As a Venezuelan citizen today I witnessed another electoral fraud in my country, the truth is that illegitimate elections were held in which three candidates participated, one known as the destroyer of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro and two circus clowns named Henri Falcón (no I am interested in how your name is written) and an evangelical known as Bertucci, in my opinion it would not seem strange to me that both campaigns were financed by the government of Nicolás Maduro, since no opposition candidate ran for this election.
It seemed strange to me that a former chavist would run as president and Nicolás would not attack him as he always did with other opposition candidates such as Leopoldo Lopez, in which, because he was a rival against the government, he became a political prisoner, or henrique Capriles Radonski He even insulted him in national chains calling him a drug addict, homosexual, among other types of insults ... so why did he never get involved with this candidate or sabotage his electoral campaign?
With respect to the other opponent ... an Evangelical who took advantage of this type of religion to win over people, and really a ghost person who had problems in Panama with some crime that he committed, something that was not expected to come to the light its dark past, because in this technological age, just write a name on the Internet and you can already know in one way or another what kind of past that person had .. Also that candidate was involved in rumors (I do not know if they are true ) of sexual harassment and pedophilia.
So ... the situation is ... that there is an illegitimate National Constituent Assembly, illegitimate elections, and if every citizen complied with the suffrage of today, May 20, 2018, it was literally giving legitimacy to those two electoral frauds.
However, there was no choice but to abstain from voting, the majority of citizens chose not to recognize that circus of the government to stay six years in power.
I live in Caracas, one of the most populated cities in the country, and the capital of Venezuela. Particularly in an area where every time that elections were held, my urbanization collapsed of people and due to the amount of people that approached the electoral centers, that mainly have like place the schools of the country.
I could spend up to 5 hours in line to realize my right to vote, and today I observed the opposite, abstention was achieved.
The deserted streets, the closed businesses, few cars in the main avenues, and the VACÍOS electoral centers.
So the question of the matter ... how many millions of votes will Maduro win if there are almost no voters in the streets? That was the big question of the day, and people mocked the ghosts who voted in these elections.
There are already more than twenty elections in which always appears the murderous and cheating Tibisay Lucena, and before her Jorge Rodriguez, both presidents of the National Electoral Council, where the rectors have always been related to political parties that supported Chavez and now to Mature ... then where can you see the transparency of an institution that should be reliable? simply always the CNE will look for the way to always achieve that their candidates, are winners ...
Previous years, voter numbers were altered, ballots were organized for people to vote in elections, systems made deceased appear as voters, burning ballots of vouchers, so that no recount of votes was made, They organized campaigns financed with groups that threatened people to support these pro-government candidates, and stopped telling about the atrocities that the government has tried to do to justify their false victory.
In the end the people did not go out to vote massively, and these were the results:
Nicoás Maduro with 5.8 million votes (made by ghosts and the people who were bought and the ones plugged in by the government).
Henri Falcón with 1.2 million votes (people were not going to vote for their illegitimate candidacy, and even less without an opposition to support him)
and Bertucci with 0.90 million votes.
In the end these last two candidates denounced that there were not a good number of voters in the streets and that there were so-called "Red Points" consisting of members who support Maduro who are in charge of bribing people to vote for them, since either through food bags, threats, or with the so-called "assisted voting", which consists of another person voting with the person who is going to vote.
It really seemed stupid to me that these last two candidates cried like babies before the press complaining about their defeat ... if these elections are illegitimate, and they are participating, they are already complicit in this circus mounted by the government.
Previous years people complained after the Tibisay Payasa gave the results "Irreversible" (I'm tired of the same show in each election) with cacerolazos, and went out into the streets annoyed by every trap that institution made. But this time, people did not complain because they did not participate in this show, since nothing is surprise, it always wins Maduro whatever, with cheating, ghost voters, etc.
People simply did not recognize this electoral act, since it is a Fraud as always ...
Venezuelans look forward to support foreign intervention, and ask them to be tougher with all those sanctions that are being done to all politicians who have participated in acts of drug trafficking, corruption, money laundering, fraud, which have been curiously related to the pro-government, Chavistas and Maduristas.
I particularly hope that justice will be done, and that all these people who have harmed this country will be captured, and that they will suffer every death, exile, deprivation of liberty and suffering that they carry on their backs.
Thank you for reading my opinion about this fraud that stabs again the citizens of Venezuela, who every day live hunger, inflation, mass exodus, violation of human rights, total shortage and poor quality of life.

La abstención facilita el fraude. Las elecciones son siempre fraudulentas (en todos los países, con mecanismos como las encuestas, la compra de votos o el engaño mediático). Pensar que todos están conspirando contra el opositor venezolano es absurdo, pero es la excusa perfecta para quedarse en casa. ¿No votar porque el voto es fraudulento y porque los candidatos no sirven? Ahí está la razón por la que yo ni estoy inscrito en el CNE. El problema del venezolano es que quiere victimizar su posición para que otro (como un organismo extranjero) venga y la resuelva por él. No pasará, Maduro no es un extraterrestre, ni tampoco los que votaron por él. Son gente real que actúa por las razones equivocadas, pero ¿quién no vota con las tripas? Le he dado upvote a tu post porque nada más sentarse a expresar una opinión bien documentada requiere valor, pero no caigas en la trampa del cínico, no es inútil intentar hacer algo, inútil es ni siquiera intentarlo.
el problema particularmente en estas elecciones es que son elecciones ilegítimas, al apoyar este circo, ya estas apoyando el fraude, no hay que reconocer lo que sucedió, y eso se notó a nivel internacional, en mis 24 años de vida he votado como 9 veces, y siempre buscan la manera de tergiversar todo, la verdad es que este gobierno no saldrá de una forma electoral. así tengan un contrincante que sea victorioso utilizaran un 0,000001% para poder ganar. lo bueno es que la presion extranjera les está dando en los bolsillos a estas personas. las personas que aoyan esto lo hacen porque muchas veces los obligan, tengo muchos conocidos que trabajan en empresas del gobierno y son obligados a asistir a las manifestaciones solo por el hecho de que los despiden. he ido incluso a muchas zonas populares y no se ve movimiento de apoyo a este gobierno, porque ya las personas están viviendo en carne viva lo que es un sistema pre al comunismo. pero bueno los que quedamos aquí estamos por una razon, la mia es terminar mi carrera ya que mi carrera es muy costosa en el estrangero, pero en lo que termine, creeme que no lucharé contra el desorden social que hay en el país. gente conformista que no quiere trabajar que no son capaces de cumplir ni una sola regla.
