The Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, called for popular mobilization after the electoral fraud of Nicolás Maduro's government on July 28, 2024.
"Venezuela won and now we are going to collect. We have to stay strong, organized, and mobilized, with the pride of having achieved a historic victory on July 28 and the awareness that we will go all the way," said Machado on the social network X.
The call made by the opposition leader is for all Venezuelan families.
"This Saturday, August 3rd, we will gather as a family, with our children, grandchildren, and grandparents, in all the cities of Venezuela at 10:00 am. In Caracas, we will be on the Main Avenue of Las Mercedes, because we are going to pay tribute to each of the heroes who upheld the will of the people," he stated.
In addition, he spoke firmly against the violent repression by the regime of Nicolás Maduro and the persecution, imprisonment, and murder of individuals.
Regarding the importance of this peaceful demonstration called for the weekend, he stated: "The world will see the strength and determination of a society determined to live in Freedom. Starting this Saturday, August 3, raise the flag in your home. It is our symbol of Freedom."
On July 28, Venezuelans went out to vote en masse to put an end, through democratic means, to more than two decades of Chavista dictatorship. After the electoral day, Nicolás Maduro declared himself the winner before all the votes were counted.
The opposition denied the result announced by Maduro. María Corina stated that the candidate Edmundo González won in all states of Venezuela and that they possess the official documents that demonstrate the overwhelming victory over the Chavista regime.
The government began repressive actions against opponents, activists, electoral witnesses, and against the citizens who protested in the streets. Venezuelan authorities refuse to show the electoral documents that would be the only evidence supporting Nicolás Maduro.
