Venezuelans across the globe responded to a call from their country’s political opposition on Saturday by participating in demonstrations to defend the opposition’s claim to victory in last month’s disputed presidential election against President Nicolás Maduro. The protests took place in cities like Tokyo, Sydney, and Mexico City, as the opposition coalition sought to bring awareness to what they believe is the true outcome of the election.

One of the main opposition candidates, Edmundo González, received overwhelming support from Venezuelans who are seeking a change in leadership and an end to the repression campaign orchestrated by Maduro and his allies. With flags waving and chants echoing through the streets, Venezuelans made their voices heard in support of González and the opposition’s call for a fair election.

Leading the charge, opposition leader María Corina Machado rallied supporters in Caracas, declaring that every vote must be respected and recognized. González, in a social media post, reaffirmed their victory and urged the world to acknowledge the truth behind the election results.

In Mexico City, protesters gathered at the Monument to the Revolution, demanding freedom and chanting against Maduro’s regime. The lack of transparency in the electoral process has raised concerns among Venezuelans both inside and outside the country, with many questioning the validity of the official results.

The opposition’s push for international support to uphold the true election results has gained momentum, with calls for governments to intervene and pressure Maduro to acknowledge the overwhelming support for González.

As Venezuelans continue to fight for democracy and freedom, the challenges they face against a repressive regime only strengthen their resolve to pursue a better future for their country.

The protests are a testament to the unwavering spirit of the Venezuelan people and their determination to bring about positive change in the face of adversity.
