Samuel Moncada, member of the pro-Chavez campaign committee Comando Maisanta, immediately rejected the Alvarez report, calling it a re-hash of old news that confuses speculation with evidence. He accused the opposition of being against poor people voting in elections. Moncada called the report's attack on the naturalization of foreigners "deeply xenophobic." Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel called the report "fiction" designed to cover the Coordinadora's grand defeat. The opposition would have to perform magic to justify its claims, he said, adding that the Coordinadora had entered into a fantasy world. He argued that there was no fraud on August 15 and those who allege it have no sense. He called on the opposition be sincere, serious, and capable of accepting their defeat.
