Caracas.- The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado assured that 90% of the country "said no" to President Nicolás Maduro this Sunday, when elections for mayors and municipal councils are held, rejected by the former deputy and the largest opposition coalition, denouncing a lack of electoral guarantees.
In X, Machado also indicated that 70% of Venezuela "voted for Edmundo González" Urrutia on July 28, 2024, when the presidential elections were held, in which the National Electoral Council (CNE), controlled by officials close to Chavismo, proclaimed Maduro the winner, without then publishing the detailed results, as established by the official schedule.
"What happened between July 28, 2024, and today? That on that day SEVENTY (70%) of the country VOTED FOR EDMUNDO GONZÁLEZ, and today, NINETY (90%) said NO to MADURO. Among other things, that are also happening...", the opponent expressed on the social network.

Also this Sunday, the former parliamentarian, currently in hiding, promised the freedom of Venezuela as a "historic blow" against "organized crime, drug trafficking and terrorism" on the continent. In that sense, he added that the Caribbean country will be the "greatest ally for regional stability, democracy, and prosperity in the Americas". The former congresswoman responded in this way to a publication by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who stated that Maduro "is not the president of Venezuela and his regime is not the legitimate Government". Venezuela celebrates this Sunday elections to choose 2,806 positions -335 mayors and 2,471 councilors-, a process in which the opposition Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) does not participate as a coalition, but a minority anti-Chavista sector does, headed by mayors seeking to conserve their spaces.
