Utopia Talk / Politics / Maduro victorious again!

LazyCommunist Member	Mon May 21 03:33:12 Trump lost, communism won! http://www...ezuela-presidential-elections/ Maduro wins Venezuelan election branded ‘illegitimate & undemocratic’ by US and opposition Published time: 21 May, 2018 Nicolas Maduro has been declared the winner of Sunday’s presidential election, which saw a 46.1 percent turnout, according to Venezuela’s electoral council, after the opposition branded the vote a fraud and called for a boycott. With 92.6 percent of the vote counted, Maduro has won presidential election with 5,823,728 of the votes, National Electoral Council chief Tibisay Lucena announced. His main adversary, Henri Falcon of the Progressive Advance party, obtained 1,820,552 votes; while the independent candidate Javier Bertucci won 925,042 votes. “How much have they underestimated our revolutionary people, and how much have they underestimated me,” Maduro told a late-night crowd in front of the presidential palace. “And here we are, victorious.” Over eight million Venezuelans participated in the election, which witnessed a low 46.1 percent participation rate after opposition parties called for a boycott of the election, declaring them a “fraud.” “The process undoubtedly lacks legitimacy and as such we do not recognize it,” Falcon proclaimed, even before the election results were announced. The candidate claimed that the vote was full of irregularities and totally rigged in favor of Maduro because the mainstream opposition promoted abstention, leaving Falcon without potential voters. On Friday, the US Treasury seemingly tried to sway public opinion and the result of Sunday's vote by officially linking Maduro to drug trade, accusing the country's “second most powerful man,” Diosdado Cabello, of running a narcotics ring and sharing profits with the president. Maduro, who himself is subject to US sanctions, repeatedly slammed Washington’s punitive measures as part of a broader campaign aimed at overthrowing his government.

murder Member	Mon May 21 12:18:59 "He will be remembered by his people for decades to come!" That sounds about right. Before he's done they will all be living in huts and squatting by the river where they get their drinking water.
Y2A Member	Mon May 21 20:48:30 Venezuela is a failed experiment. There are now Venezuelan refugees all over Latin American making YouTube videos to other Venezuelans about local jargon and what to understand before coming. I see them selling their arepas on the street with their Venezuelan flag hats when I go down there. It can no longer be denied.
Dukhat Member	Mon May 21 20:56:31 Venezuela was no experiment. What Chavez did has been done a dozens of times before in banana republicans across the world. It's just sad that people bought into it. Democracy doesn't work unless institutions are stronger than individual candidates.
Y2A Member	Mon May 21 21:00:59 People bought in to it because the rich Venezuelans were so damn corrupt and hypocritical. They lined their pockets with oil money with lavish spending in Miami and supported a coup against a democratically elected government while claiming to be democrats. No one helped the hardline Chavistas more than the earlier leaders of the opposition.
