Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro
has won re-election to another six-year term, in a vote marred by an
opposition boycott and claims of vote-rigging.
Amid food shortages stemming from a severe economic crisis turnout was low.
The National Electoral Council (CNE) put it at just 46% but the opposition alleges it was even lower.
The main opposition candidate, Henri Falcón, rejected the result soon after the polls closed and called for new elections.
Id win every election too if i made it illegal for anyone to run against me.
More than one knew these elections were going to be a complete fraud and more with that CNE. and their traps (how you can win an election, when you have your own electoral council allied to the socialist party ?) but there were still pepole who insisted that "A dictatorship does not come out with protests, a dictatorship comes out with votes!" much less when your own government massacred a number of people during 2014 and 2017 protests and the high mistrust and betrayal led by the "Opposition", and the number of crimes against humanity that they know, that if they lose power, they're going to be really screwed and in the international court. you know they're not going to give up power for good. One candidate was a complete opportunistic liar, and the other (Falcon), no one trusted him, and he was practically a maduro puppet. that even before he started blaming people for "because of you people not wanting to go vote, we lost!"
Hardly anyone went to vote (there was a rejection of almost 80% not to vote) and a lot of polling places were so empty. that even the electoral staff themselves went to sleep or the military playing with their phones. Some who went to vote were for threats or bribery that "If you vote for maduro, it will give you 10 million"
Many countries have already begun to show their rejection by rejecting these elections and the "Maduro victory".
