How do you know? The official election council certified that he won. A bunch of foreign governments and US-aligned media claimed it was rigged. But the US has been trying to regime change them since they nationalized their oil.

You're trying to paint a picture that it's just the US and it's lackeys that claim the election was rigged.

In truth, we know that the election was neither free nor fair, with the government prosecuting and oppressing the opposition.

The Venezuelan opposition made a point of providing evidence that they won, most notably official tally sheets which collaborate that they won. The government did not produce evidence or even care to refute the opposition's claims.

A lot of my friends in Venezuela told me.

You should go talk to some venezuelans.
