More than 300 people gathered at the former headquarters of the National Congress of Chile, Santiago, to form the "Group of Friends of Venezuela" in Chile. It is the second initiative of this kind, after the creation of the "Group of Friends of Venezuela" in Peru two weeks ago, they are driven by the Venezuelan opposition through their representatives in the countries of the region.

Venezuelans living in the southern country took advantage of the visit of a delegation of deputies of the National Assembly, composed of Carlos Ramos, of Un Nuevo Tiempo, and independents Maria Corina Machado and Eduardo Gomez Sigala, to launch the movement.

Machado explained that it is a collective composed not only of Venezuelans, but also of local activists and journalists, academics and politicians who identify with the opposition's complaints regarding the outcome of the presidential elections on April 14. The idea is to replicate it in all the countries of the region.

...

In Chile, the 14 April vote favored Capriles with 92.07% (1,185 votes) over Nicolas Maduro with 7.84% (101 votes).

And in Disneyland in 2008 Mickey Mouse won the election over President Obama by a huge margin. That still makes Mr Obama President and makes Mr Mouse's carping bullshit.
