    shame shame shame
    No one should congratulate a dictator for his “so called” re election !
    No way to know the real winner
    1 million citizens have had to flee their country since Maduro came to power ; and they were not allowed to vote

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 5 Thumb down 3

    From one dictatorship to another. Totally free and fair elections – nothing to see here. Just like our most recent that was called 2 years before it was due. The red-heads will support this but I hope the lot of you won’t be running away from Dominica in a few years like how most of the venezuelans who supported Chavez are running away from Venezuela now

    If there were cases of election fraud, show them, otherwise i see this rioting as another of America’s nasty habit of trying to overthrow governments that it does not like. Why the hell is Anthony Blinken, (the inveterate and compulsive liar), Elon Musk and their ilks interfering in Venezuelas election for? Are they Venezuelans? If it’s Anthony Blinken saying that the poll was rigged, i am 100% certain that it was not. He LIES from the pit of hell. A dam liar, that’s who he is! They tried the same thing in the Russian election, President Putin KICKED their ‘azzes’ out, and told then GET LOST.
    Does anyone interferes in Americas election?
    You see Ukraine today, about 600 000 Ukrainian men have been slaughtered by Russia in 2 years, for a regime change in Ukraine in 2014, that was executed by the same DIRTY America, with neocon Victoria Newland (an evil headed witch) being physically on the ground in Ukraine sharing cookies with the crowd. Let’s see how this one unravels.

    Seriously ?
    Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Skerrit supports a dictator and election manipulator. Problem is, he’s dragging Dominicans down with him.

      Well, the USA supports Netanyahu, but you don’t see any signs that Americans are drowning because of this, do you? St. Vincent also supports Maduro, but you do not see signs that Comrade Ralph is “dragging down” Vincies with him, do you?

    ‘Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said on Monday that the country’s opposition has 73.2% of the voting tallies from Sunday’s election, allowing it to prove election results it says give it a victory.
    The national electoral authority has proclaimed incumbent President Nicolas Maduro the winner of the vote, giving him a third term in office and extending 25 years of socialist party rule.
    But independent pollsters called that result implausible, and opposition leaders and foreign observers urged the electoral authority to release vote tallies.
    The tallies in possession of the opposition showed a total of 2.75 million votes for Maduro and 6.27 million for his rival, former diplomat Edmundo Gonzalez, Machado said.
    The numbers were sharply different to the 5.15 million votes the electoral authority said Maduro had won, compared to 4.45 million for Gonzalez.’ – Reuters

      @Truth Be Told
      Maduro could have lost, and he most likely did, but you seem to be quoting the poll conducted by US government linked firm Edison Research, which works with CIA linked US state propaganda organs, and was active in Ukraine, Georgia, Iraq, etc.
      This election had too many external interventions. Western media was even referring to Maria Corina Machado as the US backed opposition. Shame on the Venezuelan people to allow that. For this level of foreign interference, Maduro should not relinquish power.
      America needs to stop interfering in other country’s election.

    There is much controversy surrounding the re-election of Nicolas Maduro. Therefore, it would be wise not to be so quick for any democratic government to give President Maduro its full throated support at this volatile period. It is better to wait for the dust to settle.

    Having said that, I’m acutely aware of the role that the US has played in destroying Venezuela’s economy. America has frozen billions of dollars in their banking system belonging to Venezuela. The US also has crippling economic sanctions on Venezuela causing horrific economic hardship on the citizens since the reign of Hugo Chavez.

    America wants to bully Venezuela into submission. Share my ideology or prepare to suffer the dreadful consequences. May peace, tranquility and stability return to this once very progressive country.

      Venezuela had economic problems before the 2014 sanctions and the freezing of those assets in 2017.

      Way back in 2010 there were already shortages of basic goods and rising inflation. This was the result of corruption and stupid socialist politics such as the “expropriation” (i.e. STEALING) of businesses and property from their owners and giving it away to ignorant people who have no idea how to run a business. They scared away several businesses and industries and they destroyed those that were left. They mismanaged the resources of the country – giving away money and gifts (to Dominica for example) to buy support and they barely reinvested into critical infrastructure like the power grid and the petroleum plants.

      This is coming from first hand witness and in-depth research not from these communist propaganda videos and articles that people watch and read and think they know whats going on in Venezuela

        And you forget to say that evil Americas sanction according to ‘MEME’ made things worse.

    Dominica and Venezuela. What do these countries have in common? Well, the Dear Leaders of both countries can probably announce the “winning” results of their elections months before they are held as well as the results of the elections for the next 20 years or so, until their heirs apparent grow up and start having children of their own. From one “Fixer” to another. Go figure!
