Venezuela's Presidential Election: Protests, Disputed Results, ... Pressure

Amidst the deep political tension and wave of popular protests following the announcement of the presidential election results in Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro has responded by cracking down and radicalizing the response of the Chavista regime. Security forces have responded with force, resulting in an indeterminate number of deaths, injuries, and hundreds of arrests. Opposition leader María Corina Machado has gone into hiding, claiming that the election was won by Edmundo González with evidence obtained from more than 80% of the polling stations in the country. The international community has expressed doubts about the election, but there is skepticism about the ability to pressure Maduro in the short term. Maduro has announced the creation of two maximum-security prisons to punish those protesting the allegations of electoral fraud. The National Electoral Council has yet to release detailed results, adding to the controversy surrounding the election.

USA Recognize Opposition Candidate as Winner of Venezuelan ... Election

The USA has recognized opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of the disputed presidential election in Venezuela. The government-loyal election authority has not published the results, which the G7 foreign ministers are demanding. The independent US organization Carter Center described the vote as undemocratic. Maduro has requested an investigation of the election by the Supreme Court, which is considered loyal to the government. According to Maduro, 1200 'criminals' have been arrested so far after demonstrations, and at least eleven people have been killed. Opposition leader María Corina Machado is hiding for fear of her life, and former parliamentary president Juan Guaidó was unable to prevail in 2018. The US, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico demand Venezuela release detailed election data and allow independent verification; Maduro's government faces growing pressure to prove the legitimacy of his victory. Maduro's previous 2018 reelection was rejected, but he enjoys backing from Russia, China, and Cuba. Protests and crackdowns have followed, with at least 17 deaths reported by Foro Penal and 750 arrests by the Attorney General. The opposition leader María Corina Machado is hiding for fear of her life and has called for a national march on Saturday.
