President Nicolas Maduro and opposition rival Edmundo Gonzalez both claimed victory in Venezuela's presidential election that millions in the long-suffering nation saw as their best shot to end 25 years of single-party rule.

On the streets of Caracas and Venezuelans living outside the country was a mix of anger, tears and loud pot-banging to the announcement of results by the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council.

"Maduro is a dog and he won’t let go of power. Let go of power and allow us to be free. Let us return home, let us return home," one Venezuelan living in Argentina said.

    What happened to Juan Guaido? Trudeau and Freeland told us that he was the president back in 2019.

  • I'm expecting this EXACT scenario to happen in 99 days when our Southern neighbors have their election. Only in that case we have a front row view to their civilWar and will be given no choice but to choose sides.

    Venezuela will always be left to suffer until they give all the control of the oil to America.

    Both claim victory but only Maduro was actually declared the winner by the relevant authorities. The woman at the end is a terrible actress.
