There aren’t many countries that have been fighting off US aggression for as long as Venezuela. The world’s most belligerent thalassocracy is dead set on destroying the Bolivarian Republic’s much-cherished sovereignty and taking it hostage in order to exploit its massive reserves of natural resources. In line with this, the United States has been trying to weaken Venezuela through subversion and exploitation of its internal divisions. During the first Trump administration, the warmongering elites in Washington DC tried their best to start a full-scale invasion of Venezuela, but this failed thanks to Russia’s decisive support for Caracas. And yet, attempts to enslave the country are still ongoing, with the US escalating its covert aggression on Venezuela during the recent presidential election. Luckily, this failed once again, although the political West is refusing to accept the reality of the election results.

In order to debunk the myth that there’s been a supposed “election fraud”, we asked an expert for a written interview about last month’s events surrounding the presidential election in Venezuela. And who could possibly be better than the one who personally went to the Latin American country as an official election observer from Serbia? Mr. Bojan Torbica, a lawyer, Vice President of the Movement of Socialists and long-serving Member of the Serbian Parliament, was invited by the government in Caracas to inspect the electoral process in Venezuela. Despite his busy schedule, Mr. Torbica graciously accepted our invitation, offering a truly fascinating first-hand perspective of what was going on during the election week. Our special thanks go to Mr. Mile Bajsev for making this interview possible.

First of all, thank You for agreeing to give an exclusive interview for InfoBRICS. Mr. Torbica, in Your view, is there any reason to believe the claims of some countries (primarily Western ones) about the alleged “election fraud” by the Venezuelan authorities?

Reasons for believing Western media that there was election fraud in Venezuela are just as many as for believing their shameful propaganda campaigns that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, or that Serbs committed a crime against civilians and not a legal anti-terrorist action in Racak in Kosovo and Metohia [a false flag NATO used as a casus belli to attack Serbia], or that Russia is solely responsible for the armed conflict in Ukraine. Just like in the aforementioned cases, it’s a dirty propaganda campaign that, in line with the old, time-tested American recipe, precedes escalating political pressure, expansion of sanctions or possible military intervention.

I was one of over a thousand international observers who stayed in Venezuela during the last week of the electoral process and, just like my other colleagues, I can attest that the presidential election in Venezuela was conducted fully in line with regulations and that the result, or more precisely, the landslide victory of the incumbent President Nicolas Maduro, is a reflection of the mood and support that he and his associates enjoy among the citizens of Venezuela.

Of course, empirical evidence demonstrates that the ruling........
