The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, warned this Wednesday that the majority opposition, which accused his re-election in the elections of July 28 as fraudulent, “he will regret it” if he tries to take power by force and put an end to the Chavista Government, established in the Caribbean country since 1999.
“They are going to regret it if they mess with the most sacred thing that Venezuela has: its Constitution, peace and its people. I’m just telling you, you are going to regret it, I know what I’m saying,” the president stressed during an event with the leaders. of public powers, broadcast by the state channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV).
In reference to the main opposition coalition – Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) -, he said that There is “a fascist, criminal, murderous current that wants to deliver” the independence of Venezuela and “impose” a coup d’état like the one that occurred against the late Hugo Chávez (1999-2013) in 2002, known in the country as ‘Carmonazo’.
“To those who want a new Carmonazo and believe and feel drunk with power, with the support of the imperialist elite of the United States, I only say do not underestimate the Venezuelan people, do not underestimate what power they have here in Venezuela and on this continent our popular, military, and police fusion,” he insisted.
In this sense, he has requested “defend” the country against the alleged plans of the United Stateswhose Administration this week recognized the PUD candidate in the July elections, Edmundo González Urrutia, as elected president of Venezuela, as the European Parliament and other Governments already did.
The electoral body proclaimed Maduro’s victory at the pollsa result that has not been recognized by numerous countries due to the lack of support to confirm this re-election.
Meanwhile, the PUD assures that González Urrutia – exiled in Spain since September 8 – won the Presidency by a wide margin and insists that its candidate will be sworn in as the new head of state, when Maduro – who has the support of all institutions Venezuelans – also plans to do so.
