04:13Thousands of protesters rallied in the streets of Buenos Aires to rally against the Venezuelan election results on Saturday.
Footage shows Venezuelan expats waving Venezuelan flags, holding placards, and banners, including 'When fear dies, freedom is born' and 'Enough of the dictatorship', and chanting: 'Justice and freedom, 'Enough of the repression'. Protesters could also be seen drumming and burning flares.
"Maduro said that there was going to be a bloodbath, and he is actually doing it. He is going out to attack and oppress the people to try to perpetuate himself and create chaos," claimed Lormis Rojas, a protester.
Jefferson Munoz, a demonstrator, noted that most of the Venezuelans abroad cannot go back to meet their families as many have to emigrate to seek a better future.
"Enough of repression, enough of poverty, enough of people having to emigrate to seek a better future when that future should be within their own country," expressed another protester, Geraldine.
A series of protests against Maduro's victory in the presidential election have taken place around the world, including Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Spain.
Venezuela's National Electoral Council reported that Nicolas Maduro had won a third term with 51 percent of the vote to his primary challenger's 44 percent in last Sunday's presidential elections. Following the result – which the opposition rejected – Maduro claimed a 'fascist coup' was being attempted by opposition figures with links to the US.
Russia, China, and others congratulated Maduro after his re-election, while the US said it had 'serious concerns' about the vote. The opposition claimed it won with more than 70 percent of the votes cast, although did not provide any evidence.
Maduro's main opponent was Edmundo Gonzalez, a 74-year-old former diplomat. Opposition frontrunner Maria Corina Machado backed Gonzalez after she was banned from taking part amid corruption allegations, which she denies.
Maduro has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela has governed the country since 2007. Around 17 million people were eligible to vote.
