Venezuelans across the world have responded to a call from their country’s political opposition and taken to the streets to defend the faction’s claim to victory over President Nicolás Maduro in last month’s disputed presidential election. The demonstrations in Tokyo, Sydney, Mexico City and several other cities were an effort by the main opposition coalition to make visible what they insist is the real outcome of the election. Protesters also called on governments to throw their support behind candidate Edmundo González and express support to Venezuelans who are fearful in their home country ...

As protests continue in Venezuela, the European Union and several world leaders have called for further verification of the results. In a statement on Sunday, the EU said reports from international election observation missions show that the elections "did not meet international standards of electoral integrity". The statement has come as a bitter pill to swallow for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who lashed out at the European institutions and the EU's High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell. "The European Union brings out its cantaleta, the same European Union that recogn...

Thousands rallied in the streets of Venezuela’s capital on Saturday to support an opposition candidate who they believe won the presidential election by a landslide. Authorities have declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner of last Sunday’s national elections in Venezuela but have yet to produce voting tallies to confirm his win. Maduro’s government arrested hundreds of opposition supporters who had taken to the streets in the days after the disputed poll, and he has also threatened to lock up opposition leader María Corina Machado and her hand-picked presidential candidate, Edmundo Gonzál...

US organisation The Carter Centre, which works to advance democracy and human rights, has announced it was unable to verify the results of Venezuela's controversial presidential election. The body blamed authorities for a “complete lack of transparency” in declaring Nicolas Maduro the winner without providing any individual polling tallies. The statement given on Tuesday night by the Atlanta-based group is perhaps the harshest rebuke yet of Venezuela's chaotic election process - not least because it comes from one of just a handful of outside groups invited by the Maduro government to observe ...

The European Union has joined the growing chorus of voices demanding greater transparency in Venezuela to ascertain the legitimate winner of the presidential elections held on Sunday, which Brussels considers "marred by numerous flaws and irregularities." However, calls for new sanctions are "premature" at this stage, a spokesperson said on Tuesday, insisting on the need to "find a way out of the political crisis." "The discussions among member states continue. We're also engaged in interactions with partners, both at the national, regional and international level, to assess the whole process ...

Venezuela's opposition candidate Edmundo González on Monday said that his campaign has the proof it needs to show he won the country's disputed election whose victory electoral authorities handed to President Nicolás Maduro. The announcement came as thousands of people across Venezuela protested in the hours after Maduro was declared winner. In the capital, Caracas, the protests were mostly peaceful, but when dozens of riot gear-clad national police officers blocked the caravan, a brawl broke out. Police used tear gas to disperse the protesters, some of whom threw stones and other objects at o...

Nicolás Maduro has been declared as the winner in Venezuela’s presidential election, even as his opponents were preparing to dispute the results. That decision sets up a high-stakes showdown that will determine whether the South American nation transitions away from one party rule. Shortly after midnight on Sunday, the National Electoral Council said Maduro secured 51% of the vote, overcoming the main opposition candidate, Edmundo González, who garnered 44%. However, the electoral authority, which is controlled by Maduro loyalists, didn't immediately release the tallies from each of the 30,000...

Venezuela's electoral authorities on Tuesday revoked an invitation for a European Union mission to observe the country's upcoming presidential election, in which President Nicolás Maduro is seeking reelection. The head of the National Electoral Council, Elvis Amoroso, cited economic sanctions imposed by the 27-nation bloc as the reason for withdrawing the invitation. The EU had not yet accepted the invite that was extended earlier this year. Amoroso said Tuesday's decision is intended to show that EU representatives "are not welcome to come here to our country while the genocidal sanctions aga...
