The traces of the CIA in the unrest after the elections in Venezuela

Following the announcement of the results of the Venezuelan presidential election on Monday and the victory of “Nicolas Maduro” for the third time, opposition supporters created unrest in the center of Caracas, the capital of this country.

Venezuela’s president, in response to the rebellion after holding the elections, said that the opponents of the government intend to create a political crisis in this country, but they will not achieve their goal.

The “Geopolitical Economy” news base writes in a report: “Venezuela’s post-election poll, which claims the opposition won, was designed by an organization that has close ties to the US government and the CIA and works for the government’s media propaganda. »

This report was published while the US State Department, which has supported many coup attempts in Venezuela, does not recognize Maduro’s victory, and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has questioned the results of this election.

This research institute called “Edison Research” has also collaborated with the BBC.

In addition to Venezuela, this institute has already conducted questionable polls in Ukraine, Georgia and Iraq; Areas of the world that are considered “highly strategic” by the US Department of State and include Washington’s relentless intervention.

The Edison Research Institute is managed by Rob Farbman, the company’s executive vice president. His name was also mentioned in the press release of the post-election poll in Venezuela.

Farbman manages Edison’s international research with expertise in the West Asia and Africa for clients including the BBC, Voice of America, West Asia Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty.

The New York Times newspaper in 1977 described these media as “international propaganda media created by the CIA”, and also emphasized that the investment and funding of Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty was provided by the CIA.

Venezuela’s National Electoral Council declared Maduro the winner of the presidential race on Monday after 61-year-old Maduro won 51.2 percent of the vote. The second runner-up in the election and Maduro’s main rival was Edmundo Gonzalez, who won 44.2 percent of the vote.

Maduro will begin his third term as president on January 10, 2025. However, María Corina Machado, head of the Venezuelan opposition, claimed that González is the winner of the election according to the opposition of the Venezuelan government.
