Breaking: Nicolás Maduro reelected president of Venezuela
SourceThe Venezuelan National Electoral Council has released the first bulletin on the result of the presidential elections, awarding victory to Nicolás Maduro with 51.23% of the electoral turnout in his favor, while opposition candidate Edmundo González would have obtained 44.2%. The difference in votes reported is of more than 704 thousand votes, with the Chavista leader surpassing 5 million votes. By way of justification for the tense delay in the communication of the bulletin, the President of the National Electoral Council referred to a presumed sabotage against the system of transmission of the voting records, which will surely be an element that will stain with (more) doubt and suspicion the already controversial Venezuelan electoral process. Opposition denounced many irregularities that I will be sharing in a more detailed post later. This is just beginning I think.
Reelected? Says who? Himself?
In this post, and in those that followed, including my last one, I reflect who is saying that Maduro is the President-elect—Chavist CNE—, and I comment about irregularities that prevent the world from recognizing that result.
Too soft, friend... But I can understand that you probably have no idea how corrupt, dangerous and cruel this whole line of politicians in Venezuela actually could (and can) be.
