The president of the Venezuelan polling firm DatanĂĄlisis, Luis Vicente LeĂłn, dismantled MarĂa Corina Machado’s narrative about massive mobilizations in support of the opposition candidate Edmundo GonzĂĄlez Urrutia. In an interview on Wednesday, June 5, he said that the marches in support of Machado âare not even a shadowâ of the rallies headed by Henrique Capriles in 2012, and even then Capriles was defeated by Hugo ChĂĄvez in the presidential elections of 2012.
The economist added that Machado’s narrative âhurts political extremism,” since it is a strategy to make the opposition sector around Machado believe that Edmundo GonzĂĄlez is supported by a majority of the population, which Luis Vicente LeĂłn called âa rotten lie.â

A campaign of lies and interference
Previously, the leader of Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT) party, Stalin GonzĂĄlez, called out MarĂa Corina Machado for “deceitful practices.” He stated that âwe must stop deceiving the people.â
Venezuela’s PSUV Urges Opposition to Sign Agreement to Recognize Electoral Results
On multiple occasions, MarĂa Corina Machado has presented herself as the presidential candidate of the opposition, claiming that she would win the elections, despite the fact that her disqualification was ratified by the Supreme Court of Venezuela, and that Edmundo GonzĂĄlez is the real candidate of the far-right coalition Unitary Platform (PUD).
Machado has also manifested her submission to the United States government, as her secret plots with Washington have come to light, such as receiving a bribe of $3.2 million to hand over PDVSA to the US.
