The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, stressed that the electoral defeat of Donald Trump was caused by a powerful American popular movement, whose origin was after the assassination of George Floyd.
“This year a powerful social, ethnic diversity, cultural identity and political movement of the United States arose in that country. With the brutal assassination of George Floyd, a wave of gigantic protests and demonstrations arose and then a powerful movement of public opinion of the people of the United States broke out”, said the President.
The Head of State stressed that these social movements saw how Trump turned his back on the American people promoting, with his arrogance, racism and the assassinations of African American citizens.
The mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, which currently continues to plague North American families, which do not have a health system to help them cope with the health crisis is added to the list of errors of the Trump administration allowing “that powerful movement to gradually fold to the candidacy of Joe Biden” he underlined.
In the opinion of the Venezuelan President, Biden has recognized in his speech “the diversity of the political and social coalition that made him president of the United States, recognized the Afro-American people, the indigenous people, recognized women, social movements in his speech.”As well as the various sectors that make up the North American nation.
Along these lines, he emphasized that “the Democratic party has not won, Donald Trump has lost and Joe Biden has received the vote of hope from the vast majority of Americans who want changes in the United States, changes in the world and an end to interventionism in the countries.”
The Venezuelan dignitary reiterated his call for dialogue and respect between both nations. “We will work to resume decent, sincere, direct channels of dialogue between the government of the United States and the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela that I preside.”
Biden, who was Vice-president during Barack Obama’s administration, broke the 270-vote mark needed to take over the White House Oval Office, after regaining support for the Democratic option in key states. However, Donald Trump’s campaign team announced that he will not acknowledge Biden’s victory by pointing out an alleged fraud in the vote counting. In fact, this Saturday he assured that “the elections are far from over” and that he will take the case to the court.
