This Wednesday marks the first month of the fraudulent elections in Venezuela; on the occasion of this anniversary, the opposition to the Chavista dictatorship dared to defy the regime and took to the streets in their thousands to show Maduro that they are not afraid of him. María Corina Machado, the leader of the opposition, was present and addressed, microphone in hand, the crowd in Caracas who dared to defy Maduro and his Bolivarian police.
María Corina Machado regretted the ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) that validated Maduro’s electoral fraud announced by Maduro’s own electoral body and proclaimed that: “Those who believe that time favors the regime, every day, are wrong, they are more isolated and we are more organized.
Machado also assured that: “We know how to manage and increase our strength. “We are an indomitable people, who know that we must take care of ourselves to be able to complete our task and reach the end.” “We will make them give in and to give in means to respect the will of the people!!,” he said.
Despite persecution and threats, María Corina Machado accompanied other leaders such as Delsa Solorzano, Juan Pablo Guanipa And Cesar Perez Vivas to the concentration at the Lido shopping center, where hundreds of Venezuelans had been waiting since the early hours of the morning.
“Despite everything we have experienced in these days, today we stand, courageous. Each of you speaks today on behalf of the thousands of persecuted Venezuelans, who will be free because this force is unstoppable. It has been a month since we elected a new president: Edmundo González. It’s a difficult step and we knew it.“But this month we have managed to make the cause of Venezuela a global cause,” Machado told the thousands of participants, reports The National from Venezuela.
He assured that “Not a single democratic government in the world has acknowledged Madur’s fraudso be it. We have managed to expand our alliance. Even the witnesses of Chavismo know the truth and do not want to be complicit in a theft.
Maria Corina Machado asked to trust the opposition’s strategy
Regarding the decision of the TSJ, which confirmed Maduro’s victory without taking into account the minutes presented by the opposition that They give González Urrutia as the winner With a large advantage, María Corina Machado said: “It backfired on us. They believed that with that phrase someone would recognize them, but No one accepted this trap. Today the world recognizes the truth: the Venezuelan people voted for change and González Urrutia is our elected president.
WE ARE MOVING FORWARD!!

“We have made history and now it is time to collect. Those who say that time favors the regime are wrong. It is quite the opposite. With each passing day, they are more and more isolated. They have become toxic and we are moving forward. It is not necessary to be on the streets every day. We are in the communities every day. There The commandos have the big task communicate and tell the truth,” he added.
María Corina Machado also sent a message to the armed forces: “They know the truth and it was the Republic Plan that saved the material. They know very well what they must do according to the Constitution. “This is what Venezuela and the world are waiting for.”
Machado again called for the collaboration of the armed forces and the police to tell them with “absolute clarity” to collaborate because “they know the truth” about what happened in the July elections by being guarantors of the transfer of the material that the authorities refuse to make public. The opposition has asked the CNE to publish the official minutes in vain.
The opposition leader appeared from atop a vehicle and amidst cries of “freedom” to defend the need to continue the mobilizations despite the “brutal” repression by the authorities, which last month reportedly led to the arrest of some 2,500 people.
