Venezuelan President and candidate for re-election, Nicolás Maduro, said this Thursday (18), during a rally in the capital, Caracas, that the country will fall into a “fratricidal bloodbath” if his party does not win the dispute scheduled for the 28th.
“The fate of Venezuela in the 21st century depends on our victory on July 28. If they do not want Venezuela to fall into a bloodbath, into a fratricidal civil war, the product of the fascists, let us guarantee the greatest success, the greatest victory in the electoral history of our people,” said Nicolás Maduro this Thursday (18).
The statement comes shortly after Venezuelan justice arrested an aide to Maduro’s main opponent, Maria Corina Machado. The United States released a statement on Thursday condemning the detention. Earlier this week, the NGO Laboratorio de Paz released a report stating that, since the beginning of the electoral period, Venezuela has detained 71 opponents or advisers to opponents.
