٠٠:٠٣:١١Hundreds of Venezuelans and Mexican protesters flocked to the Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City to protest against re-elected Nicolas Maduro and his administration on Tuesday.
Footage shows protesters waving Venezuelan flags, holding placards and banners, including 'Mexico, speak out, Venezuela needs you', among others, chanting: 'Fraud' and 'Who are we? Venezuela! What do we want? The truth', and singing the Venezuelan national anthem. Police officers could be seen patrolling by the Angel of Independence monument.
"We, the people, are already tired. Venezuelans in Mexico want to return to our country, and Nicolas Maduro is not the way," expressed Jesus Duarte, a protester.
"We here suffer from a distance because we cannot be with them supporting them in this fight, but we trust in God and in all the countries that will help us get out of this," claimed Liz Garcia, a Venezuelan who has lived in Mexico for 9 years.
"But it's time for people and governments to say, 'Enough is enough, gentlemen.' Enough is enough. Because the injustice is huge," the protester proclaimed.
According to media outlate data, approximately 90,000 Venezuelans were 'in an irregular migratory situation' in Mexico between January and March 2024, showing a 324 percent increase from the same period the year before. Venezuela has the largest population of undocumented migrants in Mexico, at 25 percent of the total.
Earlier, the National Electoral Council reported that Maduro had 51 percent of the vote to his main challenger's 44 percent. It marks his third consecutive election victory. He has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela has governed the country since 2007.
Protests and celebrations have been seen across Venezuela and throughout the world. While Russia, China, and others congratulated Maduro, the US said it had 'serious concerns' about the vote. The opposition also claimed it won with more than 70 percent of the votes cast, although it did not provide any evidence for the claim.
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. Around 17 million people were eligible to vote.
