MÉRIDA, Mexico – Opposition leader María Corina Machado called for a “huge global protest” on Saturday, August 17, to defend the election results.
“GREAT WORLDWIDE PROTEST! This coming Saturday, August 17, Venezuelans will unite everywhere in the world to raise their voices for the truth: on July 28, #VzlaWon,” said the opponent in X.
“Find the voting certificate for your center at http://resultadosconvzla.com, print it and bring it to the rally in your city. Let the world see, with the certificates in hand, that we will not let ourselves be robbed. Share this image with all your Venezuelan friends because that day we will unite inside and outside Venezuela,” he added.
The opposition to Nicolás Maduro’s regime will give details on Sunday of how the protest will be organized.
“We are going to be calling for a huge event where everyone (…) has to see the strength, determination, the decision that we Venezuelans have made, that there is no turning back,” Machado had announced on Friday.
This Saturday, for his part, the opposition candidate Edmundo González called Nicolas Maduro to stop “the violence and persecution” and to immediately release “all compatriots arbitrarily detained.”
“Enough of persecution and violence, enough of trying to spread terror, enough of disrespecting the will of Venezuelans to change. Accept what our people have expressed and let us all begin to get our country out of this crisis,” said González in a statement from X.
While the electoral conflict continues in Venezuela and Chavismo entrenches itself with maneuvers in the Supreme Court Without yet showing the minutes, the NGO Foro Penal assures that until Saturday they continue 1,303 people in prisonof which 170 were women, 116 adolescents, 14 indigenous people and 16 people with disabilities.
