The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Madurosaid on Wednesday that the presidential candidate of the majority opposition, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutiaand its supporter Maria Corina Machado they have to “being behind bars” for alleged “criminal” actions in recent dayswhen multiple spontaneous protests were recorded in rejection of the Official result of Sunday’s elections.
“If you ask me my opinion as a citizen, I tell you that these people have to be behind bars, and there has to be justice in Venezuela,” said the head of state at a press conference.
Likewise, Maduro, who was proclaimed president on Monday by the National Electoral Council (CNE) without all the votes counted, which have not been published either, He called González Urrutia a “coward” and Machado a “criminal far-right fascist”who, for his part, insists on the victory of the former ambassador, having obtained more than 80% of the votes issued on Sunday.
“Instead of hiding, they should appear before the Prosecutor’s Office and face the crime, instead of fleeing like cowards and continuing to call their criminal groups to insurrection.”Maduro added, despite the fact that neither of the two opponents are sheltered anywhere, since this same Tuesday they led a massive activity on a street in Caracas.
The call to jail for both anti-Chavez activists was made on Tuesday by the president of the National Assembly (AN, Parliament), the pro-government Jorge Rodríguez, who accused them of being responsible for a “fascist conspiracy” against the elections, while The number two of Chavismo, the deputy Diosdado Cabello, threatened that they will “screw them”.
Threats
Numerous opposition groups, organisations and a large part of the international community, who question the official results of the elections, demand the publication of all the minutes, while the majority anti-Chavez supporters claim to have more than 80% in their possession, which they insist gives the victory to González Urrutia by a wide margin.
The electoral body declared the president the winner by just over 704,114 votes over González Urrutia, when more than two million votes remained to be counted – 20% of the voting records, the count of which is still unknown – which could change the final results.
