The proclamation of Nicolás Maduro’s victory in the presidential elections in Venezuela is the end of the falsifications and the “million dollar scam” that began to be falsified with the exclusion of political competitors from the elections. warned the journalist and founder of the news platform BOOMBoris Munoz.
In an interview for Aristegui Liveand also a magazine columnist A country added that the decision of the National Electoral Council of Venezuela (CNE) to declare Maduro the winner throws off the “last curtain” of the democratic image In this South American country, Chavismo will transform from a hegemonic movement into a totalitarian government.
He added that the entire process of reaching election day It was manipulated and controlled vertically from the Miraflores Palace.where Nicolás Maduro is headed, since the Supreme Court of Venezuela and the CNE lack the independence and autonomy to legitimize the elections held this Sunday.
In its first reports, CNE told the current president of Venezuela: Nicolas Maduro as the winner of the elections with 51.20% of the votescompared to 44.20% for opponent Edmundo González Urrutia, with 80% counted.
However, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado declared the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) candidate Edmundo González the winner with 70% of the votes, while Maduro received 30% of the votes, according to the opposition protocol.
“This is the conclusion of a fraud that has been unfolding in many instances and has happened in slow motion, but, strangely enough, This is a scam that has been visible to everyone and that started a long time ago.Even when the Maduro government imposes conditions for participation in the elections, excluding millions of Venezuelans abroad, manipulating the political process, vertically controlling Venezuelan institutions and preventing the opposition from accessing the counting of the protocols, it is key to demonstrate the vote.” Boris Munoz noted.
He added that Maduro’s supposed victory, declared by Venezuela’s electoral authorities, also represents “a blow to the will of the people” and the attempt at legitimization that the Venezuelan regime was seeking through these elections, which This will lead to the isolation and possible “Nicaraguanization” of Venezuela. that is, in the elimination of the small democratic institutionality of this South American country.
He recalled that if the Venezuelan opposition tries to condemn the election fraudl, there are no impartial authorities This guarantees a revision of the election results, since all Venezuelan institutions are under the control of the Maduro government.
Mass repression and Venezuelan migration
In this context, he warned of the possibility that the government could begin mass repressions against opponents This includes the expulsion of the main opposition leaders from Venezuela, as happened in Nicaragua, so it should not be ruled out that Venezuela will move in the short term towards the totalitarianism of countries like Cuba, North Korea, Russia and Nicaragua itself.
He expressed regret that Latin American countries and the United States had not intervened more decisively to put pressure on the Nicolás Maduro regime, despite the fact that countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Chile and the USA. They are experiencing the effects of a mass migration of Venezuelans who are leaving the South American country due to a lack of opportunities.
He reported that in a survey conducted among Venezuelan migrants about the elections in that country, 60 to 65% responded: his intention to return to Venezuela if the opposition wins the elections and Nicolas Maduro leave power.
“We are talking about 4-4 million people out of about 8 million Venezuelans who have left the country in the last 10 years, so it would be a relief for many countries that are experiencing the stress of migration. I am thinking of Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Chile and the United States.”
I am therefore amazed that the Venezuelan problem has not been attacked and addressed more decisively by the countries affected by these migratory waves.
In this sense, he stated that “of course, joint attention from Latin American countries and the United States is necessary.” so there is really active pressure going on.”
