The National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela proclaimed this Sunday to the winning Chavismo in 23 of 24 regions of the country, including, referring to the territory of almost 160,000 square kilometers that Caracas considers its state number 24, although it manages it Guyana.
With “a transmission corresponding to 93.01 % of the electoral tables”, Chavismo recovered the Zulia (Northwest), Barinas (West) states and the Insular Nueva Esparta, won by the opposition in the previous regional elections, while the antichavista Alberto Galíndez, governor of Cojedes (west), has been re -elected.
In La Guayana Esequiba, the Chavista Neil Villamizar, a military with 34 years of career in the Bolivarian Navy, who told Efe, was a plan to have a plan to “bring Venezuelan” to the territories in southern Venezuela that limit with the area in claim that Caracas and Georgetown are disputed.
The vice president of the CNE, Carlos Quintero, said that these results have been announced “with an irreversible tendency”, so the electoral regional meetings were authorized to begin “the process of awarding and proclamation of the charges.”
“We have lived a new day of sovereignty, a civic and democratic expression of the people of Venezuela, the people spoke with their vote,” said the rector, who called for respecting the results.
According to the CNE, the participation was 42.63 % of the total number of voters, about 21.4 million citizens, who were summoned to participate in this process for which 15,736 voting centers throughout the territory were enabled.
These elections are rejected by the Democratic Unitary Platform (PU), the main antichavist coalition, which claims the triumph of Edmundo González Urrutia in the presidential presidentials of last year and denounces as “fraudulent” the victory of the president proclaimed by the CNE, controlled by officials related to Chavismo, who has not yet published the broken results of this process.
After knowing the results, the president has celebrated them with their co -religionists and has emphasized that Chavismo is “more in force and stronger than ever.” “After blockages, criminal sanctions, fascism and violence, today the Bolivarian revolution has demonstrated that it is more in force and stronger than ever, today we have demonstrated the power of Chavismo, of the Bolivarianism of the 21st century,” said Maduro, in an act in Caracas.
However, the antichavist leader María Corina Machado assured this Sunday that more than 85 % of Venezuelans “disobeyed” and did not vote in the regional and parliamentary elections, which described as a new defeat for the “criminal regime” of Nicolás Maduro. In a video broadcast on X, the former deputy called the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) to “open the way to the transition, in order and safely”, complying, as he said, “with her constitutional duty” and being “guarantors of popular sovereignty.”
Machado rejected from the beginning the call to these votes after denouncing that there was “fraud” in the presidential elections of July 28 of last year, ensuring that the winner was González Urrutia, not Nicolás Maduro, proclaimed winner by the CNE, related to Chavismo.
