Two of Maduro’s closest allies — the leftist presidents of Brazil and Colombia — have recently joined a chorus of nations, including the U.S., that have expressed deep concerns about Sunday’s presidential election, which Venezuelan electoral authorities said the president won by seven points.

I shared this article because of this. Lula supported Maduro before the election but asked Venezuela to release the detailed count of the votes. And Venezuela has not done so yet.

The opposition claims the election is rigged and the tension is high.

Maduro warned that a bloodbath would happen after the election if the opposition didn’t accept his victory.

The situation is worrying for the Venenzuelian people. But you say that how they present the situation is pure propaganda. Do you have a better link?

Thanks for the source

It is reassuring:

Secondly, the world corporate media completely distorted one of President Maduro’s phrases that if he lost the election there would be ‘a bloodbath’. What he meant was that the government programme of the extreme right was so brutal (wholesale privatisation of just about everything under the Venezuelan sun, including oil, gas, education, health, elimination of all social benefits and so forth) that would inevitably bring about a social reaction similar to the one against Milei in Argentina, thus leading a possible right-wing government in Venezuela to resort to force and repression, hence the President’s use of the term “bloodbath”.
