Confusion in Venezuela. The outgoing president, Nicolas Maduro, claims re-election. His opponent disputes this victory and denounces possible fraud.
Barely re-elected, Nicolas Maduro is the subject of widespread protests. The opposition rejects the results of the Venezuelan presidential election and claims to have won 70% of the votes.I want to tell all Venezuelans and the whole world, Venezuela has a new elected president and it is Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia“, shouted the leader of the opposition, Maria Corina Machado.
Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, a diplomat little known to the general public, had called on voters to monitor the counting. Nine Latin American countries are calling for a complete review of the presidential results.
