepared to go out in the event that the authoritarian dictator is able to steal the election. But they have no modesty. They can’t help themselves. And they drop numbers like this that are so, so far from reality.
70% to 30% when the opposition wasn’t able to mobilize anyone for their rallies.
i have to admit that i feel kinda alleviated that he won
Annoying how many Latin American countries have attacked him, I don’t care about blatant US puppets but here’s the list of shameful social democracies.
