CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — An eerie calm enveloped Venezuela’s capital early Monday, a day after the country’s opposition and entrenched incumbent Nicolás Maduro both claimed victory in the presidential election, setting up a high-stakes standoff.
Several foreign governments, including the U.S. and European Union, held off recognizing the results of Sunday’s election, as officials delayed the release of detailed vote tallies after proclaiming Maduro the winner with 51%, to 44% for retired diplomat Edmundo González.
“Venezuelans and the entire world know what happened,” said González. While the opposition vowed it would defend its votes, González and his allies asked supporters to remain calm for now and called on the government to avoid stoking conflict.

The Army will decide.
well I’m not sure if they are done counting. The stories i read said they had counted 80% of the vote
They’re in shock.
And, no insurrection either. 🤔
The AP reporters sound disappointed. They were hoping for a bath of blood.
Let me guess - did the regime shut down vote-counting sites because of water-pipe breaks?
Why are we given asylum on a broad basis to people from a country whose president apparently has been reelected?
Venezuela was one of the world’s richest countries in the late 20th century, now it is a hellhole due to chavas/maduro.
We shall see.
I think that the only way to remove Maduro is going to be with a firing squad.
Well, Venezuela was an early adopter of Dominion vote “counting” machines so it probably does not matter.
Maduro did the same thing Castro did in 1980’s Mariel Boatlift. He emptied out his prisons and psychiatric hospitals and sent them all to the USA...........
Well, and US sanctions.
This is what the world wide left wants, world domination and power. They will usher in their savior to get their wish. Watch for it, it isn’t far off that a newbie, charismatic leader will sweep into power. He’ll sign a treaty for “peace and security” with Israel. The warning signs are all around us. They think because they were on the ‘front lines’ they will get a piece of the commie pie. WRONG! These ideological socialists will be the first to go:
“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”
― Yuri Bezmenov - KGB 1970s
It looks that way.
Or power outages?!
That’s because they’re under the influence of satan.
