President Nicolás Maduro thanked “the brave people of Venezuela” for voting in a controversial election for a new Constituent Assembly that will have the power to rewrite his country’s constitution.
The election will allow Maduro to replace Venezuela’s current legislative body — the National Assembly — with the new assembly, made up of 545 members, all nominated by his administration.
“We have a Constituent Assembly. I said, come hell or high water– and hell and high water came — and the Constituent Assembly arrived from the hand of the people, from its conscience,” Maduro said, claiming victory.
The opposition boycotted the election as a fraud and has called for massive protests to begin again Monday.
This man sent the police to arrest the opposition leaders in their pajamas. This is the high level of corruption which is in Venezuela. People are malnourished due to lack of food and the number of people who are against this gov’t rises day after day. The united nations should make sure that this president is out of office as soon as possible and we need the same thing to take place in Dominica because Skerrit is paving the same path as Maduro in Dominica.
it was reported that the ink used could be wiped off instantly, giving fanatics the option of voting 100 times..
These poor people of Venezuela have to be the laziest and stupidest people on the face of this earth. What has Maduro done for them but sink them deeper into poverty and despair?
Instead of trying to find a way to earn their own keep, they prefer to vote for someone who hands them crumbs, so long as they can sit on their arses and wait for a handout.
I hear you bro but we all have to admit that Dominicans are the same. You see, when government successfully turns a majority into beggars and ensure that they get scraps from the table constantly you get a dependent society. They will die for the government because the scraps though mega continue to flow. In other words to hell with the rest….we are witnessing the same in Dca.
Assertive like the rod of Moses!
The voting is fraudulent and rigged. That is why he is still in office.
We can say Maduro is one happy man. I expect the PM and other supporters, wherever they reside are elated.
The opposition did something wrong to boycott the election. Imagine the amount of followers they have. I visualize they are looking for trouble by planning to protest. Do these people want peace?
Off course, and I bet he got some 95% of the votes
That is a victory like Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Funny, I haven’t heard the P.M.’s congratulations yet.
hmm… Maduro, you are a very sick person… God does not sleep… The dark is always watching…
Justice will be delivered onto thee…
Maduro, sakway buwo!!!
Observing from the outside, why didn’t the opposition take part in the elections, after all they control the National assembly by a huge margin. When the opposition won the national assembly elections there was no talk of fraud. If it is true that Venezuelans need Maduro and his administration to go then how is that he can call an election in the midst of mass demonstration to his rule. Why did the demonstrators not interupt the elections? Are we been told the whole truth about the Venezuelan situation?
My sources inside venezuela are telling me that there may have been as many as 5 000 000 (five million) fraudulent votes. if that really is the case then that alone is and should be an indictment to this corrupt government.
It’s official! Venezuela’s a socialist democracy is a dictatorship led by a corrupt bus driver.
Skerrit best friends in Venezuela, that old labor party shares and parades with the same colors
Corruption in high places. That what we might be facing here soon.
Desperate times, desperate measures. Dictators will do anything to hold on to power even it means changing the constitution.
What victory? A fight without an opponent, a race without completion? Such is but a hollow victory, a Phyrric victory as shall be proven by the events to unfold. The poor people of Venezuela have nothing to lose because they have nothing already but who will offer a safe haven to the fat cats and their accumulated wealth? Could Roosevelt Skerrit , the defender of all things Bolivarian be persuaded to play the role of savior for Maduro, who is no longer maduro but long since podrido?
This reminds me of the rotten state in which Dominica is in., with Skerrit and his polluted DLP team going to parliament to legitimize TREATING and BRIBING, pure acts of of corruption. Dictators only strength is to remain in power. There are many things they fear when power has left them. I do know that the Venezuelan people are fighters, and will eventually get rid of DICTATOR Maduro, .In similar fashion Skerrit will be voted OUT too, as resident Dominicans did in 2014. We have to keep focused on the narrative NO ELECTION WITHOUT ELECTORAL REFORM…….We have to fan this flame, so that those wicked, and colony of doggone idiots cannot come with the farce that they had no time TO IMPLEMENT THOSE REFORMS!!!!!!
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW.
A rotten state? You are joking. I have relatives and friends there and no one complains as you. They studied and worked hard for what they have, most before the PM was a politician. This is how people as you could spread propaganda. You need to see a psychiatrist.
When was the last time you were home Truth? I assure you Roseau is not Toronto and Dominica is not Canada.
