Maria Corina Machado asked to gather in assembly in Caracas

• The opposition leader called for citizen assemblies to be held in all cities of the country to defend the minutes that, according to her command, give victory to Edmundo González Urrutia

Opposition leader María Corina Machado called on citizens to gather on Tuesday, July 30, in citizen assemblies to protest the results of the presidential elections. This is a way to pressure the National Electoral Council (CNE) to verify and publish all the voting records, which, she said, favor opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia.

In Caracas, the rally will be held at 11:00 am in front of the headquarters of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in the Parque Ávila tower on Francisco de Miranda Avenue, in the Chacao municipality.

“Dear Venezuelans, tomorrow we will meet; as a family, organized, demonstrating the determination we have to make every vote count and to defend the truth,” Machado wrote on her X account.

After the CNE proclaimed Nicolás Maduro the winner of the elections in results questioned by the opposition and the international community, multiple protests were reported throughout the country, with at least two people dead in Táchira and Aragua, as well as several people arrested and injured. In this regard, Machado and González called on citizens to demonstrate peacefully and avoid violence in defense of their results.

“There is a lot of indignation and we understand that, but we must remain calm and serene so that we can achieve victory without any regrets,” González Urrutia said in this regard.

For this reason, during a press conference at the Vente Venezuela headquarters on July 29, Machado asked Venezuelans to hold citizen assemblies in all cities of the country. These will be held from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm to address the opposition command’s evidence of González Urrutia’s victory, confirmed by witnesses from the 600 K Network. Machado emphasized that once the events conclude, participants must return peacefully to their homes.
