The United States has declared opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the true winner of the recent Venezuela presidential election, rejecting incumbent President Nicolás Maduro’s claim to victory. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken issued a statement challenging Venezuela’s official election results, stating that the National Electoral Council’s declaration of Maduro’s win is “deeply flawed” and lacks credibility.

According to Blinken, opposition-published tally sheets from over 80% of polling stations indicate that González won by an “insurmountable margin.” This assertion is reportedly supported by independent observers and exit polls. Despite challenges, Blinken commended the 12 million Venezuelans who exercised their right to vote and dismissed Maduro’s allegations against opposition leaders.

In addition to declaring González as the rightful winner, Blinken called for the release of individuals who were arrested for peacefully participating in the election. He also urged for a peaceful transition of power in Venezuela.

This move by the US further complicates the already tense political situation in Venezuela. The country has been grappling with a deep economic crisis, hyperinflation, and widespread poverty under Maduro’s administration. The disputed election results only add to the instability and uncertainty facing the Venezuelan people.

It remains to be seen how Maduro will respond to the US declaration and whether it will have any impact on the political landscape in Venezuela. As the international community continues to monitor the situation, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and peaceful resolution to uphold democratic principles and protect the rights of the Venezuelan people.
