In reply to the discussion: Capriles refuses to recognize the election results [View all]pa28
(6,145 posts)12. I'd want a recount too but he's already calling Maduro "illegitimate"
At best Capriles is being kind of wuss about the results. At worst he would seem to be setting to table for revolt or foreign intervention in order to reverse a democratic and fair election.
Maybe next time he should wait for the results of the recount before shooting off like that. Or better yet just have a good cry. I think he'd feel better.
