Capriles calls for international interference and says he will contest the elections

Capriles calls for international interference and says he will contest the elections

01/05/13.- "We will exhaust all internal means, but we have no doubt that this case will end up in the international community," said former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, referring to his challenge of the elections held on April 14, where Nicolas Maduro took victory with 50.61 percent of the vote.

Requesting foreign interference as a way to violate the decision of the Venezuelan people expressed at the polls on 14-A has been evident since last week when members of the party Primero Justicia (PJ) promoted their disregard of state institutions during a tour conducted in four European countries.

At that time, the national secretary PJ Thomas Guanipa, accompanied by Edmundo González, member of the International Liaison & Coordination for MUD, reported that they had visited Spain, Germany, Belgium and France, where they met with rightwing organizations to request support for their disregard of Venezuelan institutions.

Despite repeated attempts by the right to discredit the Venezuelan Electoral Authority and President Nicolas Maduro's victory with 50.61% of the vote (7,586,251 votes), all countries of the world have recognized the results of the elections except the United States.

Actually, he's just a loser. If he were beaten up for his tantrum, then he would be a sore loser.

As in Cuba.. where I noticed that the "dissidents" are now against ending the bloqueo.. thought to myself -- that's where the money is now. (Rodiles and Berta Solar)
