The opposition, led by Machado, published on a website copies of about 80% of the electoral records, which would prove González Urrutia’s victory.
The protests against Maduro’s re-election left 27 dead, 200 injured and some 2,400 detained, including 164 teenagers.
Opponents protested again this Saturday in Caracas and other cities in the country against the official result of the presidential elections.

Machado, who has kept her whereabouts hidden while the Government labels her a terrorist, had an indirect participation in these demonstrations, through a recording that citizens played.
“Each record (of voting) contains thousands, millions of stories, of steps, of tears, each record is a testimony of our strength, courage and our determination to be free and equal, each record contains the truth of popular sovereignty expressed in every vote,” Machado said via audio.
Likewise, he maintained that every day the Maduro Government is “more alone, isolated and weak, its violent attacks are a sign, evidently, of desperation.”
