While the Great Patriotic Pole began this Thursday the electoral campaign with marches in 70 cities of Venezuela, the opposition candidates to the presidential elections of next July 28 also began their campaign deployment, as established by the National Electoral Council (CNE).

The independent candidate Benjamín Rausseo, published in his social networks a message where he assures that his “proposal is avant-garde”, and is nourished by the love he feels for Venezuela.

The former mayor of Caracas (capital), Claudio Fermín, of Soluciones para Venezuela, also used social networks to bring his messages to voters, while several members of his party toured some cities in the country.

Likewise, Javier Bertucci, of the El Cambio party, issued a message on his own from the social network X, accompanied by a text that highlights that “it is time to work together”.
