Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who was banned from running for president, has once again declared victory in the elections for her candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, and has assured that she has “how to prove the truth.”
“Today I want to tell all Venezuelans and democrats around the world that we have a way to demonstrate the truth,” said María Corina Machado, who supported former ambassador Edmundo González Urrutia, who is part of the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD).
“The regime was sleeping very worried and we were very busy. The regime promises a CD with the minutes [listas com os resultados por local]Let’s see what they give us, because if they give us the real ones, the ones we have, then they will have to rectify the truth.”he said in a speech on Monday.
“I want to tell you that all the minutes are reviewed, digitalized and placed on a robust web portal,” which can be consulted, he added. And he added that with 73.20% of the minutes registered, “the President-elect is Edmundo González.”

Even with the records that he does not yet have in his possession, Machado says that if the National Electoral Commission (CNE) gives the remaining votes to Nicolás Maduro, they will not be enough to reach Edmundo González Urrutia. “The difference was so great, so overwhelming, in all the states of Venezuela, in all strata, in all sectors, we won,” he said.
The presidential candidate, in turn, thanked the international community. “Our victory is historic. We won where the democratic forces of the country had never won in the last 25 years,” said Edmundo González. The CNE, in turn, officially proclaimed Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the elections on Monday.
In the same speech on Monday, María Corina Machado called for peaceful demonstrations throughout the country on Tuesday.We want to call on all Venezuelans who voted for change and want Venezuela to be free and dignified, to unite, men, women, children, the elderly. Tomorrow [terça-feira] We are going to meet as a family at the polling stations in all the cities of Venezuela between 11 and 12 hours,” he said.
