His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

    Because Maduro is screwing with our allies in South America. But also because supporting actual free and fair elections is the right thing to do.

    And you’re so hyped up on this America whataboutism you’ve missed that the majority of South America is also calling bullshit.

    Is Panama interfering? Colombia? Peru? Qatar? The UN? They’ve all been critical of this election too. Or is it just when the US is critical?

      Was the election fair or unfair?

      I don’t know. And anyone claiming they do is not objective.

      But we do know that the U.S. has a history of interfering in elections in South America, especially in Venezuela in 2002 and 2019. Knowing this, it is reasonable to believe that this election was manipulated for American interests. Until more information is revealed, it’s just a case of “he said, she said.”

        Dude, the opposition party already emailed everyone the literal receipts.

        And no it’s not reasonable to just assume the US did some mumbo jumbo without evidence.

          The AP could not independently verify the authenticity of the 24,532 tally sheets provided by the opposition.

          Believe what you want, but I’ll wait for more information before making conclusions.

            Right, how much more information do you need? You want to bring America into this as a whataboutism? This is the exact same kind of stuff America says about Israel. And it doesn’t smell any better here.

              The information provided by time, and the investigations from international organizations like the UN.
