OPPOSITION CALL. The remains of a statue of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez destroyed and burned during a protest against the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro are pictured in Mariara, Carabobo State, Venezuela, on Thursday. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said he was willing to share evidence of his election win, with international pressure mounting for him to back up a disputed victory that has sparked deadly protests.
The opposition has released a large set of voting data it says shows him defeating Maduro by a wide margin, as pre-election polls had suggested. Numerous nations, including Brazil, the United States, and the European Union, have demanded Venezuelan authorities release the detailed data, with the White House warning Wednesday that the international community’s patience was running out.
“We offered the regime to democratically accept its defeat and move forward in negotiations to ensure a peaceful transition,” Machado said on X.Brian Nichols, the top US diplomat for Latin America, said that the polling results released by the opposition provided “irrefutable evidence” that Maduro lost “by millions of votes.”
Maduro’s previous reelection, in 2018, was rejected as a sham by dozens of Latin American and other countries, including the United States and members of the European Union. Venezuela has withdrawn diplomatic staff from eight critical Latin American countries and asked envoys from those nations to leave its territory.
