The designated Cuban leader, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has once again expressed his support on social media for Nicolás Maduro's declaration as the winner of the elections held last Sunday, July 28. Cubans have not hesitated to criticize this allegiance to what the majority of the international community views as a fraud.
"I saw your appearance before the press on teleSURtv, and I want to congratulate you again, brother Nicolás Maduro. The imperial recognition of the losing candidate is yet another proof of who pulls the strings of the conspiracy against the Bolivarian Revolution. Your damning denunciation exposed them," wrote the president on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
However, Díaz-Canel's words have sparked a critical reaction among his Cuban supporters, who are demanding that he ask his "friend" to "show the records" that declare him the winner of the electoral contest.
"The message from Havana is very clear: Maduro, deny everything and buy time... it has worked for us for 65 years," shared a user in the comments section.
Another person wrote that while Díaz-Canel gives a congratulatory pat to the Venezuelan, in Cuba "they are eating from the dumpsters; there are power outages lasting 20 hours; there is no fuel, and the entire island is a prison."
An internet user asked the Cuban leader several questions about what he was watching. “A devastating accusation? What were you watching? All you did was talk a lot of nonsense and blame half the world for what’s happening in Venezuela. Honestly, don’t you feel ashamed to lie like that? Don’t you have any decency left?” he questioned.
The Cuban government is one of the few that acknowledges Maduro's victory in the elections held on July 28. It does so alongside allied countries of the Chavista regime, including China, Russia, Qatar, Iran, Nicaragua, Honduras, and a few others.
A few days ago, the leader stated that the opponents of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela are merely "transient rioters" and enemies of Our America.
Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) issued a statement denying reports that linked personnel movements and documentation from the regime to Caracas.
Despite the strong protests and allegations of fraud from the opposition, on Friday, Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) confirmed Nicolás Maduro's victory in last Sunday's elections, with 96.87% of the ballots counted.
The president of the CNE, Elvis Amoroso, an ally of the regime, reported that the voter turnout was 12,386,669 electors (59.97%), with a total of 12,335,884 valid votes.
Of them, Maduro received 6,408,844 votes, accounting for 51.95 percent, according to the entity.
The CNE announced that Edmundo González received 5,326,104 votes, accounting for 43.18 percent.
This Saturday, the opposition led by María Corina Machado once again protested in several cities across the country.
