“Nicolas, the people did not vote for you”: Capriles

“Nicolas you were not elected as president, the people did not vote for you,” said the governor of Miranda and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Henrique Capriles, during a press conference held to say that the presidential appointment in his country, registered last night, “is completely spurious.”

Nicolas Maduro is being appointed as President in charge – Henrique Capriles says that the Venezuelan people did not vote for Maduro.

He also questioned that the “now” President in charge may be a candidate for that dignity in the next election, following the death of President Hugo Chavez.

He argued that the judgment of the Supreme Court of Justice, to empower Maduro to be a candidate without leaving his office as President in charge “is an abuse that is pushing the country into a very small line that nobody wants to break“.

In time, the people shall realize and judge how the death of Chavez has been used as “propaganda for electoral purposes,” Capriles said yesterday “was a day of sorrow for the people” and called the court’s decision as “a fraud “.
