The fear that Venezuela is on the verge of civil war is growing as President Nicolás Maduro, seeking a third term, has been declared the winner in Venezuela's presidential election amid opposition claims of irregularities. The Venezuelan opposition, represented by Edmundo González, claimed victory after Maduro was declared the winner by the electoral council. González, who was selected in April as a last-minute stand-in for Machado, has been at the forefront of the opposition's efforts to contest the election results. Machado was blocked from running for any office for 15 years by the Maduro-controlled Supreme Tribunal of Justice, adding to the controversy surrounding the election.
The opposition has accused Maduro and his supporters of manipulating the electoral process to ensure his victory. The claims of irregularities include allegations of voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, and manipulation of the electoral council. These accusations have fueled fears of widespread unrest and potential violence as the country grapples with the fallout from the disputed election. The situation has drawn international attention, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressing serious concerns about the announced result of the Venezuelan election. Blinken stated that the US believes the result does not reflect the will of the Venezuelan people and called for a transparent and fair resolution to the crisis.
The prospect of a third term for Maduro has been met with widespread opposition both within Venezuela and internationally. Critics argue that his presidency has been marked by economic mismanagement, human rights abuses, and the erosion of democratic institutions. The latest election has only deepened the divisions within the country, with many fearing that the contested result could lead to a civil war.
