From the article-

Los que elegimos a Edmundo González Urrutia como legítimo presidente de Venezuela, quien debe asumir de inmediato su mandato constitucional y ser reconocido como comandante en jefe de la Fuerza Armada Nacional por todos los oficiales y soldados que la integran

We elect Edmundo González Urrutia as the legitimate president of Venezuela, who must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as commander-in-chief of the National Armed Forces by all the officers and soldiers who comprise it.
