New Imaginary Goverment Lore

Peru recognizes Edmundo Gonzalez, opposition candidate, as elected president of Venezuela.

The CIA will probably ask Dina to remove her Foreign Relations Minister after this lol

If I was Maduro, saw flagging support and decided to steal the election I'd claim to have something like a 40 point difference against my rivals. But woops the opposition are the ones doing that.

Let's hope the next few years are transformative enough for the global economy where Venezuela can see some positive results. Because, really, let's face it this election was totally winnable for the opposition if they were just normal all liberals. Instead they chose to call for their country to be invaded and presented an economic plan of 'fear and starvation in the name of privatization'. Had they been a late 90s Brazilian neoliberal they'd have won. But no they couldn't control themselves for more than a second.

Ok but can we talk about how insane Pan Zhanle is?

Dude breaks his own 100m world record and gaps the rest of the field by a bodylength... Then a few days later, takes the 4x100m home by making up a 2m gap and then some... And in the process, does the whole leg in sub-46 seconds.

The guy is straight up 2-3% faster than everyone else. It's insane.

As for complaints about the pool being slow? Americans set new world records for the 1500m free and women's 4x100 medley, so that argument doesn't work anymore. Plus, the fastest recent 50m free is a 21.04, so it's not like it's impossible for someone to swim a sub-46 100m.

At this point the US should really consider planting some drugs on him because otherwise they're so fucked... This is as Chinese athletes are being tested as much as 7 times a day by WADA.

A study from the University of Copenhagen has examined the effects of a fee for access to interpretation in the healthcare sector that was imposed by the Liberty Party-controlled right-wing regime in 2018.

Under the scheme, patients who still require translation from Danish and into their native language after having lived in Denmark for more than three years will have to pay a fee of up to USD 242 for having an appointment with a doctor or hospital translated.

The study asked people targeted by the pooicy and 42 percent of them answered that the fee had prevented them from accessing healthcare. Many others replied that they had brought friends or family to appointments instead of a qualified interpreter. The people who experience most challenges learning Danish are disproportionately stricken by poverty and bad health.

The policy, whose actual purpose was to signal the racist credentials of the regime, was claimed to be a cost-saving measure but high bureaucratic overhead and the inability of the targeted group to pay means that it is highly unlikely that any savings has been made at all. The current succdem-controlled right-wing regime has no plans of scrapping the policy, with head of the Liberal Party-controlled health ministry Sophie Løhde making a short statement about how it is "reasonable to demand that you have learned Danish after three years here".

Although 77 out of 500 respondents claimed that the policy had incentives them to increase their efforts to learn Danish, no actual improvements in language skills has been demonstrated.

The fake news on Venezuela is hilariously ridiculous.

This is Colombia's former vice president and foreign minister, in the previous far-right regime of Iván Duque.

Her supposed "proof" that the Venezuelan opposition won the election is a WhatsApp message with made-up data 😂

The fascists can't keep their vote total straight. It's 80% here, 69% there, etc... They might as well say that they won all the votes.

Thinking about all the tweets from the opposition, Milei, Macri, etc... before the results came out.

You can use all of these tweets about respecting the will of the people and democracy, against them lol.

Confirming or denying the martyrdom of any of the al-Qassam commanders is the business of the al-Qassam Brigades' commandership and the movement's leadership.

Unless either of them announces it, no news published in the media or by any other parties can be confirmed.

Not sure if this has been posted, but "after the Gaza War" plans that US, Israel, and Gulf Arab states agreed on includes installing CIA asset Mohammed Dahlan into power. They also want him replacing Mahmoud Abbas.

I wonder if this is why Turkey is getting into beef with Israel now, because this guy was also behind the Gulen coup attempt. Either way I think the least they can do is send some Bayraktars the Lebanese way.

I'm heading to Vuvuzela rn to talk to MADMAN NiKKKolas Maduro and to tell him to step down. I have debated tankies for years on reddit so I know he'll fold within seconds of my rhetoric.

The PKK released over 1 hour of footage recently of their operations from the last year or so, including the helmêt (hêlmet, or helmet? IDK) operation in which a fortified position of the Turkish army was completely overran.

An interesting things to note is the technology the PKK has gotten fairly recently. They have drones, IR night vision thingymajiggs, and more modern rifles instead of ancient surplus AKs. Yes they were capable of shooting down helicopters in the past, but to me it nevertheless looks like they have drastically increased their technological capacity.

Also mountainous combat looks like hell on earth. I have no idea how they do it.

Although grateful for the offer, María Corina Machado does not accept refuge in Costa Rica

Probably wants to go to jail to become a martyr or something lol.

would the best plan for Iran and Hezbollah be not retaliating? Although Israel definitely deserves to be wiped off the face of existence im worried about its genocidal sugar daddy Uncle Sam deciding we should nuke them.

Iran has to have a sleeper cell in the US that could spin the block on Yair Netanyahu in Miami.

MintPress journalist and senior staff writer Alan McLeod is stuck in a hotel in Caracas, along with hundreds of international election observers and journalists, as a US backed far right mob backed by opposition figure Edmundo Gonzalez block roads and attempt a violent coup against Maduro.

Opposition mobs have blocked buses of international election observers and journalists from going to the airport and have rerouted them.

You really must love democracy if you're attacking election observers. /s

Clashes between opposition protesters and security forces around El Rosal in East Caracas. The National Guard set up a picket line to stop the march from heading westward. Super tense situation following the CNE proclaiming Maduro's electoral victory earlier today

Not many protest around downtown Caracas. It's raining in Sucre, so there aren't that many people there too and it seem peaceful in Sucre.

Today's session at the Venezuelan Supreme Court is over, with the body's electoral branch stating that the CNE, as well as all candidates and parties involved in the vote, should be ready to submit "relevant material" as required. There was no timeline established

The opposition candidates, w/ the exception of Edmundo González who did not show up, all emphasized the need for the CNE to release the detailed results as soon as possible. Enrique Márquez and Antonio Ecarri took aim at what they described as a less-than-clear judicial procedure

For his part, Maduro criticized González for not appearing at the Supreme Court session, accusing him of wanting to take power by force. He again emphasized the Socialist Party's availability to present the voting center totals in its possession.

The governments of Brazil, Colombia & Mexico released a statement calling for Venzuelan sovreignty to be respected, and for the opposition to stop their violence. Today, Mexican leader Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the OAS for its intervention in Venezuel

President Maduro offers statements from the Supreme Court of Justice after presenting an appeal for protection in the Electoral Chamber. “I have brought a contentious electoral appeal, so that the electoral room of the Supreme Court dedicates itself to resolving this attack against the electoral process, this coup attempt and clarify everything that needs to be clarified and summon all the candidate institutions and parties”

“Let them certify all the results, making a technical assessment of the results. I have told the electoral room, I am willing to be summoned, interrogated, investigated by the electoral room, as the winning electoral candidate of the elections. “I stand before justice”

"The GPP (Maduro's Coalition) is ready to present 100 percent of the electoral minutes (That they were given, it was given to all the other parties too) and I hope that the room does the same with all the candidates.”

Maduro will give another interview at the Presidential Palace later on today.
