They are focused on Sunday's election in which President Nicolás Maduro declared himself the winner, even though independent exit polls show opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez as the winner. "We want the results to be recognized by the whole world," said activist Maria Teresa Morin. Most Venezuelans live in poverty even though Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and while Maduro has been in charge, millions of Venezuelans have left.Journalist and radio station owner Charito Rojas, who ran a radio station says she was forced out and is now living with her family in Miami-Dade."I had an order for capture I had to leave in 3 to 4 hours," she said.
