On the recent, fraudulent Venezuelan Elections

I feel like I eventually have to talk about this but I can't at the moment. I do, however, expect people to know what is going on in the country now so I have compiled some pieces of information, both visual and written for you to learn about the current political situation in Venezuela. Some are in English and some in Spanish:

HERE's a video link (Spanish) to Jaime Bayly's interview with Ana Mercedez Dias on how the elections on April 14 were illegitimate and ultimately stolen for the benefit of Maduro. She also provides us with a little analysis of what the near future may bring for Venezuelans and Maduro's [illegitimate] presidency.

This next piece is an article (Spanish) from Correo el Caroni in Southern Venezuela, and for which my dad was interviewed to give an analysis on the protests on Monday against Maduro's [illegitimate] election, it's much more detailed, social, political, economical and analytical of the Chavista regimen and the previous political environment that produced it in the 90s and the current [illegitimate] election of Maduro.

Good and somewhat neutral summary from the NYTimes on the past few days in Venezuela (English):
Here's another from yesterday's times on the [whack ass] victory of Maduro and Capriles' refusal to accept it.

Peace,
