My Thoughts On The Venezuelan Elections
Venezuela had presidential elections on July 28, 2024 that were filled with all sorts of controversy.
Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia claimed a victory against sitting President Nicholas Maduro. On July 29 , the National Electoral Council — Venezuela’s principal electoral body — officially declared Maduro the winner after he allegedly acquired roughly 52% of the vote.
By contrast, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado asserted that González had picked up 70% of the vote. She cited multiple independent exit polls, such as American-based Edison Research and Venezuelan-based Meganalisis, where González picked up 65% of the vote in both polls.
Regardless, the United States government recognized Gonzalez’s victory on August 2 and has deemed Maduro as the illegitimate president of Venezuela.

For those who are unaware, I’m originally from Venezuela. However, I’ve lived most of my life in the United States. I have still maintained some degree of contact with relatives there and have followed the politics casually.
At one point in my political journey, when I was much more of a doctrinaire libertarian, I covered Venezuela extensively. However, I’ve stopped covering the topic as I’ve transitioned towards being more of an identitarian nationalist.
Nevertheless, Venezuelan politics still interests me from a hobbyist perspective.
I dropped a Twitter thread about a week ago highlighting my thoughts on the recent Venezuelan elections.
For those who didn’t catch my thread, here you go:

TBH I believe there was fraud but it’s not the US’s business. Let’s be brutally honest, pretty much all western governments have significant vote rigging and election interference anyways. So these countries have no right to be lecturing other countries about election integrity.
I only think the US should ever get involved in the hypothetical case that external actors such as China or Russia set up military installations there. Basically, Monroe Doctrine.
Outside of that I’m pretty hands off with regards to Venezuela.
I was hoping for a bit more thoughts. Like was electoral fraud, a significant part of the official results. And if so is it any of America's anyway.
