5,823,728 votes, was the figure with which Tibisay Lucena, president of the National Electoral Center, announced that President Nicolás Maduro was "re-elected" in the fraudulent elections convened by the constituent national assembly. With a position of firm rejection of the international community before the process, Chile, Panama and the United States were the first countries that did not know the outcome of the process. Marco Rubio, a US senator, rejected the results of the "presidential elections" and maintained that Maduro claims to have received more votes from the people who attended the electoral process. "The dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro has done as expected, carried out an illegitimate 'election', Maduro says he received more votes than the total number of people who actually voted," said Rubio. Rubio said Monday that the international community and the United States will respond to the results of the "presidential elections." For the international community and the Frente Amplio Venezuela Libre, this electoral process is fraudulent and illegitimate because it was convened by the constituent national assembly. The Chilean government said it does not recognize the validity of this electoral process "that lacks all legitimacy and does not meet any of the minimum and necessary requirements to be a democratic and transparent election, in accordance with international standards," reads a statement from the Chilean Chancellery. The government led by Sebastián Piñera condemned the actions carried out by Maduro, since he does not respect the elementary freedoms of the citizens that they narrated have unleashed a "political tragedy." The government of Panama affirmed that the process was neither democratic nor participative "The government of the Republic of Panama does not recognize the results of the elections held this Sunday, May 20, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, because it does not consider the process democratic or participatory," reads a statement issued by the Panamanian government.
