Venezuela¡¯s opposition can prove that Edmundo Gonzalez won Sunday¡¯s election, according to Maria Corina Machado, who led the campaign against President Nicolas Maduro.
She told supporters at her party¡¯s campaign headquarters on Monday evening that the opposition has enough of the ¡°actas,¡± or voting tabulations, to prove they won the election. Last night, they had access to about 40% of them, and now they say they have over 70%. The figures show a categoric and ¡°irreversible¡± triumph: 6.2 million votes for Gonzalez compared to 2.8 million for Maduro.
¡°Effectively, what happened was that the regime slept very worried and we did not sleep,¡± Machado said to a cheerful crowd. ¡°We were very busy and that¡¯s the reason why we have what we have here today.¡±
