Caracas Venezuela This Saturday, starting at 10:00 am, there will be a crucial day of demonstrations against the electoral fraud committed by the dictator Nicolás Maduro, who does not stop threatening the leaders of the opposition, who, with proof of having won the presidential elections last Sunday with the support of the people, have been forced to take shelter.
Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado called for a mid-morning demonstration on one of the main avenues of Caracas, with a call to be replicated simultaneously throughout the country, following the electoral fraud committed by the National Electoral Council, which is subservient to the regime. According to the CNE, Nicolas Maduro was re-elected with more than 51% of the votes, while Edmundo Gonzalez had 43% support.
The opposition has demonstrated, with a website and database, that these numbers are not real and that its candidate won with more than 67% of popular support. In addition, Edmundo González Urrutia has already been recognized as president-elect by seven countries: the United States, Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Uruguay.
“We have to keep moving forward to assert the truth. We have the evidence and the world already recognizes it,” Machado said in X, saying he had gone into hiding out of fear for his life.

In other cities around the world, such as Miami, Venezuelans and the community that believes in democracy also raised their voices in rejection of the dictatorship. Around the world, according to UN data, it is estimated that there are about eight million Venezuelans who have left their country in search of a better future.
The spectre of the 2017 repression, which left a hundred dead during Maduro’s dictatorship, could generate fear of going out into the streets amidst a multiplication of threats from the Chavista leader. However, the people took to the streets in the first days of this week even though this left at least 20 dead.
