Chavismo consolidated its power this Sunday in Venezuela by winning in 20 of the 23 states of the country, in addition to Caracas, in the regional elections, elections in which the 41.8% of the census and that, for the first time in 15 years, they had a Electoral Observation Mission of the European Union (EU-EOM).
The opposition paid dearly for its lack of unity -which, if he had passed, could have brought him closer to victory in at least three more states-, in addition to five years calling for abstention, which has sown the seeds of mistrust in a large part of the citizenry.
It has also weighed heavily on lack of answers before a society that demanded results from them and that has only received empty promises.
In the capital Caracas the former Minister of the Interior won Carmen Melendez (PSUV), with 58.93% of the votes counted, ahead of the opponent Antonio Ecarri (Alianza Pencil), which obtained 15.54% of the votes, while in third position was also anti-Chavista Tomás Guanipa, which appeared with the initials of the Bureau of Democratic Unity (MUD).
