(1,954 posts)Yes. He won. No, he didn't cheat. Audits were made, international observers were there. No major incidents happened during the voting. International observers were there. Almost all countries accepted the result. Not a single credible evidence of anything significant was made, although Capriles, following a script written months before, speaks about fraud and about him as the winner without any, any evidence, let alone proof, of what he claims. There's no proof of ballots being burn, and again no evidence of such a thing. Claims about this were proven false.
Venezuela is a truly democratic country, therefore they will be what they want to be. I believe they want to be a free, independent, caring and just society. And they made the right decision to achieve that. The Venezuelan opposition has exposed its class hatred, it's social prejudice by attacking public centers the poorest and the working class need, by threatening the health teams that serve the locals who need help, by burning houses of people who vote for the one they preferred, by attacking public school buses. By killing. Capriles, his right-wing party and the powers behind him are not a choice.
