Venezuela is experiencing a highly tense presidential election. Voters went to the polls on Sunday, July 28, to decide between two camps.
A line that never ends in these streets of San Cristobal in Venezuela. Here, voters got up at dawn to vote, motivated by the hope of change.I am here for my grandson’s future” testifies a voter.
A high-tension election threatened by massive fraud in favor of the outgoing president, Nicolas Maduro. A few days ago, he declared that if the vote did not turn in his favor, it would risk ending in a bloodbath before going back on his statements.I recognize the electoral mediator, the official ballots and I will ensure that they are respected” said Nicolas Maduro.
Words that do not reassure his opponents who call on the army to be responsible.We are confident that our armed forces will respect the decision of our people.” said opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia.
Venezuela’s 21 million voters had until 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 28 to cast their ballots.
