Juan Barreto and others considered part of the “dissident Chavismo” were critical of the election results this Sunday
Several figures in national politics, who identify with Chavismo – and not Maduro’s – have spoken out on social media about the elections on Sunday, July 28, where the CNE announced that President Nicolás Maduro was the winner of the elections.
Walter Martínez, well-known host of the Dossier program that was broadcast on VTV, said that given the various irregularities that were evident in the electoral process, such as the impediment of the presence of witnesses, failures in the totalization process, among other things, he agrees with the possibility that the candidate Edmundo González Urrutia was the winner of the elections.
If, as reported, they take boxes, throw witnesses out of the tables, stop the totalization process, etc., unfortunately I may have to agree with this gentleman. Nothing on the street told us or tells us that the candidate Maduro wins this election.

The political analyst Damian Alifa He warned that the CNE will begin to delay the presentation of results and that, when the opposition has the evidence, they will accuse them of having forged the records.
Those who call on the opposition to prove the fraud know very well that the CNE will take a long time to publish the results and that when the opposition presents the discrepancies the government will say that they are forged records (and that they will replicate that version). On the other hand, they know that…
