Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González, accompanied by María Corina Machado, spoke at a press conference today and stated that they have the evidence they needed to prove that Edmundo was the winner of the country’s long-awaited presidential elections.

María Corina Machado stated that Nicolás Maduro received 2.7 million votes and Edmundo González more than 6 million votes.


While they spoke, thousands of protesters took to the streets of many cities in Venezuela to protest and denounce that the regime had once again stolen the elections in which both candidates claimed victory.

In X, protests showed anti-Chavistas tearing down several statues of former President Hugo Chávez.

So far, President Nicolás Maduro has dismissed the opposition’s accusations, calling them unfounded. “This is a desperate attempt by the fascist right to destabilize the country. The elections were fair and transparent,” declared Jorge Rodríguez, head of Maduro’s campaign command.

Let us maintain hope and faith in a better future for Venezuela,” he concluded.

Elon Musk has been actively tweeting throughout the day and sharing videos and photos of the protests:
