#protests Venezuela

[buuuuuuuu3]

“You’re literally rich and an imperialistic infiltrating American oppressing the good people of the Venezuelan government because you’re literally speaking English and have WiFi”

WTF are u guys talking about??? We are giving information in English because it’s a language that can and will reach more people, I’m sorry that YOU are so stupid to think that because someone knows another language (which in most places is the first to be taught and learned as a second language) it’s impossible for that person to be in a bad situation and oppressed and even then when we make a grammatical mistake or put the wrong word in a sentence you still find a way to make fun of that too?

You guys have done a 180, you’re so liberal and left leaning and fight for so many “rights” that YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE THE FAR RIGHT DICKHEADS YOU HATE!. It’s so fucking stupid to be defending a government literally killing and torturing people for years now, making now two new prisons for everyone who publicly its against them and not even just by protesting but the police is literally stopping people and making them show their phones to them and if they find anything even shit talking the government in a private chat with your best friend that could mean that you’re going to jail and be tortured, how are u guys defending this? Because they said they’re from the left? nEWSFLASH literally every government can be authoritarian!

They’re RAPING WOMEN AND MEN, INCLUDING FUCKIN MINORS! They have the biggest center of torture in latinoamerica, they have done this repeatedly for years and you cannot see it because you’re to focused on yourself and your fucking country! They’re killing us and you can only talk about how bad America is while most of you are American, YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF! The call is coming from inside the house! Get your head off your ass! Be aware of what the fuck is happening! Stop telling US about our own experiences and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP AcTING LIKE WE ARE WAR CRIMINALS because WE WANT FREEDOM!

It is heartbreaking what just happened in Venezuela with the elections, especially with having to read people's opinions who obviously have never actually listened to Venezuelans or Venezuelans who are not connected to the government.

There were Venezuelans coming back after escaping the country just to vote, people getting rid of their fear to vote, my great-grandmother who needs aid to move went out to vote, all my family back home voted, and people all across the country went out to vote.

Some were not allowed, the military kept them out, and the military closed some voting boots, the law in Venezuela dictates that boots that still have people waiting to vote must wait for all to vote and then close, the law dictates that people are allowed to be on the room while the votes are being counted. None of that happened, boots with nobody waited to close past hour while boots with people were being closed, and people were not allowed in the room even though they were asking and demanding their right to be there.

People are protesting and risking their lives both yesterday and today, because the elections were rigged, and everyone in Venezuela is tired from their bullshit.

Please, please, please, don't say that the Venezuelan people chose Maduro, don't support whatever they say, even if they said they support Palestine, do you really want the support of someone who has destroyed their own country? ignore the needs and wants of their people? force people out of the country because there is no electricity, food, or medicine? I don't care where you fall on the political spectrum, THIS IS WRONG.

As a Venezuelan, I am crying and heartbreak for what just happened.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro rightly calls out the double standards of the "international community", and expresses his solidarity with the student protests for Palestine.

Having lost the election, the opposition immediately began violent attacks to incite terror and confusion. They attacked symbols of the Venezuelan Revolution: schools and health centers in working-class areas, public bus stations and buses, offices of Chavista communes and parties, and statues of figures who had set the Bolivarian Revolution in motion.

Every day since the election, hundreds of thousands of Chavistas have taken to the streets of Caracas and elsewhere. In each of these marches, the chant no volverán – they will not return – reverberated amongst the crowd. The oligarchy, they said, will not return.

MESSAGE IN ENGLISH / MENSAJE EN INGLÉS

As a Venezuelan, I feel obliged to write a message on all my platforms, even if they are not the biggest, it is a commitment I have with my country and the people I love the most in life.

Nicolás Maduro and his string of criminals have rigged the results of the presidential elections held on Sunday, July 28, 2024, proclaiming himself president of the republic.

Venezuela has been suffering under the Chavista regime for 25 years, people are already fed up, tired and desperate. People no longer want to die of hunger, they do not want to suffer in hospitals for lack of medicines and resources, people do not want to leave Venezuela for reasons of their future, PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE, LIVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM. And this is impossible under the Chavista dictatorship, of which Nicolás Maduro is in charge.

