Venezuela elections already stolen: Please choose one of the two devils (Chavistas) you know.

Vecchio: "Maduro will not steal the elections, he already stole them"

Carlos Vecchio, political coordinator of the Voluntad Popular party (VP), said on Tuesday that the May 20 election call can not be considered elections because there are no guarantees.

The political leader considered that people who still say that there is equality of conditions are "naive".

"There are no elections in Venezuela, there is a fraud. Nicolás Maduro is not going to steal the elections, he already stole them. There are naive people who say that there are the same conditions as in 2015, false," he wrote in his Twitter account.

VP's political coordinator explained that the 2015 elections were announced almost six months in advance, allowed natural candidates to participate and the electoral registry was open for several months.

This year the presidential candidates are imprisoned, in exile or disabled, said Vecchio.

This is the "choice" that Venezuelans have been allowed. Choose Maduro (PSUV) the current heir to the Chavista throne. Promises to use every bit of wealth not siphoned off from PdVSA (the state oil company) to buy votes (free food!). Or... choose the Chavista (former governor Henri Falcón, former PSUV) who insists he can buy votes (freer food!) better than Maduro.



Its really all academic. The Chavistas have shown time and again their willingness to perpetuate the fraud.

Seating TSJ (Supreme Court) illegally after 2015 election blowout.
Refusing to seat 3 National Assembly members... because PSUV merely "accused" them of fraud. No shred of evidence since.
Refusing to allow for a recall election of Maduro (Chavists illegally control election board)
Jailing/exiling opposition leadership.
Military trials for civilians. No representation. Arbitrary kidnappings by SEBIN and disappearances
Fraudulent elections (Smartmatic machines stated one number... Chavismo stated their own numbers)
The ANC (no call for re-write of Constitution by citizens... only Maduro)
Fraud elections for governors and regional offices. Only loyalists allowed to be governors, bureaucrats. New elections when non-Chavistas won
Moving election dates at Chavista whims... including threats of having AN elections years early (Super Election that would solidify Venezuela as one party state)
