“The people went out to vote yesterday and there are the results, one of the greatest victories in 26 years of the Bolivarian Revolution. A new cycle of more work, of self-demand, we have achieved the path, we have the Seven Transformations Plan (T7) to advance in seven work fronts, which is already being developed, it is not that we are inventing it”, highlighted the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros.

The Venezuelan President emphasized that this new stage will be called “the Acceleration Stage of the New Epoch of Transition to Venezuelan Socialism”, which seeks to deepen the cultural, political, civilizational and economic development of the country. Likewise, he assured that the Bolivarian Government has a defined plan, the necessary resources and the support of the people to achieve a flourishing unprecedented in the history of the nation.

Likewise, he pointed out that the vote in the elections of May 25, 2025 represents a conscious expression of the Venezuelan people in favor of peace, which reaffirms the citizens’ commitment with the stability and future of the country. At the same time, he highlighted the fragmentation of the opposition at the regional level, which evidenced its lack of cohesion and leadership.

On her part, the First Lady of the Republic, Cilia Flores de Maduro, celebrated the election day, declaring that “this victory is a victory for Venezuela”. She also highlighted the massive mobilization of social movements and Venezuelan women, who expressed their rejection to the attempts to generate violence in the country. He emphasized that the confidence in the institutions and in the Head of State is based on the transfer of power to the people, which allows the Communes and Communal Circuits to elect their leaders and execute projects.

Likewise, the person in charge of the Electoral Machinery and Defense of the Vote of the Ven25+ Campaign Command, Diosdado Cabello, reaffirmed that the Venezuelan people went to the polls in search of peace and tranquility, while recalling that in the elections of July 28, 2024, sectors of the extreme right revealed their true intentions to attain power by force and disregard the will of the people.

Cabello added that, thanks to information obtained from different sources, it was possible to reconstruct the panorama of the actions that the extreme right wing planned to affect the development of this Sunday’s elections and stressed that the extreme right wing does not value the democratic process and has repeatedly demonstrated its inclination towards violence to undermine the Bolivarian Constitution.

Finally, the head of the Ven25+ campaign command, Jorge Rodríguez, highlighted the success of the election day. “There is no way to hide such triumph”, he stressed while revealing that citizen participation increased by one million 300 thousand votes compared to the regional elections of 2021, which shows the resounding support of the people to the Revolution.

      Now do western liberal democracies. What is voter turnout like there and what percentage of votes do winning parties typically get? Here i’ll start you off:

      US turnout is typically around 30% and winning parties hover around 50% plus minus a few points, that means only 15% of the eligible voters (which is not even all adults) ever support the government.

      In Germany we had record turnout of 80% (usually it’s lower) but the winning party didn’t even get 30%, and now they are polling even below 25%. This means that in the best case of a record turnout election less than 24% of the eligible voters support the winning party.

      None of our parties here could win 80% of the votes even if our turnout was only 40%. By the standard of liberal democracies Maduro is genuinely popular. Don’t be a hypocrite. If you’re gonna do math compare it properly.

      If the opposition wants to boycot the vote that is their choice, but it doesn’t invalidate the democratic mandate that Maduro has. It just shows that they know they are not popular and are afraid to be seen losing if they actually participate.

      Instead they engage in underhanded plots to try and sabotage the elections, and collaborate with foreign powers to sanction Venezuela, make its people miserable, and try to overthrow its elected government. No wonder they are unpopular.

          Lol! In Germany you have multiple parties all running against each other. In this particular election in Venezuela…there was only one party running. And they still only got 34% support.

          In Venezuela, there are also multiple parties running against each other so you are literally lying LOL.

          This whole election was a scam…and illegal under Venezuelan law. They already had an election. They lost. They just don’t want to admit it, so they’re just going to keep having new I es u til they get the results they want. In this case, they ran all by themselves…and no one else showed up.

          Now, the rest of your message is pure fiction divorced from reality and just projections from your reality in Europe(or whatever western country you came from). I will go on and say that all of what your Goebbels style accusations are actually happening in Western liberal countries filled to the brim with unpopular governments and nihilism.

          Even Venezuela’s allies can no longer support Maduro’s fake government.

          On the contrary, Venezuelan allies are happy with them. Fortunately, solidarity is growing stronger despite western propaganda.

              If you really cared about Venezuelan law and was humble enough to actually study what happened besides falling for the “Great Man theory”, you will have known that the CNE and TSJ are the ones in charge of the physical tallies(not Maduro) and they validated them with plenty of international observers scrutinizing every move.

              They literally followed the law as they should. It is funny that Western fascists and sionist Maria Corina Machado followers love saying otherwise.

              I wish to see Westerners scrutinizing their own fake elections as much as they do for Global South countries. Maybe, you will actually find that countries not following the law are actually western ones. US scared 2

                  The evidence was released to the corresponding authorities within Venezuela and the international observers supervising the whole process. It is not just a “Trust me, bro. He won.” as you absurdly try to suggest.

                  Unlike what the undemocratic US regime and their mouth pieces say, Venezuela is not a colony that responds to another countries’ will and their foreign NGOs/institutions but an independent nation with their own institutions.

              Does your claim implies that Venezuela still have functional democracy for the whole ~20 years of Socialist rule and that Chavez and Maduro won elections fairly and honestly?

          This you?

          When will tankies learn that constantly attacking Liberals is exactly what fascists want them to be focused on.

          (Points at a Liberal) Look over there! (smoke bomb)

          You guys just keep doing exactly as you’re told.

          Who exactly is good at smoke bombs, I wonder. “Tankies” or the person who is drawing up a flimsy narrative about election fraud relating to a country that has to work overtime to maintain self determination against western sanctions and coup attempts and so on.
