Oh, the journalist Miguel Salazar, the famous fat man, has died. I was a fuel for Las Verdades de Miguel in Quinto Día
Until he became the government and like the late José Vicente Rangel, what seemed wrong to him before had an explanation later.
He was a decent man. RIP— Julio C Quevedo (@CQuevedo7095) August 13, 2024
Miguel Salazar was critical of Hugo Chávez and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). After Chávez’s death, he was also critical of the current president, Nicolás Maduro.
He also exercised editorial criticism against the Venezuelan opposition, from which he brought together traditional parties in 2004 to promote the recall referendum and even the Democratic Unitary Platform itself that participated in the Barbados dialogues.
One of his last messages on social media was to demand the publication of the data broken down by polling stations and tables from the July 28 elections, in which Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner.
It is not too much to ask that the CNE publish the minutes, center by center and table by table. In any case, manual counting is necessary.
