International Criticism of President Maduro Intensifies
Following the recent presidential election in Venezuela, criticism of President Nicolas Maduro has escalated on the international stage. The Organization of American States has condemned Maduro’s government for its crackdown on the opposition and raised concerns about the transparency of the electoral process.
Opposition Claims Victory Amid Election Controversy
Despite electoral authorities declaring Maduro the winner of the election, the opposition has claimed a landslide victory. Opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez and leader Maria Collina Machado have presented evidence showing discrepancies in the vote count, fueling protests across the country.
Calls for New Elections and International Observation
