Official confirmation of Maduro’s victory in the Venezuelan elections.
According to Reuters, the head of the National Election Council of Venezuela announced that with 96.9 percent of the votes, Nicolas Maduro, the current president of the country and the candidate of the socialist and leftist parties, won 52 percent of the votes and “Edmundo Gonzalez”, the candidate of the far-right currents. Under the support of the United States, it won 43.2 percent of the votes and came in second place.
However, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken issued a statement claiming that “there are clear reasons for the US government that Edmundo Gonzas has won the Venezuelan presidential election.”
The US Secretary of State also announced that he called Gonzalez and congratulated him on his election victory!
The head of the National Election Council of Venezuela attributed the delay in updating the results to widespread attacks against the technological infrastructure.
Questioning Maduro’s election victory, Blinken accused the current Venezuelan government of rigging the election process.
However, other Latin American countries that seek to stabilize the region did not join the United States in this matter and congratulated Maduro’s victory.
Now the defeated candidate of the West in the election has asked the people to come to the streets and challenge Maduro’s victory; An action that has so far caused severe clashes between the security forces and the people, especially since Venezuela has fragile conditions and there is a risk that it will fall into the abyss of problems again.
