Donald Trump bragged that they were trying to overthrow the government of Venezuela, to stage a regime change and take their oil. Part of regime change tactics is pretending that Venezuela’s elections are illegitimate. This is just another propaganda piece by the people who want to steal Venezuela’s oil.
And then he even says he’ll move there if he loses: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/trump-suggests-hell-flee-to-venezuela-if-harris-wins-the-election 🤣
But seriously, if you say you won with 51% and refuse to release the detailed results of the election you oversaw, that’s on you, no need to blame the US this time. Maduro just demonstrated he’s a shitty dictator who can’t even fake an election to save face, let alone run the country.
Nonsense. He hasn’t lost support. The “election redo” plays right into Maduro’s hands. It gives him time to come up with better fraud.
Exactly. The Carter center already witnessed the previous election and was unable to determine Maduro as winner. The elections already happened, the people already voted. Why would a new election be excepted to yield any other result than what happened?
Because the election wasn’t free or fair. There are lots of good candidates in prison and exile who were not allowed to run, MCM was barred too.
I just have no faith that anyone can create the conditions for it now, Maduro would probably arrest anyone signing up to run at this point. What would Lula say then? In fact, nothing stops Maduro doing exacty what he did before: block observers, intimidate vote counters, obfuscate results.
The ideal would be if the new president from the opposition oversaw the new free and fair elections :/
