He also warned that opponents will attempt violent acts but that “whoever violates peace must go to prison.”

The also head of the Chavista command for the presidential elections denounced that there is a “media dictatorship” that acts against Maduro.

“The media of this media dictatorship are too shameless (…) they change the facts, impose their truth and believe that we are stupid.”

After showing headlines from various media and comments from Internet users about the elections in Mexico, in which the official Claudia Sheinbaum was the winner, Rodríguez insisted that the Venezuelan “right” imitates tactics of the Mexican opposition to criticize the Government.

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, spoke this Tuesday by telephone with the elected president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaumwith whom he ratified a “path of cooperation and brotherhood” between both countries.

The Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, explained in

“Both ratified the path of cooperation and brotherhood between Mexico and
Venezuela, two countries with great stories in the fight for independence,” stressed the chancellor, who described the conversation as “fraternal and friendly.”

He added that Maduro took advantage of the occasion to send a message to the progressive forces in Mexico, considering that Sheinbaum’s victory is “holy water that falls on Latin America and the Caribbean.”

The Chavista leader, who will seek a third term on July 28, said on Tuesday that Mexico’s electoral result marks “a progressive left-wing direction” in the region, despite the fact that the same party remains in power, but with change of president, since there is no re-election.

Sheinbaum, who thanked Maduro for his congratulations in X, obtained between 58.3% and 60.7 percent of the votes in Sunday’s elections, according to the quick count of the National Electoral Institute (INE). Behind her were, with a range of between 26.6 percent and 28.6 percent of support, her main rival, the opposition Xóchitl Gálvez, and the standard bearer of the also opposition Citizen Movement (MC), Jorge Álvarez Máynez , which would receive between 9.9 percent and 10.8 percent of the votes.
