Voting in Caracas

Maduro asks for respect for the results

After learning of the referendum, President Nicolas Maduro respected the results and celebrated his party’s victory. “My call to all winners and non-winners is to respect the results. It is a political dialogue, it is a national reunification,” Maduro said from Miraflores Presidential Palace.

In his opinion, the success of the PSUV was possible because of the “diligence” and “honesty” of the militancy in their work. Finally, he expressed the hope of working hand in hand “in conversation” with victorious opponents in Julia, Nueva Esparta and Cojedes.

For his part, Chavismo’s number two, Diostato Cabello, along with that will, promised that its results would be reflected in the mayors.

“Here is the whole of Venezuela, this is the political map of our country,” Cabello said, confirming the decision by showing a red-painted map of his country, with the exception of three states won by anti-Savista protesters. Guarantees peace and tranquility “.
