Thousands of political ideology of Chavismo supporters took to the streets of Caracas on Saturday to celebrate the second month since Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro won the presidential election.

Footage shows demonstrators marching with Venezuelan flags and portraits of Maduro reading: 'Maduro is not leaving'.

The demonstrators declared their support for the current Venezuelan President and accused the opposition of attempting to gain power through force.

"Sending people to kill people, killing people. That is, harming people. And then today we defend our homeland, and we defend ourselves from them because they have endorsed the United States. Why? Because the United States here received an exorbitant amount of money," Nelson Rodriguez claimed.

"There was a change in the country, in which we feel proud," Jorge Maneiro added. "We feel strongly Venezuelan. Because the Yankees are not coming back here.

Meanwhile, followers of opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, and the candidate of Venezuela's main opposition coalition, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, reportedly held protest at the same time in the other part of the capital with similar demonstrations taking place in other cities around the world.

Machado has gone in hiding since last August due to fear for her safety, according to media, while Gogzales sought asylum in Spain in early September.

A warrant was issued in Venezuela for Gogzales' arrest, accusing him of 'usurpation' of public duties, falsification of documents and instigation of disobedience and system sabotage as part of a criminal investigation into the July election.

Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek Saab said that 'safe conduct' had been agreed for Gonzalez to travel to Spain although Madrid claimed no official discussions had taken place. However, Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares confirmed he would be granted asylum.

Venezuela's National Electoral Council reported that Nicolas Maduro won a historic third term with 51 percent of the vote to his primary challenger's 44 percent in the presidential elections. 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 it did not provide any evidence. Maduro has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela has governed the country since 2007.
