Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's reelection is not to be taken at face value, according to the Organization of American States (OAS). The continental entity's election observation department found on Tuesday that the National Electoral Council (CNE) in Caracas is known to be pro-government biased.
Venezuela's Chief Prosecutor Tarek William Saab announced Monday that an inquiry had been launched into opposition leader María Corina Machado's alleged involvement in the hacking of the National Electoral Council's (CNE) data transmission system from North Macedonia during Sunday's elections.
Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) announced in the wee hours of Monday that President Nicolás Maduro Moros had been ratified for another six years in office. However, the main opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia posted on X that “the results are undeniable” because “the country chose a peaceful change.”
While Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) Chairman Elvis Amoroso denounced that Western media outlets were behind a campaign seeking to taint next Sunday's presidential elections, Argentine reporter Jorge Pizarro of Buenos Aires' Radio Rivadavia was denied access into the country upon landing at Caracas' Simón Bolívar International Airport, from where he was deported via Panama after over six hours in detention.
