González Urrutia left Venezuela and arrived in Madrid on September 8, where he has requested asylum and where, in the last three weeks, he has received recognition of the European Parliament and other international organizations as “elected president” in the Venezuelan elections.

What did Maduro say about the opposition?

Maduro stated that “fascists promote hatred, division, intolerance, they seek violence, when they are in groups they are rebelled, but when they are defeated they are cowards.”

The president indicated that two months after the presidential elections, Chavismo has consolidated the “victory”, peace, economic growth, as well as social recovery plans.

Opponents protested this Saturday in Caracas and other cities in the country against the official result of the presidential elections since, they insist, the winner was González Urrutia by a large majority.

The protest, called by PUD, was carried out under the “swarm” mode, so that citizens could “appear and disappear” quickly for security reasons, as Machado explained.

The former deputy, 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 over the 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.”
