Venezuela Chavismo wins the elections but loses half of its support
Cuba Maduro travels by surprise to Cuba to remember Fidel Castro
Until it finally exploded.
Nicolás Maduro
has reacted to European censorship and the Spanish government in the absence of democratic conditions in the regional and municipal elections last Sunday. And it has done so with strong accusations against the
Electoral Observation Mission sent by the European Union
: "They came as enemies, a delegation of spies" to "tarnish" the elections.
The "president town", after returning from his surprise trip to Cuba, justified the preliminary report of the Portuguese MEP
Isabel Santos
assuring that the European envoys "tried to generate opinions and matrices to stain the process, they were deployed throughout the country spying on life social, economic and political ... But the truth was already known in the world, since in Venezuela there were free and transparent elections and Chavismo swept away. "
The EU report,
"the real stamp of the process,"
as Santos said on the verge of tears, confirmed the electoral traps that Chavismo has imposed during two decades of exercise of power: extended use of state resources for Chavista candidates , lack of judicial independence, non-adherence to the rule of law, arbitrary disqualification of candidates through administrative channels, suspension of the most recognized leaders, establishment of red dots in the 23 states and attacks on electoral observers, in addition to the murder of a voter who was waiting to vote in line in front of your polling place.
Based on this report, the Spanish government issued a critical statement in Caracas, which emphasized the
absence of "democratic expectations"
.
Chavismo tried to contrast the European observers with the friends of the revolution whom it invited as international observers.
At the head was the former president of the government,
José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
, along with
Juan Carlos Monedero
, founder of Podemos, and the communist MEP
Manu Pineda
.
Despite winning 19 of the 23 governorships and 63% of the mayoralties thanks to opposition abstention and the electoral architecture imposed by force, the Bolivarian revolution has shown the world part of what it wanted to avoid. One week after the elections, Barinas continues without an elected governor despite the triumph of the opposition
Freddy Superlano
.
In Caracas it is believed that tomorrow the
National Electoral Council (CNE) will
recognize the victory in the cradle of the revolution of the leader of
Popular Will (VP)
, the party of the president in charge,
Juan Guaidó
, and of former political
prisoner
Leopoldo López
. A territory under the control of the Chávez family for two decades in which the most bizarre can happen: the three definitive acts to close the triumph of Superlano were in the hands of a general who refused to hand them over.
In addition, several leaders, including a mayor, were detained by the political police, as well as city halls looted by Bolivarian leaders.
Even the newly elected governor of the oil state of Zulia,
Manuel Rosales
, has already been deprived of various administrative powers, one of the classic abuses every time an opponent wins.
