ai generated text

The US government has recognized Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of Venezuela's presidential election, despite the country's electoral authority declaring Nicolás Maduro the victor. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that it is clear to the US and the Venezuelan people that Maduro lost the popular vote, citing overwhelming evidence that Urrutia received the most votes. The US has called for a peaceful transition of power in accordance with Venezuelan electoral law, while the opposition has gone into hiding due to fears for their safety.

    1. We congratulate Edmundo González on his successful campaign.
    2. We congratulate Edmundo González Urrutia on his successful campaign. Now is the time for the Venezuelan parties to begin discussions on a respectful, peaceful transition in accordance with Venezuelan electoral law and the wishes of the Venezuelan people.
    3. In addition, the United States rejects Maduro's unsubstantiated allegations against opposition leaders. Maduro and his representatives' threats to arrest opposition leaders, including Edmundo González and María Corina Machado, are an undemocratic attempt to repress political participation and retain power.

    1. I have receipts obtained directly from more than 80% of the nation's polling stations.
    2. He lost in a landslide to Edmundo González, 67% to 30%.
    3. We have known for years what tricks the regime uses, and we are well aware that the National Electoral Council (CNE) is entirely under its control. It was unthinkable that Mr. Maduro would concede defeat.
    4. Now it is up to the international community to decide whether to tolerate a demonstrably illegitimate government.
    5. The repression must stop immediately, so that an urgent agreement can take place to facilitate the transition to democracy. I call on those who reject authoritarianism and support democracy to join the Venezuelan people in our noble cause.

    1. Venezuela's electoral process did not meet international standards of electoral integrity at any of its stages and violated numerous provisions of its own national laws.
