Havana, August 3 (RHC) -- The Cuban government rejects the interference of the United States in the Venezuelan elections by ignoring the official results of the presidential elections, announced this Friday by the National Electoral Council (CNE) of the South American country.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, on the social network X, denounced the manipulation and interference of the White House that, he said, are part of the policy of the U.S. empire to destabilize the region.

Washington, through its Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, recognized the opposition candidate Edmundo González as the winner of the elections in Venezuela on Sunday, July 28th, despite the fact that the CNE declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner with more than 51 percent of the votes.

Faced with this interventionist stance, the Bolivarian Government reacted by calling the United States the promoter of what it considered an ongoing coup d'état against the country through "a perverse maneuver" that generates a "false narrative causing street violence," the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry denounced in a statement.

On this day, the CNE officially declared the victory of Maduro's candidate by reaching 51.95 percent of the ballots, with 96.87 percent of the transmitted votes already counted.

Six million 408 thousand 844 voters voted for the current head of state, re-elected for his third consecutive term (2025-2025), and the opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzáles of the Democratic Unitary Platform obtained five million 326 thousand 102 votes, equivalent to 43.18 percent.
