The designated Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel has once again expressed his support on social media for Nicolás Maduro's proclamation as the winner of the elections held last Sunday, July 28, and Cubans have quickly criticized the adherence to what the majority of the international community considers a fraud.
"I saw your appearance before the press on teleSURtv, and I congratulate you once again, brother Nicolás Maduro. The imperial recognition of the losing candidate is another proof of who pulls the strings of the conspiracy against the Bolivarian Revolution. Your devastating denunciation exposed them," wrote the president on the social network X (formerly known as Twitter).
However, Díaz-Canel's words have generated a critical reaction among Cuban supporters who are asking him to demand that his "friend" "show the records" that declare him the victor 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 is giving a congratulatory pat to the Venezuelan, in Cuba "they are eating from the garbage; there are blackouts of 20 hours; there is no fuel, and the entire island is a prison."
An internet user asked the Cuban ruler several questions about what he was watching. "Demolishing denunciation? What were you watching? What he did was talk a bunch of nonsense and blame half the world for what is happening in Venezuela. Really, doesn't it shame you to lie like that? Don't you have any decency left?" he questioned.
The Cuban government is one of the few that recognizes Maduro's victory in the elections held on July 28. It does so alongside allied countries of the Chavista regime such as China, Russia, Qatar, Iran, Nicaragua, Honduras, among a few others.
A few days ago, the president said that the opponents of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela are "seasonal rioters" and enemies of Our America.
Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) came out to deny the information that linked personnel movements and documentation of the regime to Caracas.
Despite the strong protests and allegations of fraud from the opposition, on Friday, the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela 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 participation was 12,386,669 voters (59.97%), with a total of 12,335,884 valid votes.
Of them, Maduro obtained 6,408,844 for 51.95 percent, according to the entity.
The CNE announced that Edmundo González obtained 5,326,104 votes, representing 43.18 percent.
This Saturday, the opposition led by María Corina Machado protested again in several cities across the country.