For this reason, people voted for Edmundo González Urrutia, the people made the candidate Edmundo González victorious, but the socialist party of the Chavistas manipulate everything at their convenience and now people are dying in the streets, fighting for their rights.

There are dead, arrested, injured and missing in all cities of the country, including minors. These people are taken to a place called "El Helicoide", the largest torture centre in all of Latin America (courtesy of the Chavistas, since the main project was for this to be a huge shopping centre). Here they undergo the worst tortures (sleep deprivation, suffocation by putting their heads in plastic bags with pesticides, among many other things), and if these people are lucky, they die and do not suffer anymore.

They also make these prisoners make videos telling people not to go out on the streets, these prisoners are obviously coerced, threatened and with the promise that they will leave them free with no repercussions for themselves or their families.

Just on July 29, a MINOR (15) was killed by a shot in the neck.

And for the people who support Palestine (as it should be) DO NOT FALL INTO THE WORDS OF NICOLÁS MADURO. That man is NOT pro-Palestine, he is only anti-United States.

That talk of "Long live free Palestine" in front of the cameras is pure story, do you really believe it? When not even his own country is free?

VENEZUELA IS A DICTATORSHIP, THERE IS NO ANY KIND OF DEMOCRACY.

In an upcoming post I will collect links so that they can donate for funeral expenses, donations to buy medical products for the injured (saline solutions, gauze, medicines, gloves, etc...) and, if you can't donate, please SPEAK

Venezuelan security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets Monday at protesters challenging the reelection victory claimed by President Nicolás Maduro but disputed by the opposition and questioned abroad.

Thousands of people flooded the streets of several neighborhoods of the capital, chanting "Freedom, freedom!" and "This government is going to fall!"

Some ripped Maduro campaign posters from street posts and burned them.

AFP observed members of the national guard firing tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters, some wearing motorbike helmets and bandannas tied over their faces for protection. Some responded by throwing rocks back.

Maduro, 61, attended a meeting Monday at which the National Electoral Council (CNE) certified his reelection to a third six-year term until 2031.

He dismissed international criticism and doubts about the result of Sunday's voting, claiming Venezuela was the target of an attempted "coup d'etat" of a "fascist and counter-revolutionary" nature.

But opposition leader Maria Corina Machado later told reporters that a review of voting records available so far clearly showed that the next president "will be Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia," who took her place on the ballot after she was barred by Maduro-aligned courts.

The records showed a "mathematically irreversible" lead for Gonzalez Urrutia, she said, with 6.27 million votes to only 2.75 million for Maduro.

The elections were held amid widespread fears of fraud by the government and a campaign tainted by accusations of political intimidation.

Pollsters had predicted a resounding victory for the opposition.

In the early hours of Monday, the CNE said Maduro had won 51.2 percent of votes cast compared to 44.2 percent for Gonzalez Urrutia.

The opposition cried foul, prompting Attorney General Tarek William Saab to link Machado to an alleged cyber "attack" seeking to "adulterate" the results.

'Another fraud' 

The outcome sparked concern and calls for a "transparent" process from the United Nations, United States, European Union and several countries in Latin America.

The CNE has not provided a detailed breakdown of the result.

Allies including China, Russia and Cuba congratulated Maduro.

Gonzalez Urrutia, a 74-year-old former diplomat, on Monday acknowledged the deep discontent in society with the CNE results and vowed that "we will fight for our liberty."

Machado assured Venezuelans that "the leaders of the world" are validating the results, and called families to turn out Tuesday for "popular assemblies" nationwide to show support for a peaceful transition of power.

Nine Latin American countries called in a joint statement Monday for a "complete review of the results with the presence of independent electoral observers."

The US-based Carter Center, one of a few organizations allowed to bring observers into Venezuela, urged the CNE to immediately publish detailed polling station-level results.

Brazil and Colombia also urged a review of the numbers while Chile's president said the outcome was "hard to believe."

