In statements to local media, Duque assured that the Venezuelan election had been “manipulated” and that “the only viable way” was for a presidential vote to be given “credible with meticulous supervision by the international community.”

“It is a chronicle of an announced fraud. Once again the same thing happens, an election manipulated by a regime that controls absolutely everything, that keeps everything, that has control of the judiciary, that they have control of the electoral power, that ended private initiative and once again continues capturing regional power is a sham, a hoax, “he said.

Duque’s words come a day after the US set a position on the Venezuelan elections, in which Chavismo won the vast majority of governorships and mayors from the country. According to Washington, the electoral results do not reflect “the will of the people,” while Caracas describes the democratic day as a great defeat for “US imperialism and its allies.”
