Thousands of opposition supporters took to the streets in Venezuela to protest the presidential election results, claiming their candidate's victory amid widespread allegations of fraud. The situation escalated with the government severing diplomatic relations with Peru and increasing repression against opposition leaders.
The Chavista regime, led by Nicolás Maduro, has faced severe criticism from the international community regarding the legitimacy of the election results. Calls for transparency and independent electoral oversight have intensified as the opposition continues to mobilize against the authoritarian government.
The arrest orders for key opposition figures, including María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, highlight the regime's authoritarian grip on power and the ongoing struggle for democracy in Venezuela.
