U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after dictator Nicols Maduro held fraudulent legislative elections yesterday. Earlier this year, Rubio sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antnio Guterres, urging him to support the people of Venezuela and the return of democratic order in the nation ahead of these fraudulent elections.Following yesterday's fraudulent legislative elections by the Maduro regime, it is clear that the Venezuelan people have refused to lose their dignity or their aspirations of living in a nation free from tyranny and oppression, Rubio said. Not even using the exploitation of food products, through the regime's CLAP boxes, as a political weapon forced Venezuelans to cast their vote. The large abstention and empty poll sites are signs that the people of Venezuela are fed up with the regime's manipulation and constant lies. These sham elections have zero credibility and demonstrated that the corrupt narco-regime is more isolated than ever. The message from democracies worldwide must be loud and clear: these so-called elections' are not only a farce, they are also maneuvers by the dictator to silence Interim President Juan Guaid and the members of Venezuela's democratically elected National Assembly.Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues.Related: RUBIO SOBRE LAS ELECCIONES LEGISLATIVAS ILEGTIMAS POR PARTE DE MADUROWashington, D.C.

Ni siquiera el uso de productos alimenticios como un arma poltica, a travs de las cajas CLAP, oblig a los venezolanos a emitir su voto. La gran abstencin y los centros de votacin vacos son seales que el pueblo de Venezuela est saciado de la manipulacin y las constantes mentiras del rgimen. Estas elecciones falsas tienen cero credibilidad y demostraron que el narco-rgimen corrupto est ms aislado que nunca. El mensaje de las democracias en todo el mundo debe ser claro: estas llamadas 'elecciones' no son solo una farsa, tambin son maniobras del dictador para silenciar al presidente interino Juan Guaid y a los miembros de la Asamblea Nacional electos democrticamente en Venezuela".Rubio es el presidente del Subcomit de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.Relacionado: | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
