My people: I have never seen in the history of world politics, a dictatorship removed with votes… and well, nothing, I am very sad,” she expressed through tears.

Writer Leonardo Padrn posted several tweets after 12:00 am today.
“The core phrase of MCM’s statements: The defense of truth is not violence. Violence is violating the truth,” he commented on social network X.
“The country wakes up devastated. Millions of votes were stolen from under our noses. The world is speechless. Maduro and his henchmen went to sleep with the smile of hyenas. Let’s be clear: we always found it hard to imagine them having the decency to admit defeat, but let’s not forget MCM’s key words: this is until the end,” added the writer, poet and screenwriter in another tweet.
“Yes, this guy did what we thought he would do… this other guy did what we thought he would do… and this other guy did what we thought he would do…” said Luis Chataing, referring in a video to the actions of Elvis Amoroso -president of the CNE-, Jorge Rodriguez -deputy of the dictatorship- and Nicolas Maduro.
“We will also do what we have to do: not give in even an inch. The only thing we recognize today, Monday morning, is that the traps and obstacles have come in all shapes and sizes. And doing an easy sum between the real result of last Sunday’s elections and the millions of Venezuelans who were not allowed to vote, as you well know they did as an audience for the show they put on from Miraflores Palace, they lost; and they lost like never before. Today is a challenging dawn, my motivation and energy remain strong along with yours, especially for the one who has given everything for us (María Corina Machado). I hug you tightly and support you more than ever, María Corina Machado,” said the Venezuelan announcer and actor in exile.
