Maduro disagrees with Lula's idea of repeating elections
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Thursday rejected his Brazilian colleague Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's suggestion that fresh elections could be held as a way out of the current crisis stemming from the July 28 polls when the National Electoral Council (CNE) announced his victory but the opposition cried “fraud” since no documents were produced to back up that result.

If another election were held, Maduro would lose for a second time.
And it would be even harder in a second election for Maduro and his Chief of Thugs, Diosdado Cabello, to lie about it.
That is why Maduro is against a second election.
It is Maduro the dictator and especially his Chief of Thugs, Diosdado Cabello, that are interfering in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
It's amazing how everyone else is willing to condemn Maduro.

Maduro won.
The eleitoral body in charge has confirmed the result.
If you have any doubt all you have to do is “Ask the President”.
What could be simpler?
Why should he lie?
Truth is that Nine-fingers loves and supports Maduro...but his reluctance to announce that he believes the election was a fraud, instead of declaring Gonzales the winner of the election, is driving him into a corner, harder and harder to get out of.....he and Celso Amorim are diplomatic dwarfs and clowns on the international political stage.
Aug 16th, 2024 - 04:56 pm - Link - Report abuse -1He is just looking for excuses, such as new elections, demanding the results of each polling station, postponing his commitment to democracy etc...they are weak and convince no one.
Despite being a declared communist - months ago, at a political rally attended only by his ignorant followers, he said, “tenho orgulho de ser chamado de comunista” [ “I am proud to be labelled a communist” ] - Nine-fingers can't resist blowing his mouth off about democracy and the rule of law, but his actions show he loathes them, preferring to attempt to pass laws through Congress that curb free-speech, gag the press, that restrict social networks, because they usually (or sometimes) spread something he despises - the truth.
It's well known that Nine-fingers envies Maduro's hold on the Venezuelan people and wishes he could do the same in Brazil.
Wouldn't be surprised if Nine-fingers has part of his stolen cash stashed in VZ, reason why he goes easy on his dictator pal.