Peru recalled its ambassador and Panama said it was suspending relations with Venezuela.

Caracas hit back Monday, saying it was withdrawing diplomatic staff from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay for "interventionist actions and statements."

'Bloodbath' warning 

Independent polls had predicted Sunday's vote would end 25 years of "Chavismo," the populist movement founded by Maduro's socialist predecessor and mentor, the late Hugo Chavez.

Maduro has been at the helm of the once-wealthy oil-rich country since 2013. The last decade has seen GDP drop by 80 percent, pushing more than seven million of its 30 million citizens to emigrate.

He is accused of locking up critics and harassing the opposition in a climate of rising authoritarianism.

In the run-up to the election, he had warned of a "bloodbath" if he lost.

Ballots were cast on machines that sent electronic votes directly to a centralized CNE database.

The machines printed out paper receipts that were placed in a container and counted by hand as a backup measure meant to be open to public scrutiny.

The opposition had deployed about 90,000 volunteer election monitors nationwide.

Economic misery 

Sunday's election was the product of a deal reached last year between the government and opposition.

That agreement led the United States to temporarily ease sanctions imposed after Maduro's 2018 reelection, rejected as a sham by dozens of Latin American and other countries.

Sanctions were snapped back after Maduro reneged on agreed conditions.

Venezuela boasts the world's largest oil reserves but has seen severely diminished production capacity in recent years.

Most Venezuelans live on just a few dollars a month, and endure biting shortages of electricity and fuel.

Economic misery in the South American nation has been a major source of migration pressure on the southern border of the United States, where immigration is a major presidential election issue.

I don’t want to see nothing about Edmundo being a “coward” for leaving Venezuela, being captured by the Venezuelan government (my own government) is one of my recurring nightmares. They like to ridicule everyone from the opposition and us Venezuelans somehow follow their lead. What would be his worth to the country being tortured in jail or dead?

[araguaneys]

Posting these since i dont know if anyone has yet but if anyone wants to attend the protests for Venezuela tomorrow on august 17th 2024 in north america which ofc includes mexico, the us and canada here are some of them: (((it's been pointed out that the toronto time is wrong and its actually at 2pm)))))

Again everyone that wants our freedom and is willing to protest peacefully is welcomed we need as much help as we can since people in Venezuela get arrested, tortured and more for protesting or simply sharing or liking something against the government online. If you can see how this is wrong, we need you this is a worldwide fight against authoritarism, fascism, dictatorships, censorship, violence etc it affects us all.

I can't turn the eye on what's happening right now in my country, there's people dying, not because of nature's course, but because fking people who has been in charge for over 25 years now.

They're killing us, they're killing 15yo kids, they're pointing guns at 80yo, they're kidnapping 20yo. All of us are fighting for our rights to be respected.

We chose, we voted, and we want that to be our reality.

We won't stop fighting back. We will have our change of government

Caracas and several cities in Venezuela witnessed a new round of demonstrations supporting the Bolivarian Revolution as well as a few small far-right demonstrations called by those who got defeated in the presidential elections held on July 28 but claim victory nonetheless. The low turnout in the opposition demonstrations contrast sharply with their claim of having received 7.3 million of votes in the presidential elections.

The “massive” march promised by the far right for this Saturday, August 17, was a clear failure. The call for protests was unable to attract large crowds in Caracas and other cities as planned, despite the calls of María Corina Machado and an army of influencers and paid journalists on social media platforms asking Venezuelans to join the marches.

Ok, it turns out that Bangaldesh is free because the man responsible for all this shit resigns from his position

Unfortunately, there are still many countries like Venezuela, when it comes to dictatorship, and then there are all the countries where there is genocide and this type of :/

Unfortunately, I couldn't focus entirely on Bangaldesh, because as I mentioned, there is too much going on in the world and there is too much of it all, but the most important thing is that at least Bangaldesh is saved (Especially the students)

Even though we have a common enemy, Israel, because the Bangladeshi government bought spy programs from Israel, so you know, a common enemy

So Israel's crime includes providing weapons to a government that murdered and attacked students
